Customer Reviews

Great camera especially for beginners
I bought this as a gift for my parents and they love it. I was looking for an entry level digital camera which is easier to operate not too many complex settings, etc etc and especially with a video output and all these with AA battery. Spot on. The quality is great as you would expect from Canon. It has nice little features like if you rotate the camera after taking a picture, the picture rotates on the screen! The only thing which I hate a bit is the time taken to save the picture on to the SD card. This may be due to the card I am using (which is a Sandisk 256MB). Other than that, it is a perfect camera with great features and neat looks. Go for it!

Fantastic camera
I was really really surprised by how good this camera is. I bought it as a replacemnt for the BENQ one I bought a few mths earlier which developed a fault.

The pcitures are really good - had no blurry shots yet and the shutter delay is really short for a standard digital camera - about 1 second which is fine for taking photos of my fast moving toddler.

The video clips you can record are as good as others I have tried and have different settings so you can take a large movie or a smaller one with better quality picture. There is sound playback on the camera as well as when you upload to pc.

There are some great features such as portait mode, firework mode, night mode etc. and you can even take a picture keeping one chosen colour in or switch it for a different colour.

The software supplied has some nice features - stitch assist helps you to take several pictures and blend them into one long panoramic picture.

I am really pleased with this camera.

Better than my A60!
Bought this for my wife and I'm jealous! It's much smaller and lighter than my A60, and better. Here's why:

COMPACT SIZE.
It uses only 2 AA batteries (A60 uses 4) and SD card (A60 uses compact flash) which helps keep it's size and weight down.

INSTANT RESPONSE
I can't detect any shutter lag, and the camera is ready to use as soon as it's powered up - quicker than the A60

1.8 INCH SCREEN
Compared to the A60, it seems a much bigger screen, although in dimensions (1.8 vs 1.5) it

EASY TO USE
Simple modes and operation. No, it doesn't have shutter priority or aperture priority modes, but it has dawned on me that I have never used these modes on my A60 in 3 years of ownership......

NO RED-EYE
I cannot see any red-eyes in any of the pics, which is an improvement on many pics that I have taken with my A60 which have been blighted by red-eye (easily removable using PC but better if it never occurs). I think that the orange pre-flash is brighter on the A430 so reduces pupil size better.

VIDEO WITH AUDIO (SAME AS A60)
Yes, the A60 had the same video capability with audio, and both the A430 and the A60 have the all-important audio recording, with a SPEAKER for onboard playback (why do so many other cameras not have a speaker for playback on the camera?).

DELIVERY
Bought it Monday and received Friday afternoon - that's with Super Saver Delivery. Excellent service from Amazon. Most places only offer free delivery (if at all) with orders over £100, but this camera was £90 so would not have qualified for free delivery with other retailers.

SUMMARY
Great camera. Buy one.
