This combo does what it should and thats take great photos and makes outstanding prints and I have been pleased. However, do not be fooled by what initially what appears to be inexpensive price even with rebate. My wife and I both wanted cameras to replace our 2mp kodak’s we have had for several years. I came across this combo and purchased it after my positive experience with canon quality and my 35mm slr ive had for years. But after getting the combo I realized I needed the printer cable, larger memory card, rechargeable batteries and charger. Thats fine I did expect to need some items, however, my wife found on amazon a kodak 5mp combo kit that included all the items for few dollars more when it was added up. Also, i read in a review do not get caught up in the 3mp vs 5mp vs 7mp because most will not be printing poster size prints. I agree with this, however, the more the better as i found out. Where the higher MP shines for the average person like me is when you want to crop or edit a pic. I was taking photos of different flowers for a montage and used both the 3mp and 5mp. I was able to crop and enlarge the photo on screen and print out a 4×6 with no loss in quality while the 3mp did a good job i did start seeing some loss in quality. Like i said this is a solid printer excellent print quality and the camera is great but just be aware of the additional costs of ownership for items you will need and that are included in other combos.

Help answer the question about Canon PowerShot A410 3.2MP Camera
Digital camera not detected by mac?
I have a Canon Powershot A410 that I've had for a couple of years, and my new macbook won't recognize it. Everything else Canon PowerShot A410 3.2MP Camera about it is fine and it uploaded to my dad's PC, but my macs don't seem to notice when I plug it in. I tried my new computer and my old computer, which it used to work on, but to no avail. I've tried installing the software and it wouldn't, and the manuals don't say anything about it. Should I just get a new camera?

I’ve had this printer for about a year. The printer works great, prints well and fast. I can’t speak to photo printing (ie, on photopaper) but colors are vivid and vibrant. My negative review comes because of the price of the ink, a full set of new ink cartriges costs more than the printer would cost new without the camera, $67 for ink from staples, $51 for ink from Amazon and $49.95 for the printer new from amazon. At this point, it would be cheaper to buy the new printer, just for the ink.
In addition, each ink cartridge has a special Canon chip in it, so after market ink is essentially out. You can buy cartridges, but you have to go through the process of cutting out the chip from the old cartridge and putting it in the new, kind of a jury-rig process. It’s doable, but kind of annoying if you just want to buy and install a new after market cartridge.
I have no idea what would make a good alternative, but just for the ink price, I’d skip this printer.
The Camera is ok, but nothing special. This camera model, like several other Canon models, has a design problem with the zoom lens jamming (search “E18 error” on Google).
In summary, given a chance to redo it, I’d rather buy a different printer and a different camera, so there’s very little point in investing in this package.

All I can say is you cant get any better for the money! As others have said, from unboxing to printing in less than one hour. Its amazing! Printing from the camera is a one button deal. The photos are clear and very colorful. No one could tell the pictures came off a printer. We finally loaded software on my laptop so we now have editing functions as well. We are using Canon Photo Plus paper with awesome results. Now the interesting thing will be to see how long the ink lasts. We’ve printed about 50 prints so far and still going strong.
The only, minor, complaint I have is the camera size. Its a bit on the small side. The pressure required to snap a photo makes me jitter the camera a bit. Still, its not enough to blur a picture.

I haven’t had time to learn all the intricacies of my camera and printer, but from all indications, it will be a great purchase which I will enjoy on vacations and occasions in the future years.
We love the camera and the printer is very nice. When we tried to install the supplied software, there is some sort of conflict and it turns off my wireless router. I’ve tried to fix the problem, but haven’t been able to get it to work.
i haven’t used the camera a lot…but when i have it has worked out just fine. my “old” digital camera is just that…old. i have had it for over 10 years. although it is much larger than my “new” camera – i have to admit i am more comfortable using it. the old camera doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the new one — that is something that is hard for me to get used to. but the canon a410 is a really good camera for a fairly low price. i am happy with my purchase.
I got this camera in 2005 and it is now 2008 and it has been everywhere with me! We’ve gone skiing, went to Niagara falls (this camera survived maid of the mist boat ride), several zoos, conventions, graduations, microbiology laboratory ect. This thing has stayed working in all sorts of weather after much tumbling around in my handbag. I take it to school and work every day. I’ve never had any problems with it – ever. The menus and functions are user-friendly. The flash is just right (not harsh) and never makes my face look shiny like so many other cameras do. The zoom is awesome and the self-timer can be custom set in many ways!
Tip: use rechargeable batteries rather than regular. This camera went through my AAs very quickly during long events (half day and full day events called for at least one battery change). Now, with the $20 rechargeable 2500mAh batteries, I only run out of power every few months no matter how many or long my photo-ops last! It’s been great!
One question, though. Why is there a video feature if the camera cannot record audio (sound)??? I never use the video feature because of this.
This camera takes great pictures, is durable, and is my best friend. Thank you Canon!
I’ve had this camera for 3 years now. I use AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries. Never a problem with the camera or the batteries (I got the Sony brand that comes with the charger). You’ll probably need to buy batteries, a larger memory card, and perhaps a case. This camera will not take SD cards that are “HC” (high capacity). Those cards are usually 4GB and higher.
Picture resolutions this camera can capture:
2048 x 1536
1600 x 1200
1024 x 768
640 x 480
There are 3 Modes you can enable, 1) Superfine, 2) Fine, and 3) Normal. These settings change the JPEG compression. Superfine has little to no compression. And Normal will have the most compression. If you lower the setting to “Normal”, you can decrease the file sizes and fit more pictures on your SD card and take more pictures.
This camera will show you the amount of pictures you can take at a particular setting. For example, with a 512MB SD card, at the highest resolution of 2048×1536 and set at “Superfine”, it will take 302 pictures. At 2048×1536, and set at “Normal” it will take 1066 pictures. If you have used up half your card disk space, it will account for that and display the amount of pictures you can take.
It can capture movies/videos. They will not have sound though. Below are the dimensions:
640 x 480 at 10 FPS
320 x 240 at 20 FPS
FPS = Frames Per Second
The 320×240 videos look good and run a lot smoother because of the higher frames per second.
Also has common features like Macro, Supermacro, indoor/outdoor settings, etc.
I’ll never buy another digital camera till this one breaks down. I use to think the megapixels of the camera meant it would take better pictures. However, that is incorrect. That only means it will take higher resolution pictures, which doesn’t necessarily mean better pictures. If you do a lot of printing or print larger than 8.5 x 11, then megapixels would matter. I stopped caring about that since I rather have a camera just take quality pictures. If I were printing posters or something, I’d care.
It is fairly simply to use.
