Canon PowerShot A530 Review at CNET

Canon PowerShot A530CNET have reviewed the new Canon PowerShot A530, which offers 5 megapixels, ISO 800, 2.5 inch LCD and a 4x optical zoom lens.

“Speed is really the A530’s weakness. After a start-up time of 2.1 seconds—pretty typical for cameras in this class—and a brisk 0.5-second shutter lag in good light, the lag increases to a full second with the lights turned low. The A530 requires a painful 2.8 seconds between nonflash shots and a full 6 seconds between shots with flash. Even its continuous shooting proved surprisingly slow, averaging about 1.8fps compared to the A540’s 2.3fps.”
