Canon PowerShot A510 ReviewPro Review:

CNET Reviews has a review on the Canon PowerShot A510 they write - 'This budget shooter manages to outdo its more expensive sibling in most performance categories except shutter lag, which was still decent at 0.65 second under high-contrast lighting and a good 0.95 second under low-contrast illumination, thanks to the focus-assist lamp's aid. Its first-shot time and shot-to-shot clockings were marginally better at 3.6 and 2 seconds, respectively, but like the PowerShot A520, this camera required 6 seconds or more to recycle its flash between exposures.'

Overview:

Packed with value superior to any other camera in its class, the PowerShot A510 is brimming with that "best buy" feel. 3.2 Megapixel resolution, Canon's exclusive DIGIC Image Processor and a new, longer 4x optical zoom bring life-like detail and radiant color to all your images. This camera is exceptionally easy to use, with a new ergonomic grip and big 1.8 inch LCD screen.
