After a quick look in the manual, I found it quite easy to snap some macro shots. I was astounded by the results. The beauty of the close-ups far exceeded my expectations.
Now I see the velvety texture of the petals and the shadings of color and wonderful patterns in nature. Whenever I have a few minutes, I take the camera for a walk. Who knows what I might find; a blue jay's feather, red berries on a bush, clover in an open meadow... My eye is drawn to the minute objects and details usually overlooked in the landscape. Macro photography has opened my eyes to the beauty of tiny things.
The camera is lightweight and easy to keep steady while snapping a close-up. Now I want to try out all those other buttons that I've been ignoring. Who knows what new photographic areas I may yet conquer. My macro photos are drawing rave reviews from friends and family.
The reviews here are so positive that maybe it was just a defective one, but I'm wary of buying this model again. However, based on our excellent experience with several other Canon digitals we will get another Canon - just not this one!
I got my camera delivered at work, so I sat at my desk working, thinking about getting home to crack open the box and start playing with my first new camera in 3 years. The sweat pouring on my brow.
"Sir, do you mind if I go home early?" I moused to my boss.
"Did you finish the such-n-such account?"
"Yup!", with enthusiasm.
"Have fun...."
"Thanks!" As I grabbed my coat and dashed out the door before he changed his mind, I almost ran out without the camera!
<----end sillyness---->
Upon opening the package, I read the manual a bit, then started up the camera and took some sample pictures. All very easy, straightforward, and the little icons on the buttons mirror the purpose of the buttons (intuitive!). Then I followed the directions to install the software for connecting the camera directly to the computer. Unfortunately, after many hours of frustration, I could not get the software installed. However the second tech support guy I talked to about the issue was very knowledgeable and explained that I needed to reinstall Windows because I was missing a required windows file. Otherwise, the camera is way better than my old Sony Cybershot 3 megapixel, but not only because of the megapixel difference. The options available are excellent (panoramic stitch, nice video quality, etc). The reason I did not give 5 stars is because it has difficulty focusing sometimes which seems to get worse when zooming in. Perhaps all digital zooms are like this, but this is easily remedied by releasing the button, turning the camera slightly, and refocusing. After the picture is in focus, turn the camera back to the subject and it's perfect!
Overall, a much better experience than the old Sony and the memory cards are cheaper.
Good points:
Focus, close-up (macro mode), contrast, colour, ability to produce fab pictures with very little effort, (set to auto then point and shoot - you won't be disappointed!), AA batteries (but use rechargeables!)
Not so good points:
Screen resolution could be better, battery hatch not as solid as other A series Canons, memory card covered by battery hatch.
Overall, I doubt you will find better for the money, so 5 stars despite one or two criticisms.
Software for transfer to computer is excellent and pretty intuitive, but do read the manual for the transfer software. Cables and all that included.
It takes AA batteries, which was the next-most-important criterion for me. AA batteries are easy to find anywhere, and they don't cost an arm and a leg. AAs do add weight, but this was a small matter to me bcs I didn't want to be tethered to a battery charger for proprietary batteries.
Also, another deal-maker was a viewfinder. This camera has one (in addition to the screen on the back).
Zoom is easy to work. Button to take picture is centered in zoom dial. Easy to manage both with the same hand.
Buy an extra memory card (the one that comes with it holds about 8 pix!). The camera takes a garden-variety memory card, not a proprietary one (cf.: Fuji).
Buy the case. Front pocket holds 2 extra AAs. Good, strong velcro on flap.

I couldn't be happier with this camera. I can even take decent pix with it. I wish the "refresh time" were shorter, but you can't get everything in one camera at this price point! And this is about the only negative I can think of. While 5 seconds to refresh seems long....aren't we all spoiled with instantaneous-ness of the world these days?!...5 seconds is not that bad!
Great camera. I shopped this purchase very long and very thoroughly (many places, many brands, many types), and this one was hands-down the best for my needs and honoring my deal-makers. Don't hesitate to get this camera. mb
UPDATE, 2011: Turn off the flash entirely and choose smallest length of time spent in "view" mode (where you look to see what you just took) for faster refresh. Still not as fast as I'd like it, but it's an improvement!
