I wasn't sure I could get used to a camera without a viewfinder. But I am, and I love this little Canon. The 10x zoom is great for the small-ish size of the camera.
I've been using a bigger size digital with a zoom lens attached, and I wanted a small camera that I could just throw in my purse. I didn't expect the quality of the photos to be as good as they are. I never thought I would use the video feature, but the other day when we had a little snow flurry (it never snows here), I turned on the video feature when driving down the road (my husband was doing the driving, I was using the camera) and caught a great video of the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen and it was beautiful! This Canon is so much fun!!

This camera is very user friendly. It comes with 2GB of memory which really is not enough, however, the ease of use and great features make up for the memory shortage. It is so easy to upgrade the memory card. The pictures are crisp and clean.

My wife and I received a Nikon SuperZoom 5MP camera for our wedding almost 3 years ago. While it is a great camera, it was too large to be convenient as it required a separate case and was not easy to throw into a purse or backpack. Due to this size limitation, we rarely had the camera to capture candid moments and general activities.
We also wanted a camera that ran on standard batteries if necessary. Our old camera ran on a rechargable lithium-ion, but when we went on vacation this summer my wife forgot to pack the charger. We burned through the battery in the first 2 days and had to resort to disposable cameras for the remainder of our trip.
After reading a number of reviews and hearing a few people mention their happiness, it was clear we wanted a Canon. Canon makes 2 different lines of "point-n-shoot" cameras, the SD line and A. Both received high reviews and we could have gone either way. I decided to purchase the A610 because it appeared to be a sweet spot for the number of megapixels (8), optical zoom (4x) and price. We took it on vacation over the holidays and took a number of quality shots, ranging from close-up portraits to large scene landscapes. I used the PhotoStitch feature to grab 5 shots of the desert landscape around Scottsdale, AZ and used the included software to tie it together into a great-looking wide angle shot. I hope to get the photo printed professionally because it came out too large for my home photo printer. I also liked how the LCD screen automatically rotates when shooting in landscape or portrait mode. The controls were very intuitive and easy to use. The standard SD card slot is a plus as my laptop also accepts SD, thereby allowing me to use my laptop as a transfer device and not require carrying multiple cards. A 1GB disk is certainly big enough for 1 day of photos, and if it is full, I can easily empty it onto my laptop.
All in all, the Canon A610 is a great looking, feeling and photo-producing camera.

First let me say, that this was my third Canon Powershot Digital camera in 3 years, and in general, I prefer Canon above all other brands in terms of the quality of their cameras, and the photos I've been able to take with them. While the camera worked great in Automatic mode, I'm the kind of person who likes to experiment a little with photography, and the Program mode has been a great feature for me in the past. I just returned this camera due to dissatisfaction with a feature in Program mode that I particularly like to use, Center Spot metering (focusing at a point in the very center, and then framing the picture). In my other Canon Powershots, the A40 in particular, if I selected this feature, it would always work without issues, focusing on the center spot of the image. But with my A540, only about 40% of the time did the center spot focus, normally other ajacent areas would be focussed. I contacted Canon Customer support, explained my problem, and the technician insisted that the camera should focus on the center as instructed all of the time, and that perhaps mine was defective. I share this here in case others find the same trouble, so that you can return/exchange your camera while your receipt is still valid. Many may never need to consider this if you just like the Automatic modes, for the Canon A540 is an excellent buy. Good luck!
UPDATE 11 Feb 2007
I have to apologize for an error, and admit that due to ignorance I confused the Metering settings with the Auto Focus Settings. I received an email reply from Canon indicating how to fix my problem. Here it goes: "...Please disable AiAF by pressing MENU, going to the RECORD tab, selecting AiAF and selecting OFF. This will allow you to only use the center focus point."
In short, I was mistaken, and now I wish I had not returned the camera. But then again, I get another chance to catch another sale! Sorry if I confused anyone out there! Good luck!

I was pleased to get a good price for this battery. Unfortunately, I never received the item. Worse of all is that I needed this battery for an upcoming vacation. Since it never arrived I had to buy a disposable camera while on vacation when my current battery ran out. If you want a cheap price go ahead and order but don't put too much trust in it arriving.

