Canon PowerShot A810 Preview

The Canon PowerShot A810 is the most affordable model in the entry-level A series announced by Canon today. While the A810 will only set you back $109.99, it's got a lot in common with its more expensive siblings, including a 16 megapixel CCD image...

Canon PowerShot A810 Review

The PowerShot A810 is the entry-level model in Canon's extensive range of compact digital cameras. Priced at £79.99 / $99.99, the A810 features a 16 megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom lens with a focal length of 28-140mm, DIGIC IV image processing...

Using the Canon PowerShot A810 isn't an unpleasant experience. It's easy to use and the people that it's aimed at will be perfectly happy with how it performs. If you're looking for a camera to make you go “wow!” then this isn't one to do that. But you...

Canon PowerShot A810

Extremely easy to use with fast and intuitive operation ; Remarkably clean and detailed files at ISO 100 ; Great price point

Automatic mode tends to produce flat or overexposed images ; Flash slow to charge ; Awful burst speed

Canon PowerShot A810 Digital Camera Review

The Canon PowerShot A810 is a budget digital compact camera which takes AA batteries with 5x optical zoom and a 16 megapixel sensor.

Built-in help guide; Available in a good range of colours; Good creative modes; Images have really good colour reproduction; Easy to use

Image detail isn't sufficient for large prints

Canon PowerShot A810, Digital Camera Review, Tech Specs, Price.

Canon PowerShot A810 is a cheap digital camera in the Canon's A series lineup. It is instrumental in producing crisp and crystal clear images.

• Digital IS image stabilization ; • 100 to 1600 ISO sensitivity ; • 4608 x 3456 pixels still image resolution and 4x digital zoom ; • Fish eye support ; • It also features Help Button for further assistance ; • A810 supports different shooting modes...

• Not so good in low-light conditions ; • 720p footage is a bit grainy when video is zoomed ; • Build is a bit cheap ; • Not so attractive design ; • No image stabilization ; • Short battery life if flash is used often ; • Flash take a very long time...

At such a low price, A810 is still not so bad. And if you go through the overall Canon PowerShot A810 Review, you can easily judge that it is a good camera, which offers you with good pictures and decent video recording if compared to other brand’s...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Love Newegg

Every company can goof up and make a bad product. It is how they stand behind what they do that makes a difference. In this case, it is a very good camera. Takes wonderful pictures. Easy to use. They just need to redesign the battery door, one that is...

Newegg is the greatest. Canon would not do anything about the plastic battery door that broke after one week of ownership except to offer to sell us a new camera ; Newegg stepped up and sent us a brand new camera ; I will continue to buy from Newegg...

Obviously Canon will does not honor their warranty. We will never buy anything Canon again. And we tell all of our friends about our experience

Nice camera but worthless warranty

Do not ever buy a plastic camera or anything made by Canon. A warranty tells you what a company thinks of their own product. And they obviously do not think much of this camera. I believe that plastic can be strong, but they need to use a better grade...

Nice Camera, takes good pictures, uses normal batteries, not some expensive unique lithium battery

They take a good camera and put it in a cheap plastic body. I had it for one week and then the little plastic door that holds the batteries in cracked and split. I made a mistake and contacted Canon instead of Newegg. I should have returned it and...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great for what it is

At the regular price it is not that great of a deal. But I got it when Newegg ran a sale for $20 less plus a free 8GB SD card. At that price it is perfect, and expendable should another mysterious intern related accident take place. I have used...

low price ; small size and light weight ; big LCD screen ; extremely simple button layout ; good auto focus and exposure performance ; uses standard AA batteries - no worries about forgetting to charge it / losing the charger ; I purchased this camera...

very little optical zoom ; no manual settings at all ; no force flash setting - its either no flash or auto flash ; no AV output options (but who actually uses them?) ; auto adjustments are a little slow - sometimes you can miss that 'perfect moment'...

Nice Shot

I really love new Canon camera it takes really great pictures. I also love the feel of the camera it really lightweight in my hands. The only reason that it not rated a 5 is because I runs by batteries I like chargeable cameras. Batteries should have...
