Most people who purchase a PowerShot A640 are content with their camera. Of course, a few point out that certain features are only available at an extra cost-such as image stabilization, a RAW setting, and information in the viewfinder. If these things are important to you, then the additional cost of adding them is a pittance.

Some users wish that their camera took higher-quality photos in low-light situations. It’s important to remember that most cameras have a hard time doing wide angles and close-ups with very little light due to the nature of photography. Other users are unhappy with the placement of the wrist strap. Yet there are no reports from Canon of customers needing to replace the A640 due to damage or defects.

If this sounds like a camera you want, and if you believe the high recommendations of other content customers using the A640, go out and buy one today. The Canon PowerShot A640 sells for about $300.

Youtube & Sony PicturesYoutube is in negotiations with Sony to take full legal rights to full-length content and movies from Sony Pictures, such as  ”The International” and “Spider-Man”. Any partnership between these two powerhouses would likely benefit them both, in addition of every Internet user.

Negotiations comes about a week after Disney announced that it had allowed and licensed short-form videos and clips to YouTube. For YouTube, getting short-form clips from Disney is a great move  but it’s not what Youtube wants the most.

We still don’t have anything official information as representatives from both companies declined to comment.
