Cannon guys -- don't be like the restaurant which cuts the prices 33% but halves the portions. Or the airlines that charge you for baggage. BE A MAN, CANNON. Charge me ten bucks more and give me a mem card that can hold more than a couple pics!
Rant over. It's a fine camera!

I have a same comments as Flaming June. The inside shots were for most of them grainy, on various settings. Also it doesn't have shake control. Lower and cheaper models have it.
I also have problems with the flash. Occasionally when I forced flash on, it wouldn't take pictures. Annoying to miss some good shots. The quality of the photos is very good for a P&S, but the top left gets way too blurry. It's fine if there is a non detailed background (ie sky) but it's a disappointment for the rest. The Canon software is good, including the stitching, but I generally end up using Photoshop.
My next camera will have a swivel screen, but that won't be a Canon.

It's light and relatively small. I do however, like the way it fits in your hand. It makes it easy to take one-handed photos. The features I like most about this camera, are the manual functions. I have an OK amount of photography knowledge and being able to adjust the aperture, shutter speed and flash is impressive. The Macro setting surprisingly takes very good quality close-up images.
You can also buy HD and wide-angle lenses for this camera, which ranks it above most point-and-shoot cameras. This is a great product, I would definitely recommend it!


The Canon A630 is an excellent point-and-show. The image quality is nearly identical to my Rebel XT (except for low light situations and flash recovery speed).
I had to keep reminding myself this is NOT a Rebel XT (in size, speed, price, bulk, and low light situations). It is a $299 vs. $899 list camera for TOTALLY different purposes.
The swiveling lens is great for off-angle shots (e.g. over head, around corner in tight situation like an aircraft carrier deck, etc.). The 4X zoom is nice; I like 12X, but 4X is perfect for most folks.
The movie mode (640x480 at 30 fps) is very nice too - it still have some artifacts compared to a true video camera, but adequate quality for short clips. I used it for New Year's fireworks in Oahu, Hawaii and the video is pretty good with some artifacts in the dark sky areas. It beats having to carry two cameras.
The menus are very handy - selecting BW or Sepia instantly changes the view finder to show exactly how it looks.
Use of anything beyond ISO 80 is recommended only as last resort. The image noise levels are noticeable and at 400 and beyond, I consider it very bad. If you need the shot, use it, but don't expect good image quality.
I also bought the DC8 underwater housing for snorkeling in Oahu's Hanauma Bay - it allows total control of the camera from power on to ALL features and modes. The pictures I took were fantastic. It would be nice to get an underwater housing for the Rebel XT, but at $900 vs. $199 for the DC8 housing, the A630/DC8 combination is an excellent value with great underwater capability. The flash seemed to work very well underwater (unlike my Pentax Optio s4i - too much debris reflected back into the lens assembly with weird flares). The A630/DC8 underwater performance was beyond my expectations.
Make sure to switch to 'fish' mode to compensate for blueness of underwater.
The 4xAA battery capability is compatible with my battery stash. The SD cards need to be selected carefully. An 8 Mpixel camera can comfortably use a 2GB SD card. However, if you get a 4 or 8 GB card, you MUST get an SD HC-compliant card - the non-SD HC cards do NOT work. I bought/returned a Pretec 4 GB SD card - it was not SD HC-compliant and simply did not work. Canon's website says the A630/A640 are SD HC-compliant and the cards are available, but rather expensive. I made do with 2x2GB cards, but that may be a limitation underwater (as you can't easily change cards on the beach without getting sand/water in the camera). My snorkel outing did just fine with 2 GB card for 2 hours of snorkeling.
Highly recommended. If you like to crop your pictures, I assume the A640 (10 Mpixel) may be better, but the street price is about $100 more. It isn't worth it if you simply 'point-and-shoot' with zero post-processing.
END

Consumer reports rated it tops in picture quality and that is no lie. I almost feel embarrassed for all the nikon coolpix owners in my family. It's a little on the slow side, but the copious options (allowing you almost the flexibility of an SLR), flexible LCD, and overall picture quality more than make up for it. Consumer reports has just named the PowerShot A650 to the top of the heap so I already know what I'll be getting to replace this one should I ever be forced to.
Oh, it's pretty tough too. It's been on numerous trips, hiking and otherwise, and taken a few trips to the floor... the hard way.



I received this camera at the weekend and am thrilled with it. Good size display, & good results. Particularly like the weight - no problem with "camera shake". Easy to use, review and delete. Perfect for the stuff I take!




This camera is actually an equal quality wise to the DSLR Canon I have except for the lack of additional interchangeable lenses, which are not an expected advantage for point and shoot cameras. The range of available features cannot be equaled anywhere near this fantastic price.

Only problem (which may be so with all point and shoots) is the shutter delay gives him time to move, making it hard to catch him at just the right moment.

They are tough little cameras that take lovely pictures. They can be adjusted a bit if you are into that and the video function as been huge entertainment. Compact enough for cargo pockets and purses, big enough to hold on to. A little zoom lens and a built in flash make it versitile. Uses rechargable AA's and a common memory card (SD) making it practical. All in an affordable package. It is not a DSLR, but it will be there and be able to get a nice shot.

I raise butterflies and it's taken beautifuly detailed pictures.I can take consecutive picture quickly without flash.
I like the fact that I can use AA bateries and recharge them quickly.It does seem to drain them faster than my previous camera but I just carry spares.
The first day I played with all the settings. You can make the settings as easy or as complicated as you like. I love depth and detail and I got both with this camera.
Zoom is quality too.It can go up 16x and still be clear.The anti-shake works well with this setting. I took picture from the lawn section at a concert and friends could believe the clairity, down to facial expressions.
The concern over lense jam can be eliminated by keeping the camera set on picture review before shutting off. This way if the camera on/off button is accidentialy pressed the lens will not extend and become jammed.
Overall I highly recommend this camera. It can't be beat for the price.

I like this camera and I'm pleased at how it works a feels. For the price, it is, by far the best deal out there.
