Some Canon Powershot A75 digital camera reviews might dub it as a camera for amateurs only, but there's no getting around the great set of features this user-friendly little camera presents.
For a start, Canon Powershot A75 digital camera reviews will point out the number of manual controls such as shutter and aperture priority, as well as manual focus, which are quite unexpected for a camera in this price range.
The A75 also includes a useful ISO range from 50 - 400, and it offers white balance controls with 5 auto-positions plus manual settings. The autofocus illuminator is welcome for low-light situations.
While it offers a respectable 3X optical zoom, and a useful macro range down to 5cm, you can easily expand your photographic possiblities with the variety of available optional lenses. Canon Powershot A75 digital camera reviews point out that by aquiring an conversion lens adapter you can add a wide-angle lens, a telephoto lens or a special macro lens to your camera.
One feature unfortunately lacking is the RAW file format, but then this was never considered by Canon to be a serious camera for professional photographers!
One firm user recommendation from many Canon Powershot A75 digital camera reviews is to replace the 32MB card with at least a 128MB or 256MB card. The Powershot A75 uses CompactFlash cards, which come in sizes of up to 2GB.
On the software side, the A75 has Zoom/ImageBrowser which can be used for downloading images from your camera, as well as for editing of your photos, and for photo printing.
Also included in the Canon Powershot A75 digital camera box is ArcSoft's PhotoImpression software, which permits you to do additional photo retouching and printing. For editing your short video clips you can use VideoImpression.
While some professional Canon Powershot A75 digital camera reviews have been less than flattering about image quality, there is an abundance of user reviews - even from professionals used to higher-end cameras - raving about the Powershot A75!
