I was stunned at the features packed into this camera. While indeed larger than Canon's popular Elph line of cameras, the A620 is not the tank it appears in the photograph. In giving up the slim design, the user gets total customizability. Whereas minicameras, such as the Elphs, offer simplicity in their "point-and-shoot" design, the A620 goes a step further.
Now, I must stress that this camera absolutely has point-and-shoot usability. In fact, the speed at which the thing powers up very much impressed me: from touching the power button, I can comfortably move my finger to the shutter, depress it, and the photo is taken. No more missed shots waited for the camera to turn on!
So the A620 does all the slimmer models do, just in a slightly wider package. The benefits, however, are great: 4 AA batteries means greater power and longer life; manual adjustment of settings, such as shutter speed, aperture value, and focus depth; fold-out LCD screen, useful for odd camera angles, such as shots low to the ground (also means the LCD can be protected when camera is not in use; very handy to me, as I bought the A620 to replace my old digital camera, whose screen had cracked while in my backpack!); 4x zoom rather than 3x, means you'll be doing less cropping to get the shot you want--and remember that in digital photography, cropping means a loss of quality.
If those facts aren't enough to convince you to accept an extra half inch or so of casing, maybe the camera isn't for you. I for one bought it because it was cheaper than the comparable--and also because it's not quite as girlie. ;) After having it only a week, I was already experimenting with the different manual settings, and found myself able to execute shots simply not possible from using the point-and-shoot setting, such as focusing on obscure part of the picture, or placing the camera on a tripod and taking a picture of the night sky with the shutter left open for 15 seconds. Beautiful!
Couldn't be more impressed with this model. Don't buy something simpler and limit yourself!
One more piece of advice: I bought the cheapest 1GB card available, about $10 or $15, and it works splendidly with this camera. It's fast as heck, too--so don't be conned into paying $80 for some "X-treme Sp33d" card.

I Preordered my little new camera...I received it a week earlier than scheduled delivery. As it came out of the box I was surprised to be a little bulkier than my other SD1000 but that something that doesn't bother me a bit. I can carry it on my hand not my pocket.
Why did I buy it? because I wanted something compact and reliable, the amazing 10x optical zoom, and with video capabilities larger, longer, and better quality than the 3 minutes clips of my old camera. also easy compatibility with my mac laptop. the pictures are crips and colorful, I guess depends where you point the camera at. Video quality is superb, not HD though and the only low down it's very noisy at low light levels but I'm not using it for broadcast. for that I got to use the SNHVRZ1-J HD cam. Also the audio is fantastic, got some really good sound from a considerable distance at a concert.
Battery life. As expected, 1 hour for HD video and 4 hours for stills. buy a back up if you expect to shoot for more than 1 hour of video without having to turn it off.
Memory card. I got the 4 GB memory card.. definitely enough for the time I need to use it, I got a second card as a back up.
Overal, a great compact camera, I love it, even with the cons the pros outweight any doubt about it
coudn't have made a better choice.

I bought this camera to replace a cheapie 2 MP camera. The Canon A630 is a great camera! Lots of features, some of which I am still trying to learn after 3 months. What decided me on this one is the LCD which can be flipped and oriented at will. For one, by rotating the screen 180 degrees I can take photos of ourselves while seeing the photo-to-be. And it is also very useful when taking photos at odd angles, for example at ground level, without having to twist myself into a pretzel. Of course, the manual has been written by an engineer: for example, it states how to do something but never explains why you would want to do it in the first place, and the benefits of doing it. Obviously somebody has assumed that all those features are well known by the user and certainly do not need expounding on. Ergo, a lot of experiments are necessary to figure things out.

The user-friendly site allowed me to purchase a last minute digital camera at a great price ($99) in literally two clicks. The camera arrived the very next day. I was stunned. The camera has many options and modes and neat little tools. Reading its manual is a must though.

I got this camera for Xmas 2007. I love the simplicity of it. I am a point and shoot kind of picture taker. But it has a huge menu for those who want to have more control. I particularly like the 30X optical zoom. I take a lot of photos of grandchildren and am able to be out of the way but still get a great close-up.
My only "con" is the fact that it does not have a view finder. I like the stability of resting the camera against my cheek. All pics are composed using the digital window, though I must say this is a good size and with the face recognition feature is easy to use.

My last Canon PowerShot was wore out. I received this A590IS quickly from Amazon vendor. New camera is lighter than my A70 because it only uses two batteries not four. Smaller card for pictures.

