Canon Powershot A530 vs Canon 5D DSLR

Ken Rockwell has reviewed the new Canon Powershot A530, and compared it to a Canon 5D Digital SLR costing 40x as much! The A530 features a 4x optical zoom lens, a 5 megapixel sensor, and a 2.5" screen. The Canon Powershot A530 is excellent value for money, available for £99 from Amazon UK:

"You can take the image from the $150 camera and put it on a billboard, since people see those from hundreds of feet away. What's important? Lightness (tone) and color. Talk to any painter or artist and they'll concur: details are just details, they're not critical to the success of a color image. Note that the sharper image from the 5D, even blown up this far, still has obviously suckier color."
