Canon A510 or A520

[bovichtj]

Hello,

 

I have this sweet camera (well, the A-75, precursor), my dad has the A510 and we want to get one for my Grandpa for his 80th birthday in February. I have seen the 520 for $159 at Circuit City, but I wonder if there is a better deal...

 

I think I heard that the 510 is on sale at Meijer for $149... would you keep shopping, or just jump on that? Is there much difference between the A510 and A520?

 

Thanks,

Joanne

Meijer on-line does have the A510 for $149, if I choose my parents' location (Battle Creek, MI). It shows not available at my location (Ypsilanti MI). I think this is a pretty good deal...

I would get the A520 at $159. It's worth the extra $10 to upgrade. The A510 had some problems that the A520 did not, plus you are getting a higer resolution.

Agreed.

 

I would buy the Canon A520 for $159 @ CC

Here is a side-by-side comparison of the A510 vs A520.

Thanks...

The less glitches, the better. My grandpa is quick, but not uber-tech savvy... I will pass the info on to my dad :)

I have the A520 and my parents have the A75, both are great Camera's I agree the 520 at $159 is a good deal. I got it for that back in Nov from Chief Value, but it hasn't been that low in a while . . .
