Canon A610 Digital camera £93.99 *MAKRO CARDHOLDERS ONLY*

BritishBeef

Offer runs from 27th June until 3rd July.

I cannot praise this camera enough. I am a photographer in my spare time (my main camera is the Canon EOS 5D). I use the A610 for holiday snaps and when I don't want to lug my main camera gear around. The images from this camera are superb. It may only be 5MP but that doesn't mean a thing for normal camera use. You can make prints at A4 with no problem and above too with little degradation. Don't be fooled by mega pixels - the more isn't necessarily the better. The other thing I love about this camera is the video capability (I use that a lot). It shoots fullscreen 30fps video beautifully. A very handy feature is the fold out screen. IT enables you to get those awkward shots, like along the ground or above your head. It's not the smallest camera around but I like that - especially with a 4X optical zoom as it makes it easier to keep steady. It feels really robust too. I have dropped it a couple of times and it's working fine. It also has full manual control as well as aperture priority and shutter priority. The Macro feature is very impressive.

Check out the net for reviews - they are nearly all glowing.

Anyway, I'm rabbiting on here but for the money it's a great bit of kit.

Hello,

Ive got this camera, after several weeks of research i bought it blind off the internet for about 150quid. Its brilliant. Read the reviews online, you wont find a bad word said about it, easily out performs a lot of the more expensive models and even its bigger brother the A620 i think it is? Takes a much better picture than my friends more expensive Panasonic Lumix which even he agrees.

For the money, its perfect, buy one, you wont be disappointed. Only downside I can really think of is its not made to fit in your pocket. I bought a canon case for it for about a tenner but it isnt pocket friendly. Doesnt bother me to be honest but might put some people off.

Great camera, i should be on commission!

cheers

I use swordfish cases for my Canon camera. A perfect fit and very clever case with a rain flap to cover the case in case it rains. Simply brilliant....both the case and the camera.

got one of these on Friday and have spent most of the day going through the menus and all the tricks. Looks complicated but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Got a fortnight away to play with it so should be fun. One thing that puzzled me is that I got some Uniross 2700mAh rechargables and they only lasted about 30mins while I was messing about:( Would you recommend any other type of battery? I have the normal AA bateries as well. Other than that it looks like I might have some fun with it
Cheers:beer:

That's strange. I use 2500mAh Uniross rechargables and they last me all day and usually more. In fact, I have never had to change batteries during a day out etc. (on holiday - shooting lots for example). In fact I would go as far as saying that they last a good few hours of constant use. You may have duff batteries/charger. Don't use normal AA's - they will only last 20 minutes!
