General Comments
I bought my Canon PowerShot A75 to replace a much loved HP 618.
The Canon initially impressed, with excellent battery life and fast shutter performance. It was after downloading the pictures my main problem with this camera arose.
Many pictures appear flat and under saturated, especially floral images. Of course the camera offers many other modes and setting the Exposure to -1 or even -2, made matters a lot better.
Purple fringe is also a problem on more pictures than I expected.
On overall picture quality, I wouldn't rate it as good as my old HP 618, which was only a 2.1 megapixel. I have to make adjustments on too many pictures to make them look as I want.
