The zoom is excellent 4x it's a bit poor on memory but you can buy more quite cheep. It runs on butteries which help when you are up and about with the camera. A must have for the out door mobile enthusiasts.
I guess for someone who just wants to have fun with a digital camera and doesn't care too much about color accuracy this is probably a nice little camera. But when it comes to needing a camera that actually does reproduce colors and has a real macro, it's the old saying you get what you pay for.
Sony Cybershot DSC-T100 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot (Red)
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!!
Also great valve with being just over $100!!!
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.
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!
"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.
