What's Hot: It's basically a simple, great quality, easy to use digital camera even my mom can use.

What's Not: It only has standard functions, nothing fancy and can be a little big when travel space is at a premium.

Review: I love my Powershot 540A and would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, easy to use digital camera. It takes great pictures, has a comfortable grip and allows the basic features most point and shoot users need. It even adjusts for fluoresent lights. I would have liked a bit more optical zoom though.
