- A bit of a disappointment
Not sure what's going on here to be honest.

I've had two of these and both have exhibited a very similar characteristic when using the flash indoors.

Taking indoor pictures using the flash shows evidence of the same darkish static uneven banding on pictures which is more apparent on uniformly coloured backgrounds. The illumination using the flash unit is therefore somewhat uneven.

Strange thing is that both cameras have been from vastly different production batches (as shown by the serial numbers) so I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the flash units Canon are using or whether it's something else ?

The other annoying thing is that the first camera actually took better indoor & ... Read More:

- Recent acquisition - but wish it had a 'remote' like Olympus !
Very happy with this camera and the quality as well as the flexibility - however having seen a friends's Olympus - I 'd love to have a 'remote ' as it makes holidays and happy occasions so much nicer because you can be in the picture yourself - much better than the wretched 'timer' !

Come to think of it I haven't been able to get a case for this camera as yet !!

Any ideas ?

- Very Satisfied with alround results from this camera
The Cannon A530 is an ideal camera for both quick point and shoot enthusiasts and those wishing to experiment in photography.
Over the years I've had various cameras both SLR and compact and this Cannon A530 is my first digital.
I was impressed by the results after quickly reading the short form handbook - using AUTO setting. Both indoor & outdoor colours were true and in focus.
The camera comes with all the cables and discs necessary for computer loading and an extra disc which contains a rather lengthy in depth user handbook !
Like other reviews I would comment on the rubber socket cover being rather flimsy and likely to snap with constant use...time will tell
Overall a good sound buy.

- Great Camera!
I recieved this camera as a birthday present. It's compact, fairly light and the 'bump' makes it nice to hold. Its packed with features (too many to list here) but I'll cover the main ones. It has several pre-set picture modes for different picture types, such as snow, beach, fireworks and indoor. You can use Auto mode, that works well for general snaps, but there is a manual mode if you want it.

It has a macro mode for closeups, photo-stitch for creating panorama's and you can shoot basic movies as well. The 4x zoom is good but doesn't seem to go that far. However you can bump it up to 16x if you use the digital zoom as well. Another neat feature is 'Focus Lock'. You press the shutter button down halfway, and the camera optimizes ... Read More:

- Cheap but not chic
Tested this before handing them out in the office.
Difficult to hold, my thumb strayed over the menu options to often. 7 seconds waiting for the flash to reset. Loads of settings but would you use them, video good, Zoom lens not, couldn't read a number plate in the car park outside.
Personally i wouldn't buy it.
