The PowerShot A540 is a 6-megapixel camera with a quick Digic II image processor, a new, more sensitive CCD sensor, a large 2.5-inch screen and 4x optical zoom. It's pretty much the same size as the outgoing PowerShot A520 and takes the same two AA-sized batteries. These don't last a very long time, so you'll certainly want to invest in a few sets of rechargeables. Canon does quote a higher batter life than the older PowerShot A520, but everything is relative. Perhaps contributing to the poor battery life, the 2.5-inch screen brings the PowerShot 'A' range up to date. The PowerShot A540 actually has a lower resolution screen than the outgoing A520, and the extra size makes it very easy to see the individual pixels on the screen. Having said this, the 2.5-inch screen is more easily viewed at a greater distance than a smaller screen, and in our opinion is worth having.

The first point of note about Canon’s competitively priced A540 – which upgrades last year’s Canon A520 – is that it manages to fit in both a 2.5in screen plus, as a battery-saving alternative, an optical viewfinder above.Perhaps that’s why the A540 supplied with two regular AA batteries as opposed to a longer-lasting rechargeable battery. Despite being cheaper and less flashy than Canon’s IXUS range, the A540 doesn’t skimp on features. Chief among these are a six-megapixel resolution for poster-sized prints, a 4x optical zoom lens stored flush to the body when not in use, and functions shared with more professional models.