Purchased this camera for my Daughter and she wanted something that was not really hard to operate. She has related back to me that she loves the camera and having a great time with it. From what she has said would be a great camera for anyone just starting with a digital camera.

I was attracted to this camera as a new version of the A460, which was highly rated by PC World. It is indeed very simple to use with a large LCD display, much greater resolution than the A70 I bought five years ago, and uses a 2 GB memory chip. The drawback is that the camera has no view finder. You take a picture by looking at it in the LCD display. That works fine indoors, but outdoors the daylight washes out the display so that framing a picture is almost guesswork.Canon PowerShot A470 7MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Red)

I wanted a camera that would allow me to have an extended focal without spending a lot of money and the 10X power of the Powershot SX100 allows me to do that.

I read all sorts of photography blogs and camera review sights before chosing and definitely made the right decision - great value, and takes really fabulous pictures! If you are looking for a point-and-shoot that has a little bit more capability that you can play with, this is definitely the camera for you!!

I sold my Sanyo Xcati HD2 to purchase the Canon TX1 because of its size and optical stabilizer. Many people complaint about its ergonomic design and hard to hold but I have no problem with it (I have smaller hands than most people). Other HD camcorders may have much better picture quality but I'm happy with that of the TX1. Of course you have to give up something to gain something else. Now I can have an HD camcorder & still camera with me anywhere I go and people wouldn't even know. The only complaint I have is its lack of an auto on feature. On my old Sanyo HD2, I simply flip the screen out and the camera is automatically turned on. On the TX1, I have to flip the screen and press the power button to turn the device on (but this is only a minor thing). I'm happy with this camcorder now until Canon comes out with a 1080i/p camcorder with the same size.

I was completely satisified with the performance and abilities of my Canon PowerShot A620 from the day I opened the box. Unlike some users, I had no trouble downloading pics from the camera using Canon's
"Camera Window" software (for Windows and Macs). But I have a Mac - perhaps there's some problem with the for-Windows version.
After 4 months, I purchased a "virtual twin" A610 (6 megapixel instead of 7.1) for my daughter - her first digital camera. We've both been very pleased at the quality of pictures and the ease of getting good photographic results. I took very good care of my camera, I loved it so much!
Cons: excellent battery life with NiMha rechargeables, 3072 x 2304 image size produces excellent poster sized prints (and down to wallet size). Amazing macro focus - can produce pictures of honey bees which appear to be the size of chickens.
Drawbacks were minor: only 4x zoom and the flash is a bit small (but causes little red eye and that easily corrected). And - all digital point & shoot cameras seem too vulnerable to rain, a common condition in most climates. Putting them in an expensive waterproof case reduces portability and hampers picture taking and functions like the microphone. (Otherwise - videos have almost startling sound quality from the tiny, built-in design mic.)
Until, that is, my A620 suddenly gave out a loud scream and displayed "E18" on the LCD viewscreen. The lens barrel had jammed when I turned the camera on; this caused the drive motor to strip the gears which extend and retract the lens barrel. This happened after 3,000 pics, a few dozen (very good) video clips and 7 months and 7 days of frequent (trouble free) use. I had "thought" I'd heard some tell-tale gear noises before the breakdown, but the sound difference was slight and I thought I might be imagining it.
Investigation on the web revealed this problem (known as the E18 error) has been around long enough that a class action suit has been filed against Canon because of it. Right now, I've sent in my camera to Canon and I'm waiting to hear from them. They have a very good "support" web page and responded within a few hours via email, giving detailed instructions for returning the camera and what to expect in terms of waiting period, etc.
Would I buy another Canon PowerShot? Yes - within hours of the breakdown, I had researched their PowerShot S3-1S, 6 megapixel and picked one up locally. The S3 is a definite upgrade from the A620: 12 x zoom, great "image stabilizer" and much sturdier construction (along with another 8 oz weight).
I plan to continue using the A620 once its repaired because its handy to carry around (I use a belt-mounted carrying case). But though I believe the A6*0 series is a lemon, Canon produces many fine models besides those. I'm just sorry I bought my daughter the "little brother" (A610) because now we know it is likely to breakdown too.

