What could have been better with the Canon SD600 digital camera?
-
Canon
could have made it easier to access the special scene modes as currently
you’ll need to use the function key, then scroll down to the shooting modes
selection, move to the right until you reach "Kids & Pets," and then hit Menu
to find the options - You can only access white balance and EV compensation options in the manual mode
- You do need to purchase an additional memory card, the camera is so good you’ll be sure to use up the 16MB in no time
- The LCD should be used because you can barely see anything through the optical view finder. Because of constant LCD use the battery would need to be recharged quite often
- Under harsh lighting the contrast is a little high and this results in loss of highlight and shadow detail
Despite what appears to be drawbacks, the Canon SD600 Digital Camera is a very effective device. It provides great quality photos and the features that are less than perfect are all relative to the user. What I think could have been better may be absolutely fine for you. So before you pass it over, have a closer look at the Canon SD600 Digital Camera. It just might be the perfect digital camera for you.
