Canon A540 Camera Review
The Canon a540 is not cheap, so any criticisms reported are a major concern. While the Canon a540 digital camera's picture quality and controls were spoken of favorably, some negatives were found in the long flash-recycle time, in addition to the LCD sunlight problem. While the camera reported low shutter lag and rated high in continuous shooting, when using the slow-charging flash, which is effective for about eleven feet with this ISO performance, pauses between shots took as long as four to six seconds in practice. (The exact length of flash time will vary with battery type) Users have also stated that the red eye prevention mode only partially darkens red pupils in some photographs.

However, these minor flaws aside, the Canon a540 camera is an excellent buy for the price. It tested high in continuous shooting regardless of resolution and with limitless shots, nicely captures fast moving events in photos, and offers more camera accessories, such as telephoto lenses, wide angle lenses and an underwater case. The Canon a540 is a compact but full featured camera for the serious photographer or snapshooter.
