This ten megapixel camera has digital zoom with 4x optical zoom. The maximum focal length of this camera is 29.2 mm, with a minimum of 7.3 mm. The minimum shutter speed is fifteen seconds.

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.
