I always loved taking pictures and so it was natural that I'd do all the feature tests as soon as possible. So I soon began taking random pictures and some of the pictures that I wouldn't expect to come out good came stunning! One of the best features of this camera is that you don't need to worry about the light as it offers powerful zoom flash. Now taking quality pictures at night just got a little easier!

Ease of use: I always thought that digital cameras would be very complex to handle and operate but let me tell you it is easier than a film role camera and it's completely automatic! You can go on for years without using any features but be sure to replace the 2 AA batteries needed! If you can learn a few quick features from the extensive manual that comes with it you'll be fine most of the time.

Simplicity: Canon has been a brand that favors simplicity in all its production line. Generally, Canon products have a very shallow learning curve for almost all of their products and Canon A520 is no different to this. The features are easily navigable and straight forward without all the geek speak that you find with these kinds of high-end cameras. My 10 year old brother often reminds me that even a kid can operate it with ease.

Durability: Canon A520 is a very durable gadget made of plastic and metal that can survive very uncertain handlings. I have even dropped it off my hands but I've never seen any problem in the operation. If you are not so careful about handling such gadgets then Canon A520 is all what you need.

Just a regular photographer: Do you need a camera that can be used on not so frequent occasions like parties, get together, birthdays and such then A520 can suit your needs perfectly. You may also find it a great gadget even if you use a camera more than a couple of times a month.

Great Integration: The A520 box contains a USB cord and a CD with special software so that you can send those memorable pictures to your friends on the other side of the globe.

Low Energy Usage: Now this one may not seem to be a biggie but it is. Imagine yourself shooting a great, once in a lifetime shot and run out of batteries? The result is a lifetime of frustration. With A520 you get a powerful camera that uses low amount of energy.

Although this review is just a note-down of my personal experience as a more than average camera user majority of you will go great with this gadget. Canon A520 is a perfect family camera having powerful features and yet the simplicity that even a 10 year old kid can operate it with ease! In a very short time Canon A520 has made it into average homes gaining confidence and trust!