The product itself is a great fit for the A570IS, fitting the camera snugly as you would expect and therefore provided a good standard of protection. There is space on the inside of the lid for memory cards and enough room in the front pocket for AA batteries. What more could you want?
Compared this in a shop to a LowePro Apex alternative and found it a better fit and only a couple of quid more for the official item. Well worth the extra outlay.
Liked pics and movies taken in my florida trip.
Only thing I am UNHAPPY IS THIS CAMERA WAS SOLD AT 256 $ and now it's COST is 239$ on amazon...:( within 15 days...
Nice camera for family trips, fmily occasions..., in home and office. and good for starters too...especially the 10X optical is a bonus...
16MB SD card is a joke I used my 1 GB SD I had ...It stored 350 pics with default setting in auto...I had to replace batteries 2/3 times....if you take videos more , you will need bigger 4 GB SD card..good thing SDHC also works with camera...EXCELLENT HAPPY
All-in-all I'm satisfied with the purchase, but just barely.
All was well for a about a year, until my automatic lens cover began malfunctioning. Now, every single time I go to take a picture, I have to remember to flick the half open lens cover with my finger. The camera already has a slow start-up, so this is just the icing on the cake. Figures that the problem comes up after the warranty period is over.
Additionally, the 4x zoom is nice and can give decent 'portrait shots' with background softening, macro is decent enought for most needs, and it has easy to learn controls.
One downside over the older versions: the batteries share same compartment with SD card, so it's easy to forget, when getting the SD card out, that you can also drop the batteries which isn't good, especially for NIMH, if dropped onto pavement.
I've probably sold 7 of these via recommendations in the past 6 months and every single person has called to thank me. They are thrilled with the images and ease of use and the price point. One person went with the A620 on sale, and it, too, has been a good camera thus far, although it has smaller LCD -- though it flips out, and has some nice features if it's your only camera and you want to be more creative in your photography. (I would probably skip the A6xx series though, and move to the S2/S3 Canon if I wanted more pro-features in a less expensive, less complicated camera and it's not all that much bigger than the A6xx series.)
in the dark, but wouldn't expect it to be. Good all around
camera for family use.
Now, I must stress that this camera absolutely has point-and-shoot usability. In fact, the speed at which the thing powers up very much impressed me: from touching the power button, I can comfortably move my finger to the shutter, depress it, and the photo is taken. No more missed shots waited for the camera to turn on!
So the A620 does all the slimmer models do, just in a slightly wider package. The benefits, however, are great: 4 AA batteries means greater power and longer life; manual adjustment of settings, such as shutter speed, aperture value, and focus depth; fold-out LCD screen, useful for odd camera angles, such as shots low to the ground (also means the LCD can be protected when camera is not in use; very handy to me, as I bought the A620 to replace my old digital camera, whose screen had cracked while in my backpack!); 4x zoom rather than 3x, means you'll be doing less cropping to get the shot you want--and remember that in digital photography, cropping means a loss of quality.
If those facts aren't enough to convince you to accept an extra half inch or so of casing, maybe the camera isn't for you. I for one bought it because it was cheaper than the comparable--and also because it's not quite as girlie. ;) After having it only a week, I was already experimenting with the different manual settings, and found myself able to execute shots simply not possible from using the point-and-shoot setting, such as focusing on obscure part of the picture, or placing the camera on a tripod and taking a picture of the night sky with the shutter left open for 15 seconds. Beautiful!
Couldn't be more impressed with this model. Don't buy something simpler and limit yourself!
One more piece of advice: I bought the cheapest 1GB card available, about $10 or $15, and it works splendidly with this camera. It's fast as heck, too--so don't be conned into paying $80 for some "X-treme Sp33d" card.
Why did I buy it? because I wanted something compact and reliable, the amazing 10x optical zoom, and with video capabilities larger, longer, and better quality than the 3 minutes clips of my old camera. also easy compatibility with my mac laptop. the pictures are crips and colorful, I guess depends where you point the camera at. Video quality is superb, not HD though and the only low down it's very noisy at low light levels but I'm not using it for broadcast. for that I got to use the SNHVRZ1-J HD cam. Also the audio is fantastic, got some really good sound from a considerable distance at a concert.
Battery life. As expected, 1 hour for HD video and 4 hours for stills. buy a back up if you expect to shoot for more than 1 hour of video without having to turn it off.
