I am the owner of the A540 (and not only - the details are in my photos), which needs to be changed from time to time. I tested this device in the store (A480). I read the reviews. Has concluded. The camera is above average in quality, which manufacturers can now give, following their marketing-fraudulent policy. The camera has a matrix of 1 \ 2.3 by 10 MP, about the same as 1 \ 2.5 by 7 MP. (I bought S760 - compared 7mp). The quality is commensurate with the same A540 plus a modern processor (speed). The intensity of noise for daytime shooting at iso no more than 100 is acceptable for printing in 15 by 21 format and viewing at 1024X900. For harsh shooting conditions, ISO 200 or less - 10x15 Printing and 800X600 Playback are applicable. Other sensitivity values (ISO) are not applicable. The screen is visually bright and the resolution is naturally not a fountain (115,000 pixels), given the total price, the norm. What you actually want from a camera of this level: 1 it is of course that manufacturers finally stop raising MP and give really necessary options. Among these, I attribute the HDMI connector to all cars (it will come very soon, there is no doubt). USB interface and preferably with the function of recharging the batteries without removing them. The third choice: either the screen with LED backlight or the viewfinder was returned to its place with the software function turning off the screen when the machine is turned on. Some of these options will appear in the next 2 years - conclusion: we will wait for at least part of these requirements. The new 490 and 495 models do not. Once again, I would like to note that you should not expect quality at 4 and 5 from pictures. When buying cameras with an unacceptable ratio of matrix sizes and the number of megapixels, we automatically settle for 3. So let it be the most convenient triple with a plus. This machine is a prominent representative of this trio, with the exception of the points described above, which will be more in demand than a face detector. Details and Tips for selection in the diary. (not intimate) TOTAL Three with a big plus.
