My Canon Power shot A470 is ready for replacement. The color quality was always poor..How does this one do with accuracy of colors?

The colors look fine to me. Did not due a technical evaluation of the colors.

I have not had much time to work with this camera. I use it primarily for taking photos that I put online, and I use Photoshop for editing. I bought this camera to replace my Canon Powershot.

I had one and I can say the picture quality is terrible. Every pic I took for 2 years was blurry and grey. I bought it brand new and regretted it. I replaced it with a Panasonic Lumix which is fantastic.

I contacted canon and you can send to their repair center. I slammed my camera on the floor and the screen went dead. Still took great pics, but unfortunately couldn't see what I was shooting since there is no viewfinder. To repair and shipping it was $110 so I opted not to because the Canon 1100 is now $140. I love my camera. Always took the best pictures. I bought the SX110 and had to return that. Way too professional. I haven't tested it out in the store but does anyone know if the 1100 is the same size as the 750?

I agree with j-rob. Does anyone know how the newer model (HDR-XR500V) performs in low-light situations? They claim the Exmor-R sensor helps with these situations. It's too bad there's no easy or cost-effective way to upgrade. I'm not in the position to spend another $1k+ for a new camcorder that handles low-light.

I have had the e-510 and now the e520 and im havin trouble with it too. Just seem to be soft and not vivid I think the e-510 took better photos.

I have the Sony. (Took 3 thousand photos and video on an international trip). It is mostly fine, but there are 2 complaints with which I agree on the message boards. 1. Blue purple tint and glare from the lens coating in bright sunlight. 2. In general, not perfectly sharp pictures usually. (I have 5 year old Kodak 5mp that is often more sharp). The good...amazing motion stabilization. 'Able to take photos in almost any light condition without the flash!! I also have some good photos from moving vehicles. Very compact and no protruding lens or lens motor. Quick startup. HD movie is ok also. Acceptable battery life. FYI. There are assorted complaints about the Canons also. I have now read enough not to expect perfect photos from ANY point and shoot, but like you, I hate to drag around that Nikon. (You might try one of the new cameras with a bit larger sensor, like 4 3rds).

Did you pick a color? I'm considering the gold, but... i like the subtle almost no-color gold in the amazon pic. but everyone says go to canon's website and look there because the colors are truer: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoActhowever, i prefer the color as shown on amazon and not the darker gold as shown on the website. if you have seen this gold in person, can you determine which image is closer to the real thing? thanks!

Thank you! I haven't heard of the sx40 i'll check it out. I really like the specs. On the sx230. The images looked better than the Sony hx9 I was gonna get. But the canon seem to beat it with quality of picture. Thanks again

Epson's Artisan line boasts 'light magenta' and 'light cyan' to increase the available color gamut... but the resolution, on heavy cardstock paper, isn't as good as the Canon. I printed a batch of business cards. The Epson Artisan 710 fared better with overall color accuracy, but the Canon Pixma MP560 put out much sharper text. The Epson Workforce 610 is a bad performer; worse than the other aforementioned models - printing the same cards, at highest resolution possible, the output was grainy and to the naked eye one could see the dithering. And text quality was worse. Which is a shame; the type of ink this printer uses is pigment-based and lasts 3 times longer (300 years vs 100). But having a shiny nickel is pointless if you don't use it. In short, "My printer's ink is best!" but it's pointless if the output quality is low. About costs - they all will use a lot of ink and the net costs are comparable. Since all 3 models use separate ink tanks, you'll still save money on cartridge replacement. Since photography is a primary point, go for the Epson Artisan 710 - like the Canon it uses dye inks, which will last 100 years, but 100 years of solid color vs 300 years of visible dithering... :) (And if you need more than 8.5x11, something like the Epson R2400 or 3800 is the better choice compared to ALL of these models, bar none.)

Without knowing what OS you use (Windows or Mac) I can only suggest checking the Canon Website for the "Windows Adobe RGB 1998 Installation Program" http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/photo_all_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mg8220#DriversAndSoftware . If you haven't already, you might want to note the latest updates for the other Canon software programs that are used with the MG 6220. You can discover your printer's firmware version by running a "Printing Nozzle Check". The latest version is 3.020. I'd check for the latest firmware updates for your Huey Pro unit and for each of the graphics programs you use to print color projects. You can use the "Custom" settings after you install the Adobe RGB program to adjust the color balance to bring your contrast under control. Check the manufacturer's site for your graphics card (GPU) for updates that may help solve your problem. I use a 24" Dell U2410 monitor that is rated for very accurate color management right out of the box! It was nearly $500 on sale, but it was worth every penny. If you are using Windows 7 64 Bit, use the search window to look up "Color Management" just to cover all the bases. If none of this helps solve your problem, I'd check the Maximum PC Website for their reviews on monitors for graphic color accuracy. Also, and most importantly, I'd use OEM Canon retail ink cartridges when you are looking for high quality color. You're just rolling the dice with 3rd party compatibles. Hope this helps!

I used mine for B/W, but color is possible with post processing. The camera and lens combination makes all the difference. Not all camera and lenses work well with infared filter. My Nikon 3200 had a noticeable "hot spot" in the images. My Canon S110 point and shoot had only a minor hot spot. I strongly suggest that if you're interested in IR photography check out the web site Lifepixel. It explains all the ins and outs about IR photography.

I'm relatively new to the game, but I purchased the Canon 430EX simply because it's cheaper than the 580. I love it. The 580 is a lot more capable, but when I can afford to buy one (much later) I can still use the 430 as a slave. But, until then, the 430 will more than do.

My experience with using Canon Speedilite 270EX II... the pictures are always Overexposed. To the point where they're completely white-out.

I find that the D40X has a tendency to overexpose. Online reviews point out this as well. I typically set exposure compensation to -0.7. With that set (setting persists through power on/off) I rarely have overexposure problems.I forgot that I had this set one time when I was shooting in a dark nightclub. The flash pics were spot on and the non-flash shots were very slightly underexposed. Both printed well.

That has not been my experience. I shoot JPEG and the colors seem natural. I have had to adjust white balance on indoor shots in mixed light more than the Canon DSLR it replaced though. Overall a great camera!

Technically it's a light red. But nonetheless it is red. Regardless of color theCanon PowerShot ELPH 320 HS is a very nice camera. I have one myself andwouldn't care if it was pink, hot pink, or zebra. It takes great quality pix, is easyto use and it fits a pocket. Nice camera. Don't worry that it's not candy apple red.:Dan

Hey, I don't know where you live, but I just bought mine in black on 9/10 here in NYC. By the way, I've been waiting for Amazon to have this camera too. I pre-ordered both of them (black and silver), and never received an email saying that they were finally available to purchase. So, I took things into my own hands and found it myself. The camera is the BEST camera I've ever tried! I recently bought the fx500 from panasonic and the fujifilm f100. And before those two, I was a canon powershot sd500 owner. I can go into more detail, but I thought you would like to know of something I wrote on the forum page for the LX3 on photographyblog.com: Hey y'all, Sorry it has taken me a long while to respond to this little discussion, but just yesterday 9/10/08, I FINALLY bought the LX3 in black here in NYC at a family run Jewish store called 17thstreetphoto in the Photography district in NYC. I spoke with a super friendly man named Doug who told me that they got the silver and black ones 2 days ago from yesterday. they have 50 each. So, I went down there and immediately bought one. They have a 7 days no questions asked return policy so I'm trying it out like a crazy man. I attached the website. Keep in mind that if you mention the fact that on EBAY they have the price listed at $475, they will honor it in the store even though they have it priced at $499. Any questions ask me. But the purchasing experience with them was excellent.
