As others have mentioned, the cover over the AA batteries and SD card is a bit flimsy, but otherwise the camera is solid feeling. One other minus: visible time and date stamps can be printed only at 1600 X 1200 "Postcard" resolution.
Auxiliary lenses are available from Canon for this camera, though I haven't bought any--yet. Suggested accessory: a tripod or monopod if you're doing pictures in low light.
This camera appears to me to have been designed by an egghead who values pixels far above f-stops.
The camera's programming is guaranteed to give blurry pictures anytime you shoot without a flash in anything less than full sunlight. Let me give you an example: I just stepped outside at 4pm on an overcast day. It's daylight outside, but no direct sunlight. I turned the flash off and pointed the camera at grass, light colored wood fencing, and a white dog. You know what the camera used? f 5.6 & 1/12. In daylight conditions, it chose 1/12 sec exposure!!!
Canon, hire a photographer to advise your code monkeys.
Reader, do not buy this camera if you have any intention of ever turning the flash off.
It takes excellent pictures, saves photos rapidly, cycles quickly to allow rapid photography, and is more frugal power wise so batteries take more photos. Its movie mode is so good, it competes easily against many digicams, but in a far more portable size. The movable LCD viewfinder is as effective as the legendary rotating lens made famous by the Nikon coolpix. Over 6 months old, my camera has taken some abuse and is alive and well. Some users have warned against jamming the lens mechanism, so I've taken care to insure the lens shaft is free of dirt and moves freely.
The built-in instructions are easy to understand, but the camera falls short of 5 stars because one needs to read the manual to understand the fine nuances of programming this camera.
Just follow your guts and you'll find the function you want.
But all the frequently used ones are right there at your finger tips.
I personally love the custom timer function that allows you to set a delay up to 30" and take up to 10 pictures! You never have to go back and forth...
Use Energizer e2 Lithium batteries and you'll be wondering if you have the camera in your hands as it becomes soooo light!
What i don't like but it's not a big deal is the amount of batteries it uses (4AA) but it compensates with the lenght of battery life.
-redeye
-no preset sport scene
-usage of AA batteries
-the cover for digital and SD card are moderate built
I do agree a bit regarding the wuality of the batter y cover as noted by another reviewer. IT does feel a little flimsy, but the camera itself is quite nice.
Will update this after this weekend when I get to shoot quite a few pics in varying conditions.
But so far, I am staying with the 5 stars.
And then you can always start investigating the manually controllable features and special functions when you get more ambitious...
Only drawback? The camera feels good to hold, but is too bulky to fit inside a breast pocket. So think about where you are going to use it and how you want to carry a camera around.
- It has a 4x rather than 3x optical zoom. It really is worth getting the more powerful optical zoom, as using the digital zoom (which does work perfectly well, to magnify beyond the limits of the optical zoom) leads to degradation of picture quality. Optical zoom tends not to.
- It has a smaller viewing screen than the IXUS, but the number of pixels is the same (so the definition of the larger screen on the IXUS 750 is actually poorer) and, importantly, the screen on this one swivels - allowing you to take pictures of yourself, to take pictures over the heads of others by holding it up but pointing the screen downwards, and to rotate the screen into shade so that you can see it when standing with bright sunlight behind you.
- The IXUS is a fully-automatic 'tourist' camera - the Powershot also has a fully-automatic setting but, in addition, allows a greater range of manual adjustments, should you feel the need to make them.
The quality of the camera is great.
I would recommend that you also buy a larger memory card. The included 32mb card will allow about 55 images at a decent (1600x1200) resolution (this resolution is actually the 4th-poorest of those the camera offers! - the large setting is phenomenal but perhaps not necessary for most shots). I just bought a 1GB card and it will hold 1750 of the same size pictures!! Useful for a long holiday - more so to contain lots of video clips too.
Problem areas:- The display simply washes out in sunlight,if you are taking pictures in flash mode the time lag between taking pictures can be as long as 4 seconds..which can be irritating at times, it works fine without the flas mode on. You can take upto 10-12 mins of video with 1 gb card, i was expecting a 1 GB card to take a much longe video....
But overall I would give the camera 8/10
This is in the 640 x 480 mode at 30 fps. (most popular shooting mode)
The movie quality should be at least as good in the A630 as it was in the A620, rather than objects looking like they are moving around and "rolling" the peppermint twist. Otherwise, I would have given this camera 5 stars. This is a lot less of a problem in my A620.
I used to have a Canon G3 before it was stolen. This time I wanted a smaller camera with similar capabilities so I took the plunge with this one.
The autofocus is accurate and fast. You get x4 zoom lens and a flash which charges quickly. You get enough settings to satisfy the serious/learned photographer. For the layman photographer you have preset settings for specific situations (night time, beach scene, underwater... please buy and use the underwater protective case accessory for this setting!) or you can set to auto and shoot. Red eye reduction works everytime for me, very good.
There is also a video mode which I have not gone into much depth but it does record video up to the capacity of the memory card.
Unfortunatly the camera body is made of plastic, not metal like similarly priced rival cameras. Just lacks that extra strength and quality feel like others I have held. The battery flap underneath the camera feels a little flimsy, I am wary when I open it to remove the batteries.
But the most important thing is the quality of the photos! They are excellent. Set the camera to highest quality to allow you to crop the final image as you wish (no need to use the digital zoom really, just crop on your PC).
