Canon PowerShot A700 – Review @ DCRP
DCRP has recently posted its in-depth review of the Canon PowerShot A700, a 6.0 megapixels (CCD sensor) point-and-shoot digital camera with 6x Optical Zoom lens (35 – 210mm equivalent) and a 2.5″LCD screen.
“Camera performance was good in most areas. The A700 turns on quickly, focuses without much of a wait (it seemed faster than the A540), and shutter lag wasn’t a problem. Low light focusing was very good, thanks to the camera’s AF-assist lamp. Battery life was above average, with the A700 squeezing out 400 shots using two 2500 mAh NiMH batteries (using the CIPA standard).
Photo quality was very good. The A700 took well-exposed photos with accurate color, low purple fringing, and reasonable noise levels. The A700′s 6 Megapixel sensor has pretty good ISO performance, allowing you to print 4 x 6′s through ISO 400. The ISO 800 isn’t terribly useful, though you may be able to squeeze out a smaller print after running the image through something like NeatImage. The one area in which the A700 ran into trouble was with regard to “redeye” in flash photos. “

Canon PowerShot SD600 / IXUS 60 – Review @ Steve’sDigicams
Steve’sDigicams have recently posted a review of the Canon PowerShot SD600 / IXUS 60, a 6.0 megapixels point-and-shoot digital camera (released on 21.02.06) featuring 3x Optical Zoom lens (35 – 105mm equivalent), a 2.5″ LCD screen, and a real image optical view finder.
“The majority of our outdoor samples were sharp and showed good overall exposure. However, I did notice a bit of edge softness on some of our images, but no more than the typical consumer camera. Color saturation is pleasing for a coNsumer model…Bottom line – The Canon PowerShot SD600 is a welcomed addition to this awesome ultra-compact line. Not only can this model be carried in any size pocket, it’s ready to capture that special moment in an instant with such robust performance. Image quality was very good for a consumer model, and with 6-megapixels you’ll have plenty of resolution to create photo-lab quality 8×10-inch or larger prints.”

Canon PowerShot SD600 / IXUS 60 – Review @ PocketLint
PocketLint’s Doug Harman has recently posted a review of Canon PowerShot SD600 / IXUS 60, a 6.0 megapixels point-and-shoot digital camera (released on 21.02.06) featuring 3x Optical Zoom lens (35 – 105mm equivalent), a 2.5″ LCD screen, and a real image optical view finder.
“…that image quality is quite simply excellent. Colour is natural – but adjustable – if you need more or less vibrancy. Images are sharp thanks to both the nine-point AF set up and the DIGIC II processing. The 6MP sensor provides plenty of detail but more importantly so does the very sharp, 3x, 35-105mm F/2.8 optical zoom lens, its ultra-high refractive index aspherical (or UA) optics allow both a compact lens (and so camera body) design and provide great clarity too. Finally, at either the ISO 80 or 100 settings images are extremely clean and free of noise.”

Canon PowerShot A700 – Review @ CNET
CNET has recently posted its review of Canon PowerShot A700, a 6.0 megapixels (CCD sensor) point-and-shoot digital camera with 6x Optical Zoom lens (35 – 210mm equivalent) and a 2.5″LCD screen.
“We liked the Canon PowerShot A700′s images, which were very similar to those of the less expensive A540. Metering in both cameras sacrificed detail in highlights in order to preserve detail in shadows, both had well-saturated colors, and neither had much noticeable purple fringing. The A700 produced slightly more neutral flesh tones than did the A540, plus its automatic white-balance systems kept colors pure under both daylight and incandescent light.”

“Noise is nonexistent at the lower ISO settings (80 or 100), but does become more noticeable as the sensitivity is increased. While ISO 800 is filled with visible imager noise, I feel the ability to use higher than normal shutter speeds in marginal lighting conditions makes up for the decrease in image quality. ..Bottom line – The Canon PowerShot A700 is an awesome consumer digital camera. One that I would highly recommend to anyone in the market for a fair priced model with loads of user friendly features and outstanding image quality and performance. Its 6x optical zoom will blow away the competition’s typical 3x zoom, and with 6-megapixels, you can create beautiful 13×19-inch or larger prints. “

Canon PowerShot A430 – Review @ PopPhoto
Popular Photography’s Bill Schiffner has posted a review of Canon PowerShot A430, a 4.0 megapixels (CCD sensor) point-and-shoot digital camera with 4x Optical Zoom lens (39 – 156mm equivalent), and a 1.8″ LCD screen
“The A430 is a very compact and ergonomic unit. The camera’s brushed metal construction feels very comfortable in your hand and the various control buttons are well placed throughout the body and easily accessed by your fingertips. One negative, however, the zoom button is located on the back of the camera so it takes a little getting used to when you are using the viewfinder to frame your shot and trying to zoom….
All in all, the Powershot A430 has a host of features to suit a consumer looking at making the leap to digital photography. It’s compact, easy to use and has a 4x optical zoom. In addition, Canon has added some of the latest features normally found on some of their higher end models making it one very efficient camera.”

They gave the camera 78 out of 100 and write;
” The Canon IXUS line is very well thought out, and the years of success that have preceded this model will undoubtedly be continued by the Canon IXUS 60. One wonders just how long Canon will manage to keep this up, but at this time the IXUS is still proving extremely profitable for Canon. The camera meets all expectations. The Canon Digital IXUS 60 is of a compact size, has been neatly and attractively finished and has an excellent image quality. The possibilities and options offered are extensive, and might prove for some users to be the start of a more active interest in the creative side of the world of digital photography. The Canon IXUS 60 is a trendy digital camera, but also one that keeps a keen eye on quality. “

CNET have recently posted its review of the Canon PowerShot A530, a 5.0 megapixels (CCD sensor) point-and-shoot digital camera with 4x Optical Zoom lens (35-140mm equivalent), and a 1.8″ LCD screen. They give the camera 6.8 out of 10 and write;
“Photos fared better, although here too the A530 had a few problems. At low ISO-sensitivity settings, the camera produced very strong images with little noise, accurate color and exposure, and a low incidence of chromatic aberration. By ISO 400, the noise became quite apparent; beyond that, photos reached the better-than-nothing stage.”