Memory card. I got the 4 GB memory card.. definitely enough for the time I need to use it, I got a second card as a back up.
Overal, a great compact camera, I love it, even with the cons the pros outweight any doubt about it
coudn't have made a better choice.
My only "con" is the fact that it does not have a view finder. I like the stability of resting the camera against my cheek. All pics are composed using the digital window, though I must say this is a good size and with the face recognition feature is easy to use.
It takes only a few clicks of the arrow buttons on the back of the camera to set up everything from custom white balance to shutter delay. I haven't yet found controls for saturation and sharpness, but I don't think I'll need them.
The movie mode is very nice, at 640x480 and 30fps. The results look just as sharp as those from my Sony Digital-8 camcorder, though of course the A620 won't let you use the optical zoom while recording. The audio does seem to pick up a hum from the camera itself.
The camera's sensor resolution is about 7MP, and the optics must be good: 5x7" prints (from a Canon i960) show excellent detail. I haven't yet tried printing at 8x10.
I've yearned for a digital camera which would produce the levels of shadow detail one sees in an Ansel Adams print -- the kind of detail that draws the viewer in ever closer until his or her nose is almost on the paper. I'm just getting started with the A620, but for small prints and low ISO settings it looks like it could do the trick!
The A620 uses AA batteries. Pick up a set of NiMH batteries and a recharger (the camera comes with 4 Panasonic alkaline batteries) and you'll be all set.
I'm not sure how quickly the batteries drain. So far I've gotten nearly 100 photos and a couple of minutes of video from a set of 2000 mAh Radio Shack NiMH batteries, charged once.
The camera comes with a 32MB SD card. You can't get very many high-resolution photos on such a tiny card. (And I think you could fill it with less than 30 seconds of video.) I bought a 512MB SD card, which should have room for about 150 photos. I'm not sure how much Motion-JPEG video it will hold.
The included USB cable works without a hitch. The A620 supports USB 2.0, so it transfers photos and movies quickly. However, the plastic door which covers the camera's USB port is flimsy, and it interferes with the camera's wrist strap. A separate USB 2.0 SD card reader would probably be more durable.
A lens adapter and accessory telephoto and wide-angle lenses are available for the A620. I've ordered the lens adapter and a 58 mm rubber lens hood, which I hope will let me take glare-free photos through the side window of my airplane. The adapter is threaded, so it should also accept polarizing filters.
The A620 will fit in a coat or vest pocket. It will even fit in a shirt pocket, but it'll cause a significant bulge -- and a sag: it's pretty heavy :) If you want a pocket camera you might want to consider another model/brand.
This was a gift, but I think it's amazing that you can get so much camera for less than $400.
Cons: small included SD card, flimsy USB adapter cover, some audio hum in movies, may be too large for some tastes.
Pros: fast, easy to control, sharp focus, great detail, good movie quality, AA batteries, lens accessories, great price.
I read reviews before I purchased the product. Some man said that the little controls were difficult and didn't understand why they just didn't make a bigger camera. I'm pretty sure this has to do with the size of his hands. The controls aren't too tricky for me. I have also heard criticism of where the buttons are located. The on/off is located far from the other controls. That's actually good--I sometimes turned my Elph off instead of pushing the shutter and now that isn't an issue. I like where the buttons are located. I can take a still photo, press Rec, zoom and switch modes with one hand!
One last criticism I don't feel is a problem: there is no red-eye reduction flash setting. I don't like that setting anyway because the subjects would have to sit staring at the camera which never makes for a good shot. The TX-1 includes in-camera red-eye removal which is far superior. It's so fun to push the button and watch the red-eye disappear!
Bottom line--
Practical for mommies!
Unfortunately, the camera has a very slow flash cycle time (upwards of 10 seconds). This is so annoying that I find myself pulling out my old A95 and SD600 for indoor photos. What a shame as this camera takes such great photos!
It is a great size for slipping it in your pocket as well. That being said, it did take a little bit of time for me to find a comfortable way to hold it due to the small size. After using it for a while there is no longer a problem. You will definately want to use the wrist strap to avoid any accidential drops from larger hands.
Be sure to get at least a 1 gig memory card, as the one supplied gets eaten up pretty fast in the video mode. A spare battery is also a good idea.
