User Reviews for Canon PowerShot SD430 Digital Camera (5.3MP, 2592x1944, 3x Opt, SD/MMC)

  • Reviewed by: SC4SHURA

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Wireless

    Weaknesses: Pricey

    Overall Evaluation: Unlike other ELPH digicams, the Canon Powershot SD 430 really does as it is advertised. This camera provides a unique approach to shooting without cables with th Wireless Print Adapter included in the box for wireless printing to any PictBridge printer and offering wireless remote capture from your Windows computer. Canon built the SD430 with a 5.0-megapixel sensor, which may seems a little low these days. The only drawback would be the price.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Small, decent photos, Wi-Fi capability

    Weaknesses: Wi-Fi needs update to function stably

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this as a back up for my main camera. I adjust property insurance claims, both homeowner and commercial, and need a reliable digital camera. I thought the Wi-Fi feature would be a wow factor for my grandkids, its not something I envision using for my claims work. Therefore, the camera fits my requirements.
