I've been using the Canon Powershot A40 digital camera for 3 years. The picture quality is excellent, but it eats batteries - rechargeables are a must. It's rugged, having survived a few low level drops.
The camera has the features most people want i.e. point and shoot, and a flash.
The auto focus ...

Bought my Canon PowerShot A40 a year ago in Hong Kong. Best price as they were phasing-out the 2.1 MegaPixel digital cameras already (feb 2003). Added a Muse 128MB Compact Flash Card for good measure. Great value for money. Only problem I encountered was the canon software got corrupted for an unkno ...

Bought the camera over a year ago now. Was well priced - I paid £200 but obviously now the A60 or even A70 would be the go. The camera was easy to get to use in Auto modes and even the manual options can be quite easily learned. The camera takes great photos- as good as many 3 meg cameras. And ...

Good quality camera which shoots above what the 2 megapixel resoultion would suggest. The quality easily compares with our last couple of 35mm cameras (sub £150 pentax and a samsung).
The menus take a bit of getting used to but once you have had a play they gradually become intuitive. Other t ...

I am very happy with my Canon camera - it is well worth the £250 I paid for it.

On automatic mode images in bright sunlight can be slightly overexposed. Also, the colours are slightly washed out on auto, but fine when you manually adjust the white balance. These are my only 2 gripes.

I tried several cameras before finding out that this camera is the best 2MP option.
If you are just an average user you will find it very easy to use. but if you want to be creative and use some of the knowledge acquired in your last photographic course.. you have plenty of options to do it.

I bought the A40 after having a Powershot S10. While the A40 has many more features and short video capability, it is a clumsy and poorly configured camera. To add insult, the unit was faulty causing: over and under exposure of all pics. Canon now repairing under warranty - but I would prefer to let ...

I will never buy another film again. Great pics even blown up to A4. The software gets better pics from 2M pixels CF other cameras using 3 or 4M. Photo stitch is flawless. Very easy for those who just want to point and shoot to get great results + control for those who want to do their own thing. Th ...

I love the fact that it is not a camera where you buy and get stuck with no add-ons or accessories to enhance the photographic experience. You can add wide or telephoto lenses, use an underwater case to take pictures while swimming. Pictures are sharp, colours true to detail and contrast is balanced ...

When assessing any sort of camera, the only thing that really matters is the end result. The Canon Powershot A40 has many advanced features which are designed to get the perfect result: spot metering, variable ISO speed from 50 - 400, several white balance settings, several 'photo effect' settings, ...
