Quick startup is a big bonus. On my trip earlier this year, I missed many opportunities for good photos with my pal's HP camera, as it took a few seconds to boot, and seconds between photos. The only video I took had to be tossed due to the 15fps blurry quality (and he had no memory card). The digital zoom was horrible, and indoors photos were really crappy - especially at night.
The 30fps movie mode in the A630 is wonderful for a camera of this price - I never use the 15fps mode at all - it's blurry and the picture is 'jumpy,' although if it's done outdoors with good ambient lighting, it seems to work a bit better. I quickly learned to navigate the settings, being a complete novice, but I still need to check the manual on a couple of items that I have no idea about.
Even though it won't fit in my pocket and is heavier than many, the battery life is great. I have the camera over a month now, have taken video, stills with and without flash, deleted and re-shot stuff, and still have not changed the original batteries. If this were my pal's camera, I would have changed batteries after about 8 or so shots. Serious.
I bought a 2GB SD card for it, along with rechargeables and a charger. The only off-key thing I noticed so far is that the images can get pretty grainy on night-time zoomed indoor shots where incandescent (normal) light bulbs are used. As one other reviewer said, I don't know if I have to tinker with the settings to fix this, but that's the only issue I have had.
So basically these things do it for me with this camera:
- Excellent battery life - AA size is easy to get and keep for emergencies
- Excellent video capture with sound
- Quick boot and inter-shot response
- Excellent image quality with little or no blur
- Nice features such as color swap and pre-sets for common situations, apart from manual settings for more advanced users.
- Foldable vari-angle LCD is very very useful - the screen won't get damaged once it's folded in - unlike those with the screen showing at the back. This is great for evaluating your shots, and the quality is pretty good for a small screen.
- Image quality settings allow for maximized space utilization on you SD. (GET a 1-Gig or larger card!)
Drawbacks:
- Some grainy zoomed indoor shots (moreso in nighttime video capture)
- Larger than expected
- Haven't been able to find the correct carrying case up to December 2006! What?!
- Causes me to waste time instead of preparing for my exams! :)
Overall, an easy-to-use, excellent camera, straight out of the box. Would recommend it (and already did - 3 of my coworkers are ordering it, so Canon please organize my cut).
ML.

- Produces good results
- Manual and automatic modes
- Great value for its price
- Small size, light and easy to carry
- Uses AA batteries that are available everywhere
- Takes short movie clips also
- It does not come with a case so I bought Canon PSC-85 Deluxe Soft Case for Canon Powershot A650IS and A720IS
- Also bought a Sandisk 2GB SD card

I have a Canon sd500 that is 7.1 MP same as the TX1 It shoots Videos at 640 that have better quality then that of the TX1 The photos are JUST as good the screen is a whole Inch bigger and the Focus is flawless and right on the money every time. All at Less then Half the cost of the TX1 I would not recomend this product to anyone unless they plan on shooting nothing but outdoor shots in the city with plenty of sunshine.
Simply Not worth the Money..

This camera was highly rated by over 250 reviewers and the major consumer magazine thinks higly of it too.

The only problem I found so far has been that the automatic setting does not take decent pics of children who are active. So, I have to put it on the children setting. Which is not a big deal to me. If you are looking to keep it on one setting all the time and not worry about it, then I suggest looking for another make/model.


This is rich with features, camera-manual probably covers it all but does not make it intuitive, unless you read it 5 times and try to structure the contents in your mind. So, you need to refer to manual often for probably months before you get used to all the features.
The software does NOT seem to support Vista. My laptop does not detect the camera when you hook it up even though it says drivers are loaded. I am having to pull out the memory card and load it directly to my laptop (or use my work laptop with xp on it).
No issues with shipping and the state of the product received.

BUT THE CAMERA I GOT FROM AMAZON IS OPEN< IT WAS NOT PACKED LOOKS LIKE SOME BODY HAS RETURNED IT. I NEVER HEARD THIS FROM ANY BODY THAT AMAZON CAN DO THIS. BUT THAT WAS MY FIRST AND LAST PURCHASE FROM AMAZON. I STOPPED AFTER THAT. SO PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS.


If you know the Canon UI, the SX100 is simply a wonderful refinement of it. Setting anything is almost completely intuitive. now if you do have big hands, the scroll wheel may be a problem, but that's about the only flaw that I could see - and for me, that wasn't even an issue
The downsides would be that there isn't RAW processing - but for a cheap camera, this isn't unexpected. The video doesn't let you zoom as its shooting - for that you'd need the S5, the wide end isn't all that wide, and higher iso isn't all that great (but better than other point and shoots (if you want quality here, you are looking at dSLRs) - and really those are the main downsides - all trade-offs I was willing to make.
At the end of the day, if the iso is less than 200, you'll get great photos. IS makes it easier to take tele photo images that aren't blurred due to camera shake - and it works well. If you are looking for a cheap, good, light point and shoot this may be the one.


My major concern was the batteries: how many should I carry? I started with two Energizer Li batteries, which I get cheaply in bulk at the Sam's Club. After a week of vacation and more than 300 shots on highest resolution/largest size, many taken with flash, I still didn't need to change batteries! This leaves my Canon rechargable battery pack unused and unopened.
"Facial recognition" works great if faces are big enough and subjects are directly facing camera. I use it to see whether anyone's eyes are closed on the picture - it's much faster than usual scrolling and zooming.
Macro mode works great - so much better than in smaller Cannon cameras!
Image stabilization: I did not notice much effect of it, especially with higher zoom, but I didn't test it specifically.
To me, this camera is a great transition from the credit card-sized point-and-shoot-and-email-it cameras to something different, which might eventually help me to make prints worth hanging on the wall.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants an affordable camera without the problems of complicated technology to master.


Cons. In low light, the performance is limited, just like any powershot-range camera. Because of densely packed pixels on the sensor, any ISO over 200/400 is unusable. This also limits your zoom at low light, you will need to keep it steady for long exposures. If you plan taking loads of shots in low light consider something else (may be the long-promised Panasonic G1?).

I like the large 2.5 LCD display which makes composing and viewing results so much more enjoyable. The video quality is amazing, yes even for indoor shows. I also like the zoom control position conveniently right next to the shutter but it could be more accurate. I think the amazing attractive price point makes it truly a compelling buy. The only aspect that I don't like is the part that everyone else has pointed out, that is, the memory card is in the battery compartment now. That is just a warp design, so I have to resort to transfering pictures using the provided USB cable instead of taking out the memory card. Canon deserves to get ding on that point, but it's not too burdensome to use the cable instead.
Overall, I am very happy with the camera and will definitely recommend it.



This camera takes great pictures- the flash response time coming back for the next picture is slower than I would have liked, but the quality of the pictures and the large viewing screen make up the difference. My powershot S3IS takes great pictures also- even in the dark without flash.
I would recomend this camera to anyone.

I highly recommend this camera!