Camera takes good pictures as long as you stick with low ISO settings. Even though you can set ISO up to 1600, for all practical performances 400 is the limit. The photos taken at high ISO are so noisy that they are unacceptable. If you don't take a lot of pictures indoors this won't matter much, but I take a lot indoors and in environments like gym, theater etc and I often prefer high ISO with natural light to flash.

definitely not as sleek and sexy as some of the more expensive canon cameras, but I suspect the quality of the images is exactly the same and it's very easy to use but still has a lot of great manual controls. The manual focus isn't that refined but it's nice that at least it's an option. Low light and long exposure images are pretty noisy, but that's to be expected.

I owned a Canon PowerShot A610 and it turned a black screen on me after two years of use. Other buyers also had the same problem with A610. It may happen to A630 too. You are probably happy too early. It is not a good value because the A610 is really a disposable camera disguised as a good value buy. This can be true for A630 again.

This is a great small, portable camera. If you are looking to do high end work, you might want to look at the SLRs. For everyday snapshots and photos this is more than suitable. For a carry in your pocket camera, this can't be beat. I bought one for my personal use, then two more for work. At work they get used by many people to photograph construction activities (generally not treated very gently) and have held up very well. Considerations for buying this:
1. Good price.
2. Uses AA batteries, so you aren't stuck with expensive proprietary batteries and you can always find replacements. I use rechargable NiMH and they last a long time (deplete faster if you use the screen and flash).
3. Uses low-cost SD card. Sony and Fuji use higher cost Memory Stick or XD. I use 2GB Kingston cards, which cost about $40 each. Holds over 1000 photos at max resolution.
4. The screen on the back is the right size. The later models have a bigger screen, but you lose the space in the button area. This model has a good combination of a readable screen and buttons that you can push wearing gloves.
5. 4X optical zoom is a plus.
6. Comfortable grip. One hand only works fine.
All these small cameras have weak flashes. Don't expect more than about a twelve foot range. For low light shooting, I set to multiple shot mode at 1 second increments. Then it shoots itself with no wobbling from the finger pushing the button.
5MP max resolution will get you great 10x12 prints, and decent larger prints. Anything smaller is excellent.
This camera takes great outdoor pics, with good color and resolution. I don't have to do much (if any) photoshopping on those.
The included shooting modes are useful. I use night a lot and it improves the photos.
The little Canon carry case is well worth the $10. The camera fits right in and is well protected.
My daughter has had the older A510 at college and it has worked great for her as well.

I have this camera for weeks and I am happy with picture quality. This camera only print date on picture at postcard option (2MP)but not on large size. If you use canon printer, you may have option to print date. But who is going to print all digital photos with your own printer. My wife wants date print on pictures and finally I found a picture software that can add date on pictures. Thanks to smart people who create this software.

I bought this camera as a birthday present for my 72 year old sister and gave her to it on our trip to Vegas. She said she wanted a really dumbed-down camera that was as easy to use as a cardboard disposable so she could just "take pictures" and not screw with buttons and adjustments. In the auto mode it does just that and takes superb pictures to boot. It will freeze the water in the fountains at the Bellagio, adjust for the very difficult lighting at the Masquerade Show in the Sky at the Rio and take night-time shots of the strip all crystal clear and with accurate color rendition. I had my much more expensive digital camera with me and found myself wanting to use the Cannon most of the time. The only problem we had with it was fighting over who was going to use it. Great deal for the money and if pushed to say something negative it would the weight and size being just a bit unwieldy.

I really had a hard time deciding which camera to buy. I love this camera. It is small enough to carry around and takes amazing pictures. I haven't used the full 8 mp yet due to the large amount of pixels. I have the camera set for 5mp and the pictures are great. I haven't had time to read up on the additional features yet and have only used the camera in auto mode so far. I am looking forward to trying some of the other features though. The zoom was what I was really after with a new camera, and this one is awsome.

I use both this and the A650 IS at my work. Although this is a very good camera, it does not compare to the better capabilities of the newer A650. Especially when it comes to the prices I'm seeing here (keep in mind that the A650 is going for under $300). I mean it's laughable when you just know that the A630 is inevitably destined to show up on ebay someday for $10-20.
