Canon PowerShot A540 Review

CNET have reviewed the new Canon Powershot A540, it features a 4x optical zoom lens, a 6 megapixel sensor, and a 2.5" screen, available for £172 from Amazon UK:

"Solid image quality, usable ISO 800 performance, and a full set of manual controls make the Canon PowerShot A540 an excellent choice for photo enthusiasts looking for an almost-pocketable second camera, or for budding photographers who aren't ready to move up to a superzoom EVF model or digital SLR. Only a flash that's slow to recycle lessens the appeal of this camera's 4X zoom lens, 6-megapixel resolution, and otherwise excellent performance. There are even more than a dozen scene modes for those times when you're tempted to switch on the autopilot."
