Good, Solid Camera1168829038

Pros:

10mp. Flip-out LCD. Wonderful looks

Cons:

Poor images in low light.

A day after purchasing the A640, I discovered that this camera is the best camera that I've had. 10mp, 5mp higher than my Canon A530, four higher than my A540.
The camera, overall, looks amazing, with its dark, dark blue, nearly black surface. It's weight is perfect, and every button is in reach.
With the LCD being 2.5 iches, and with the vari-angle ability, getting every shot is, well a snap.
As with everything that is "perfect", they suffer some flaws: it's almost unbareable night shots. The only way to get a night scene, you have to bump up the ISO, and well, this is where it stumbles. There's more noise than a 17 year old girl on a cell phone at an AC-DC concert. Also, I've found out that the wrist strap placement is not placed well, what with all the opening and closing of the USB connection port.
With everything that the A640 has to offer, I've found out that this is a very capable camera, and the pros outway the cons.
