Canon PowerShot A640 prices and specs
The Canon PowerShot A640 was released on Aug 24, 2006. For today the cheapest price for the device is 119.95
The Canon PowerShot A640 belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Canon PowerShot A640 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't make pictures of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The camera can shoot photos at 10 megapixels max resolution. But for better picture quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/1.8' (7.144 x 5.358 mm) sensor which means that the model will make photos with not so high quality as cameras with bigger sensors but instead it is smaller. And if you want to produce photos of the professional quality check Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R II.
The Canon PowerShot A640 has max shutter speed of 1/2500 sec. It is an average shutter speed which is rather good for shooting action photos of a very good quality. The camera can even shoot videos but the max resolution is not very high - 640 x 480.
The lens is fixed and the photographer can't switch it. The lens has 4x optical zoom.
