Good beginner camera for the price

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this camera to those who are looking for their first digital camera that want an easy-to-use product. Great for teenagers/college students. An overall good value.
Review: I have owned this camera for about one and a half years now. It is my first digital camera, and have had no problems with it. The optical zoom is adequate for most applications, and the pictures turn out quite well. However, the digital zoom is not...

MOST UNRELIABLE CAMERA, NEVER NEVER BUY THIS PRODUCT, BUY SOMETHING ELSE PLEASE

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2006
Review: I BOUGHT THE CANON A520 from Circuit Circuit City, in 2 months the Zoom got stuck, and the camera could not be powered on. Now the camera is a piece of Junk. Canon charges more to repair that the price of the camera itself. I read a lot of review...

Canon Powershot A520: a great everyday camera

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2006
The Bottom Line: A great everyday camera with some nice special features for those who want to go further.
Review: When I was told that I would receive the digital camera of my choice for my 18th birthday, I started doing some serious research. I found that the A520 had more of the features that I wanted than any other camera in the price range, and Canon is at...

Canon Powershot A520 good but not the best

Date of Review:  Sep 12, 2005
The Bottom Line: There are probably other cameras that are more worth the price than this model. But overall its a good camera, has functions that are not really for novices.
Review: I am an intermediate user on a limited budget. When I purchased my Canon Powershot A520 two months ago it was with some reservation as I had read mixed reviews.

I found this camera to be relatively easy to use but with a lot of features...

A very good camera for an acceptable price

Date of Review:  Oct 6, 2005
Review: The Canon Powershot A520 is an easy to use, 4 megapixel digital camera with 4x optical zoom lens and provides a high image quality. It comes with a 16MB MMC Memory Card, two batteries, usb-cable, tv-cable, good software and a brief manual (although...

Three times, Canon has tried but failed to repair the thing!

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2005
Review: Don't look too closely at your photos from the A520 taken at max. zoom or you'll notice one side of the frame is blurred, not as sharp as the other. View the photo at 100% full size to inspect for this - something Canon repair technicians apparently...

Canon PowerShot A520 Digital Camera, One Fine Camera and Easy To Use

Date of Review:  May 23, 2005
The Bottom Line: This happens to be a fine camera that isn't overly expensive for a good, solid first camera.
Review: Back in December I was the lucky recipient of my first ever Digital camera. This gift moved me into a whole new world of taking images. The camera I received was the Canon Power Shot A400 Camera. It was very simple to use.

Canon A520: A Great Personal Use Camera

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: For price and features you won't go wrong with the Canon PowerShot A520. You can now see photos taken with this camera at http://epi-cmaw63.pbwiki.com/Electronics
Review: Need a good digital camera but don't have a clue where to start? Maybe you already have the knowledge, but are overwhelmed with the multitude of digital camera options. I had never held a digital camera, let alone used one when I was given the Canon...

An Old Reliable Tank of a Camera

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2009
The Bottom Line: I have had this camera for over 3 years and it has been great.  If you're a beginner this camera is perfect and you can't break it.  Great camera!
Review: I am one of those guys like Scrooge McDuck.  Well in some ways I guess.  Scrooge had the reputation of being very rich, but not ready to just give his money out to anyone.  I am not very rich, but when I go to buy something somewhat expensive, like...
