A true all-round camera
Review of Canon PowerShot A540 by NicoB taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages This camera has all the settings you'll ever need
Disadvantages Optical zoom doesn't work in film mode

...I've purchased the Canon PowerShot A540 about 3 month ago and must say that I'm very satisfied with it. The camera has a very comfortable handling because of the shape of the battery compartment, which doubles as grip (on the other hand, holding the camera is very uncomfortable if your left-handed but I think all cameras are designed for right-hand use) The picture quality of this camera is excellent and it has a setting for almost any occasion. If the presets are no good for you, you can manually change all the settings, but this will take some time and experimenting to do right. The camera is equipped with a nice 2.5" display and an optical viewfinder in case the display is not clear (like in bright sunlight environments) In addition to taking pictures, you can also record film with sound on the camera. Overall I think... Read review

A pocket sized powerhouse
Review of Canon PowerShot A540 by wailor taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Full Manual controls, 2.5" lcd screen, lightweight, portable
Disadvantages I'll have to think about that!!!

...I bought my A540 last christmas which is about 4 months ago. Reason was my previous camera Konica Minolta z1 got stolen and desperately needed another one to tie me in until I get a more professional SLR. Feature wise, it has an excellent choice of features. There are several preset settings for night, snow, landscape, portrait, etc if you want to take out the hassle of trying to set the controls manually, or you can set all the controls manually yourself. there are also controls if you want to set the shutterspeed alone or the arpeture alone. there is the automatic and and it can also take video. What is more, you can control the range of the flash, alter the focus settings to spot, evaluative or centreweighted, your have about 6 settings for the size, you can take pics in colour, sephia, there's even a setting for selective...

Review of Canon PowerShot A540 by panther23 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages changable lenses, waterproof case, to buy separately
Disadvantages Can not see any

...straight after connecting it to a PC. Preview photos and make some changes and enhancements. It's one of not many cameras to which you can buy seperately a waterproof case or lenses. Overall I give it a note excelent as this camera - Cannon A540 has never failed me. Please don't forget to rate this review. Thank you... Read review

Manufacturer's product description

This camera is equipped with an approximately 6.0 million camera effective pixel 1/2.5-inch Charge Coupled Device (CCD). Also, with DIGIC II, higher resolution and high-speed processing were achieved and the startup time and response time were shortened. This camera is equipped with a 4x optical zoom lens, which covers a 35mm film equivalent focal length ranging from 35 mm (Wide Angle) to 140 mm (Telephoto), and f/2.6 (Wide Angle) - f/5.5 (Telephoto) aperture. The recording pixel settings now include a "Widescreen" mode that has the same aspect ratio as 16:9 widescreen TVs for shooting wide images. Adding ISO 800 has resulted in a faster shutter speed even when shooting in dark environments. The Color Accent mode and Color Swap mode that transform colors when shooting have been added to the Special Scene mode. The new "My Colors" in the FUNC. menu is used to change the look and feel of the pictures when shooting. With the newly added "Standard", "Fast Frame Rate", "Compact", "Color Accent" and "Color Swap" modes in the movie mode, it is easier to select modes to meet your photographic purposes. In the significantly enhanced movie mode, VGA (640 x 480 pixels) movies at a full 30 frames per second can be taken continuously until the clip size reaches 1GB or the clip length reaches 1 hour. In the Standard mode, digital zoom while recording movies is available. In the Fast Frame Rate mode, very smooth QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) movies at 60 frames per second can be taken. This camera is equipped with an upgraded 2.5-inch Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Grid lines are displayed for easier photo composition when the camera is in the Shooting mode. With the newly added Night Display, the camera automatically brightens the LCD monitor to suit the brightness of the subject, making it easier to frame the subject when shooting in dark conditions. The speed of continuous shooting has been increased to approx. 2.3 shots/sec. A function to create a folder to store recorded images by shooting date or shooting month has been newly added. Along with this, operability in playback mode has been improved by the addition of such features as a function to jump to and display the first image of each shooting date. This camera is equipped with a Print/Share button. This button lets you easily print your images and download images directly from the camera to a computer (Windows / Mac OS X) by connecting the camera directly to a direct print compatible printer or connecting the camera to the computer. A new "Print Menu", including all menus for printing, has improved camera operations for such functions as direct printing. This camera uses two AA batteries and a MultiMediaCard or an SD memory card for the recording media.
