Review: I bought this Canon PowerShot A40 digital camera 2 years ago as a complete photography novice. What attracted me to this camera was the amount of functionality compared to other cameras at the time in the same price range. The beauty of digital is being able to practice using manual settings for apertures and shutter speeds, experimenting with the colour modes etc. Maximum sized pictures of 1600 x 1200 pixels is more than good enough for a 10 x 8" printed photo. You'll definitely have to buy a bigger flash card as the 8MB supplied card holds 7 photos in superfine mode. Max file size is 1.1Mb so a 128 or 256 card is more than enough and a card reader is also a definite must have for dowloading. Since buying this camera I have also purchased Macro, wide angle and telephoto lenses giving even more functionality. I now feel confident enough to go buy a D-SLR camera through what I've learned using the A40. |
