Very good

7.6

View score

The good: Manual and automated exposure and focus controls; solid image quality; robust burst mode; usable ISO 800 shots.

The bad: Long flash-recycle time; LCD washes out in direct sunlight.

The bottom line: Solid image quality plus manual and automated exposure controls make the Canon PowerShot A540 a nice low-cost option for snapshooters and photo enthusiasts.