Canon do not supply you with a power adapter, you do not get a memory card which is adequate (only 32MB, some kind of joke!?!) and you get 4 alkaline AA batteries, which is not enough capacity to power this camera seriously. So, you should get 4 NiMH rechargeables and at least 512MB SD memory card (I got 1GB). So now you can see the realistic cost of this camera goes up! I have not bothered with the AC adapter, images download quickly to the PC or you can use a SD memory card reader meaning the camera need not be powered on while you download.
So, it gets 4 stars due to lack of higher quality materials and accesories. £35 for an AC adapter, pull the other one Canon!
Cons:
1. Slightly larger than the Canon Elph series, although it still fits in my pocket.
2. Shutter can stay open only 15 seconds maximum (I would of liked at least 30 seconds for nighttime exporsures).
3. The provided 32Mb SD memory card is only big enough for about 9 images at full resolution, so you'll want to add a 1 Gig SD memory.
4. You can buy one for less than four hundred dollars (check out some NYC camera stores).
5. The camera does not come with a leather camera case. However, you can purchase the Canon S80 kit to get an extra Li-ion battery, a nice leather camera case, and neckstrap for about US$60.
Pros:
1. Controls are very intuitive.
2. Large LCD makes reading the menus easier, even without my reading glasses.
3. Advanced user manual is straightforward.
4. The ease of reading the large (2.5 inch) LCD makes learning dozens of powerful features much easier than the labryinthinan Fuji FinePix point control system.
5. Downloads via the Canon suite of Ulead Zoombrowser tools is much easier than the earlier versions of Zoombrowser I had used with my other Canon Photoshot digital cameras
6. Althogh I have not purchased a water-tight case for underwater photography yet, Canon makes one and it is reasonably priced (about US$150).
7. The movie mode (640 x 480, 30 frames per second) is handy, especially with a Gig of memory to store long movie clips.
8. The software includes Photostitch 3.1, one of the better tools for creating panoramas.
I takes excellent clear pictures. The color is very true. The exposure is right on. I have tried editing a few photos, and cannot make them any better by editing brightness, contrast,saturation,and color.
Although it has an optical viewfinder, the LCD is bright and clear even in sunlight for composing a shot.
It is on the verge of being too bulky, but Cannon has other smaller models with similar features (at a higher price). I am very happy with this camera and haven't wished I had chosen a different camera.
Not too long ago I purchased a Kodak high end digital camera. It was just OK. I used it mostly on emergency response calls for it was smaller than an SLR and a might more rugged.
Now I chucked the Kodak, I trimmed my Canon collection down to 1 SLR and 2 lenses, and purchased the S80. I'm running a 120X 2 Gig and a 150X 1 gig SD card.
The pros:
The display took my breath away. Large, bright, and clear. The physical size is perfect. It may be just me but I enjoy the programmable sounds. The controls are pretty easy to use (gotta read that manual). Battery life is great. And finally, the image quality is beyond words. Also there are so many built-in ways to manipulate the image. The added bonus of shooting practical video at various resolutions is great (need that large SD card though). Sure, it's not an SLR with many available lenses. And it is 'point & shoot'. But now I'm using it almost exclusively versus my SLR.
The cons:
Wish the package came with more than it did. A neckstrap should have been included. The wrist strap just invites damage and disaster. One very flimsy part is the 'A/V out' door. I just cannot see it remaining attached to the camera beyond a couple of months. The documentation is daunting. The simplified manual is 26 pages. The 'advanced' manual runs 160 pages. I became pretty frustrated with the adavnced manual and its tiny size.
All in all you really get what you pay for. I don't regret it at all. Save your money and bite the bullet and buy this camera. It goes so far beyond many preconceptions of digital point & shoot cameras.
'Snobby purists insist on RAW.'
No, people who understand bit depth and post-processing insist on RAW. If you insist on calling people who are educated and skillful snobby then that's your (sad) business.
'RAW takes hours of work for marginal improvements.'
It does not. It takes seconds or at worst minutes.
'JPEG is better for almost all applications.'
JPG is 'adequate' for almost all applications but it is certainly not better (unless by better you mean more convenient). RAw images are 16 bit and JPGs only 12 bit so again, learn!
Now to my review: the S80 takes marvellous still images. I've used an S70 for over a year (mostly in RAW mode Mr Griffin) including a trip to Japan and it's generally (although not consistently) the equal of my Canon 20D DSLR. The S80 is better than the S70 because of the slightly higher resolution, the digic II processing (faster response) and very importantly the video mode. The S70 has a poor video mode (640 x 480 @ 10fps and only 30 second files) but the S80 blows it away with 640 x 480 @ 30fps or 1024 x 768 @ 15fps! Both the modes are constant up to 1GB or card fill. Now think about this: put a couple of strips of masking tape over the top and bottom of the lcd monitor to give a 16:9 aspect, shoot in the XGA mode and then use Premiere (or whatever) to crop the 4:3 output of the S80 into 16:9. What we have here people is a pocket widescreen camcorder at near broadcast quality(ish... & mono sound... but that's picky).
Unreservedly recommended.
Started to take some pictures (which is what it's meant to do) and I am absolutely blown away by the quality and ease of use of this camera. I'm a bit of a novice with a camera so having just the basics is great...but then you can also make everything completely manual.
In manual mode I could get a crystal clear picture of something that was 1cm away from the lense!!!!
Awesome camera....buy it if you can put up with it being a little bulky and feel a little toy-like!!!!!
I'm disappointed because I do like the photos that the camera takes when it does function properly.
Fortunately, I bought it at Costco, so it's going back.
I would highly recommend this camera. I have had zero problems and love Canon products.
