Canon PowerShot A640 Review at CameraLabs

Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | November 9, 2006 | 0 Comments

Canon PowerShot A640CameraLabs have reviewed the new Canon A640 and Canon A630, which has 10 megapixels, a 2.5 inch LCD screen and 4x optical zoom lens.

“Speaking of which, the increase to a maximum of 800 ISO is still quite modest compared to the 1600 and even 3200 ISO modes boasted by other compacts, but of course it’s the quality that counts. Interestingly the A640 adopts a different approach to noise compared to most compacts these days. It appears to apply much lower noise reduction to avoid smearing fine detail, although at the cost of visible noise speckles. Ultimately it’s a personal choice as to which looks best, but we prefer Canon’s approach as at least the detail’s there and you can apply further noise reduction in software later as required.”
