About - Canon PowerShot A810

The Canon PowerShot A810 is a 16-megapixel camera with 5x optical zoom and has a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 28mm-140mm. It has a 2.6-inch LCD (230,000 pixels).

Because of its small size, we consider this model a subcompact.

The PowerShot A810 stores photos and video on SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards but has no on-board storage. It captures images as JPG files at a top resolution of 4608 x 3456 and HD-resolution video as MOV files at a top resolution of 1280 x 720.

Unlike most digital cameras, this model accepts AA batteries.

The image stabilization system for this camera is electronic.

The PowerShot A810 measures 3.7 inches wide by 2.6 inches high by 1.2 inches deep, and weighs 6 ounces (with battery, memory card, and strap).

About This Brand

Canon is the market leader in point-and-shoots, with an extensive line of models, which are known as PowerShots. Its budget line, the A series, is made up of compacts and subcompacts.  Canon's subcompacts are known as SD ELPHs. Its SX-series are mostly super zooms and come in various sizes and include smaller or larger feature sets. Canon has the D-series compact, which it claims are waterproof and shockproof. Its high-end series, the S and G lines, include special modes and manual features, such as the ability to shoot RAW files and to focus manually. The EOS Rebel series helped to define budget SLRs. Other SLRs include a host of pro and more-advanced consumer models, including models that have very large, full-frame sensors. Canon also offers a wider selection of lenses than most brands.
