Canon PowerShot A520 Review
The Canon Powershot A520 is a four megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom lens. The lens has a focal length equivalent to a 35-140mm lens on a 35mm film camera. One of the main attractions of the Powershot A520 is the number of features it offers for a relatively low price. This gives you the option of using the camera either as a simple point and shoot model or trying out some of the more advanced features.

This type of camera often appeals to families where some members are looking for a camera that is easy to use whilst others are looking for one that gives them greater control over how the final image is produced.

As you can gather from the Cost section of this review you can buy cheaper four megapixel digital cameras. So the question is why would you pay the extra for the Powershot A520? A lot comes down to the features it has. If you think you will make use of all the features offered by this model then it is probably worth paying the extra money. If all you are looking for is a simple point and shoot camera then although I wouldn't rule this camera out I would take a close look at some of its competitors.
