I got a nice small camera case and my son has taken great care of this camera. He used it on our recent vacation and he took great pictures. Have created a web site to share his unique outlook on life.
This is a good camera with minimal options, but with great picture quality. The color options were fun for the kid to pick out as well.



There are other cameras that might meet the expectations, but they will cost between $40 to $80 more.
I have taken over a thousand shots with the camera in various conditions and I must say that I am very impressed. The lens is so bright that I have taken almost all indoor shots without flash. The 10x optical zoom enables me to take more creative shots. The image quality of the shots are also very good, of course it is not comparable with DSLRs with larger sensors.
For the price of this camera, you cannot get a better deal any where else.
Highly recommended.




Having used it for about a month, here are my likes and dislikes.
Dislikes:
The quality of the digital zoom is not really up to much.
Some of the menus can take a while to get used to.
As can the buttons which have multi-functions.
The lack of RAW format for files.
The continuous frame mode could be faster.
Auto-ISO mode can lead to some lower quality images in low light.
Manual focus can be fiddly.
Preview mode can be fiddly, relying on the lens zoom button to zoom in on previews.
Likes:
It takes 4xAA batteries which can be picked up anywhere at low cost.
10MP which compared to my old G1 is a revelation.
Fast lens for a camera of this class, with a good zoom range 35 -140mm.
Excellent macro features.
Fast start up and shut down.
Enough flexibility to be creative in aperture or shutter mode, or let the camera do the work in the many assisted modes.
Spot metering.
Good fold out screen.
The fact that there is also an optical viewfinder for quick shots when you have folded away the lcd screen.
Good software for Mac and PC.
Good manuals - but why are there four of them in different languages.
This is a great camera, that is small enough to be with you at all times but is cheap enough that you do not have to feel precious about it. No need to lug large photo bags with spare lenses, flash guns, filters etc. you can get great shots with this excellent compact. I have used it on PhotoShop on Macs and PCs printing to professional quality Canon ImagePress C1s and both colour reliability and image quality are very impressive for a sub £200 camera.

Pros
-Movable LCD which makes self-portraits easy
-Good zoom (digital zoom looks bad in LCD, but if image is focused the picture turns out fine)
-MANY manual options which are quite fun to play with (eg. shutter speed as slow as 15 sec. which can make a shot at night look like one taken during the afternoon, drive feature which takes about three pictures per second as long as the shutter button is depressed in this mode)
-Easy to use Auto functions
-Video editing feature on camera when in playback mode
-The four batteries last very long
-Sensor which detects when you move the camera, allowing LCD to go to a standby mode which will turn back on once camera is moved again (saves battery power)
-Many, many other features
Cons
-Slow zoom on video mode
-Only digital zoom on video mode; low quality video when zoomed in a lot (but good quality when zoomed out all the way)
-High quality pictures (actually a pro, but makes emailing pics as attachments limited because of the 8 MegaPixels)
This camera has lasted me half a year so far and has done nothing but satisfy me while I've owned it. I would DEFINITELY recommend the Powershot A630 to anyone who wants an awesome camera.

I'm going to try the canon rechargeable batteries, people seem to like them. It just seems nuts that this camera consumes so much power, but didn't come with a rechargeable, professional grade, battery pack.
(remember that we bought this thing for snapshots AND artful composed shots, and it performs those duties very well.)




The cost is phenomenal.

I bought two of them for gradution presents wonderful gift to give your grad.this year...... now I'am ordering one for my self..... I like it so much....




The WP-DC8 allows full operation of the A630/A640. One quirk I do not understand is the optical viewfinder is misaligned with a plastic lever - the lever has a hole, but doesn't allow use of the optical viewfinder while underwater. The WP-DC8, like the Pentax OP-WP2, is hard to use the LCD underwater as the glare from the water surface (snorkeling; diving may be better) makes it hard to see the image. The optical view finder is also useless; your best bet is to practice 'point-and-shoot' on dry land prior to going underwater.
The WP-DC8 housing is huge and can be bulky for other uses (e.g. surfing, etc.). I use the much smaller Pentax OP-WP2 (see my Amazon review on this one) for surfing as the WP-DC8 would be far too cumbersome.
This WP-DC8 housing is also going to be used in harsh environments such as open sea boat uses (salt spray nearly destroyed my wife's unprotected Minolta F100), dirt environments (e.g. Moab, Utah), and muddy areas (Hawaii ranch ATV tours). It is of high-quality construction, although the Canon WP-DC8 has plastic buttons while my Pentax OP-WP2 has stainless steel buttons; functionally and durability-wise, it's OK, but seems slightly delicate. Time will tell on this one.
The ability to take high-quality 8 Mpixel photos underwater for the price of a $199 housing is very nice. I could not afford to spend $800 for my Canon Rebel XT underwater housing, so the A630/WP-DC8 combination provides most of that advantage at a much lower price.
Operational notes:
Make sure you select 'fish' mode when using underwater. If you change back and forth to movie and still mode, you must reset back to 'fish' mode. Movies work pretty well; highly recommended. Flash is not too bad; I got some good photos with unfiltered flash; the Pentax OP-WP2 tends to get weird image flares reflected back into the lens assembly.
Also, if the camera seems to be locked up, make sure the 'display vs. camera mode' switch is in 'camera mode' - it can be confusing when you're snorkeling/diving.
Since the batteries last longer than a 2 GB card, you may want to consider a 4GB or larger SD HC card (since changing the batteries or memory card is not recommended on the beach or on the water surface).
