When you look at the specifications for the Canon PowerShot A50, it blends into the crowd. However, hold the camera in your hand and view the pictures, and you'll realize how the camera distinguishes itself from its $499 peers.
Our test shots displayed excellent color accuracy and saturation, as well as good reproduction of a variety of skin tones. The camera handles bright and dim light equally well, with little color noise or shift in shadow areas. Its images are sharp especially for a 1.3- megapixel CCD indicating a high-quality optical assembly. Even in continuous-shooting mode, we never noticed long delays between shots.
