Review on 📷 Silver Canon PowerShot A810 Digital Camera with 16.0 MP, 5x Digital Image Stabilized Zoom, 28mm Wide-Angle Lens, and 720p HD Video Recording (OLD MODEL) by Scott Decoteau

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great camera for the price, good features, good photo quality, video is a bit blocky with a lot of movement. Rated 4.5

CHDK (Camera Hack Development Kit) lets you do amazing things. (I suggest you do a Google search for CHDK, it's amazing for Canon cameras!) This camera becomes a super camera with features to rival SLRs and more. The photo quality is excellent. Battery consumption is average with rechargeable batteries, with good 2500 mAh batteries. I bought a couple of these and mounted them side by side on a custom made stand and used CHDK to use their USB ports so both could take a picture at the same time for great 3D stereo photos. The flash works great, the photos are good, even in low light they are quite decent. Cons: Video recording is so-so as the video had a lot of encoding artifacts when objects are moving or the camera is moving a lot. (Real life example, I filmed my daughter riding a carousel and all the movement caused a lot of blocky artifacts.) Otherwise, if you're filming in a well-lit area with little movement, it's perfectly acceptable.

Pros
  • Good for many
Cons
  • No Insurance
