About this product
Product Information
This camera is equipped with an approximately 6.0 million camera effective pixel 1/2.5-inch Charge Coupled Device (CCD). Also, with DIGIC II, higher resolution and high-speed processing were achieved and the startup time and response time were shortened. This camera is equipped with a 4x optical zoom lens, which covers a 35mm film equivalent focal length ranging from 35 mm (Wide Angle) to 140 mm (Telephoto), and f/2.6 (Wide Angle) - f/5.5 (Telephoto) aperture. The recording pixel settings now include a "Widescreen" mode that has the same aspect ratio as 16: 9 widescreen TVs for shooting wide images. Adding ISO 800 has resulted in a faster shutter speed even when shooting in dark environments. This camera is equipped with an upgraded 2.5-inch Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Grid lines are displayed for easier photo composition when the camera is in the Shooting mode. With the newly added Night Display, the camera automatically brightens the LCD monitor to suit the brightness of the subject, making it easier to frame the subject when shooting in dark conditions. The speed of continuous shooting has been increased to approx. 2.3 shots/sec. A function to create a folder to store recorded images by shooting date or shooting month has been newly added. Along with this, operability in playback mode has been improved by the addition of such features as a function to jump to and display the first image of each shooting date.Product Identifiers

Amazing quality, but low battery icon.
I absolutely love this camera! The quality is exactly what I was looking for. It’s amazing! However, after one week of using it the low battery icon popped up, and I’m confused as to why that is because the batteries I put in were brand new. Not sure how to fix this problem, but it’s still great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

probably not the best camera, but reliably does a decent job. has macro, auto, landscape, portrait settings, auto focus on or off, can shoot short video with sound. I got an sd card with more memory than the original, hey, this one cost me $12, works great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Classic Camera
I bought this camera to replace one my stepmother had ruined by keeping batteries in it too long. She wanted another camera just like the one she had and I was glad to be able to find one for her. She likes it because it is heavier than newer cameras and large enough to grip easily since her hands shake a little. She is 101 years old! The camera came without a memory card and I found that I had to order an older memory card with only 1 g since newer cards with more memory would not work in it..Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great little camera!
I have used the Canon PowerShot A540 for years and it is a great camera and easy to use. The first one I bought for personal use and then bought five more for our office. It takes AA batteries which are easy to load and the software loads the pictures to the computer easily.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Older model but loaded with features
A friend had this model and I knew I wanted one. For an older model it has aperture and shutter priority. The images are very sharp with good contrast. The flash is well balanced for exposure. Also the camera has optical and digital zoom. There are many more unexpected features. The only minor drawback is that after only short use the low battery warning came up. I was using alkaline batteries. When I measure the batteries they show 1.3 volts, certainly enough to continue. I will wait to see when the "danger" warning shows. I am very happy with this camera.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Older camera, but still great quality photos for the resolution.
AA batteries make this a great camera for travel. Good picture quality, and it is old enough that it probably won't get stolen.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Canon PowerShot A540
This is the second A540 I have purchased because it is a great camera. The first camera I have was purchased new retail, so I have all of the original support items. This one is for back up and it has some extra features. The camera is extremely user friendly and takes super images.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
