Canon a640

Canon a640 10.0 mp

Purchased as a upgrade from a 2 mp camera.  Camera had a 4x optical zoom 35-140mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and 4x digital zoom.  Simple to operate and good pictures.   Zoom offered better resolution than my longest telephoto lens attached to my film camera.  Camera a little slow to take an image and often misses action photos.  My wife still uses the camera and has declined the offer of an upgrade.    

Thoughts and Hacks

1. Liked aa battery power.   

2. Simple to use in a small package that still feels like an old Instamatic film camera.  

3.  Fits under the seat of the car and easy to access.
