Charles, those are great pictures. I'm looking for a new digital camera. What kind & model do you have? Thanks. Fred.

This camera is the successor to the PowerShot A510 with enhanced functions.

This camera is equipped with an approximately 5.0 million camera effective pixel 1/2.5-inch Charge Coupled Device (CCD). Also, with DIGIC II, higher resolution and high-speed processing were achieved and the startup time and response time were shortened. This camera is equipped with the 4x optical zoom lens, which covers a 35mm film equivalent focal length ranging from 35 mm (Wide Angle) to 140 mm (Telephoto) and an f/2.6 (Wide Angle) - f/5.5 (Telephoto) aperture.

PowerShot A530 succeeds the basic shooting functions of the PowerShot A510 and has additional or more advanced functions as well except omitting Tv (Shutter-Priority AE) and Av (Aperture-Priority AE) in the shooting mode.

The recording pixels now include a "Widescreen" feature that has the same aspect ratio as so-called 16:9 widescreen TVs for shooting wide images. Adding ISO [800] has resulted in a faster shutter speed even when shooting in dark environments. The Color Accent mode and Color Swap mode that transform colors when shooting have been added to the Special Scene mode. The new "My Colors"(*1) in the FUNC. menu is used to change the look and feel of the pictures when shooting. With the newly added "Standard", "Compact", "Color Accent" and "Color Swap" in the movie mode, it is easier to select modes to meet the purpose. In the Standard mode, digital zoom while recording movies is available.

Grid lines are displayed for easier photo composition when the camera is in the Shooting mode. With newly added Night Display, the camera automatically brightens the LCD monitor to suit the brightness of the subject, making it easier to frame the subject when shooting in dark conditions.

A function to create a folder to store recorded images by shooting date or shooting month has been newly added. Along with this, additional function to jump to the first image of each shooting date and play has improved the operability in playback mode.

This camera is equipped with a Print/Share button. This button lets you easily print your images and download images directly from the camera to a computer (Windows®/ Mac OS X) by connecting the camera directly to a direct print compatible printer(*2) or connecting the camera to the computer. This camera also complies with the PictBridge(*3) industry standard.

The new "Print Menu" including all menus for printing has improved camera operation for such as direct printing.

This camera operates with two AA batteries and MultiMediaCard or an SD memory card for a recording media.

The dimensions (excluding protrusions) of the main body are 90.4 x 64.0 x 43.2 mm and the weight is approx. 170 g.

Software for transferring your pictures to a computer, organizing pictures, laying out pictures for printing and editing still pictures and movies is included with the camera. This software is available for both the Windows and Mac OS platforms(*4).
Also, this camera is compatible with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, high-speed image transfers with a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatible computer is possible.

My Colors Mode: [My Colors Off], [Vivid], [Neutral], [Sepia], [B/W], [Positive Film], [Lighter Skin Tone], [Darker Skin Tone], [Custom Color]
2:

Direct print compatible printers include the Canon SELPHY series, the Canon Compact Photo Printer CP series (Canon Direct Print and PictBridge compatible), the Canon Bubble Jet series (Bubble Jet Direct and PictBridge compatible) and non-Canon PictBridge compliant printers.

PictBridge is an industry standard for direct printing that allows you to print images without using a computer by directly connecting digital cameras and digital camcorders to a printer, regardless of the devices' brand and model.

Windows 98 SE/Me/2000 SP4/XP (including SP1/SP2), Mac OS X (v10.2-10.4) PowerPC

I'm surprised no idiots wrote - Did you asked the squirrel for permission to have his picture taken???

:P

Why do you have to put that last comment about idiots? Are you looking for attention and when you don't get it you say comments like that. The same was done for the blog concerning your 200,000 visit to this site.

I actually liked this blog and it's comments until that last one from you. The same with your 200,000 visitor to your site blog, I actually like it and was happy for you until you wrote that inappropriate comment

It was pretty funny though. Who'd have thought the most comments would come from a blog with just a picture of a piscopel.