I received an A620 as a Christmas present. Compared to the Olympus C-4000Z which I've used previously, the most striking difference is that the A620 is so fast and easy to control.
It takes only a few clicks of the arrow buttons on the back of the camera to set up everything from custom white balance to shutter delay. I haven't yet found controls for saturation and sharpness, but I don't think I'll need them.
The movie mode is very nice, at 640x480 and 30fps. The results look just as sharp as those from my Sony Digital-8 camcorder, though of course the A620 won't let you use the optical zoom while recording. The audio does seem to pick up a hum from the camera itself.
The camera's sensor resolution is about 7MP, and the optics must be good: 5x7" prints (from a Canon i960) show excellent detail. I haven't yet tried printing at 8x10.
I've yearned for a digital camera which would produce the levels of shadow detail one sees in an Ansel Adams print -- the kind of detail that draws the viewer in ever closer until his or her nose is almost on the paper. I'm just getting started with the A620, but for small prints and low ISO settings it looks like it could do the trick!
The A620 uses AA batteries. Pick up a set of NiMH batteries and a recharger (the camera comes with 4 Panasonic alkaline batteries) and you'll be all set.
I'm not sure how quickly the batteries drain. So far I've gotten nearly 100 photos and a couple of minutes of video from a set of 2000 mAh Radio Shack NiMH batteries, charged once.
The camera comes with a 32MB SD card. You can't get very many high-resolution photos on such a tiny card. (And I think you could fill it with less than 30 seconds of video.) I bought a 512MB SD card, which should have room for about 150 photos. I'm not sure how much Motion-JPEG video it will hold.
The included USB cable works without a hitch. The A620 supports USB 2.0, so it transfers photos and movies quickly. However, the plastic door which covers the camera's USB port is flimsy, and it interferes with the camera's wrist strap. A separate USB 2.0 SD card reader would probably be more durable.
A lens adapter and accessory telephoto and wide-angle lenses are available for the A620. I've ordered the lens adapter and a 58 mm rubber lens hood, which I hope will let me take glare-free photos through the side window of my airplane. The adapter is threaded, so it should also accept polarizing filters.
The A620 will fit in a coat or vest pocket. It will even fit in a shirt pocket, but it'll cause a significant bulge -- and a sag: it's pretty heavy :) If you want a pocket camera you might want to consider another model/brand.
This was a gift, but I think it's amazing that you can get so much camera for less than $400.
Cons: small included SD card, flimsy USB adapter cover, some audio hum in movies, may be too large for some tastes.
Pros: fast, easy to control, sharp focus, great detail, good movie quality, AA batteries, lens accessories, great price.

I am mom to three kids ages 2 to 9. I have kept a Canon Elph in my purse for years. That was great because I could catch important and cute moments wherever we were when they occurred. The TX-1 is like someone threw a video camera in my digital camera that I keep in my purse!
I read reviews before I purchased the product. Some man said that the little controls were difficult and didn't understand why they just didn't make a bigger camera. I'm pretty sure this has to do with the size of his hands. The controls aren't too tricky for me. I have also heard criticism of where the buttons are located. The on/off is located far from the other controls. That's actually good--I sometimes turned my Elph off instead of pushing the shutter and now that isn't an issue. I like where the buttons are located. I can take a still photo, press Rec, zoom and switch modes with one hand!
One last criticism I don't feel is a problem: there is no red-eye reduction flash setting. I don't like that setting anyway because the subjects would have to sit staring at the camera which never makes for a good shot. The TX-1 includes in-camera red-eye removal which is far superior. It's so fun to push the button and watch the red-eye disappear!
Bottom line--
Practical for mommies!

This neat little camera that takes superb video arrived with a malfuctioning scroll wheel. In the shoot mode menu, if I pushed the up arrow button the cursor went down and if I pushed the left arrow button it went right. This did not happen in the playback mode. The Canon representative suggested I return the camera. I cosidered making an exchange but I decided not to because of the difficulty I had operating the scroll wheel . The scroll wheel arrows buttons were hard to activate because they are so small and once they did activate the cursor it would often jump 2 or 3 spaces instead of just one. I found I had to reverse the direction of the cursor frequently. This was particularly annoying when trying to manually operated slide show on my TV. I suspect I could have learned to minimze this problem with further practice. The HD movies were superb even in low light. However a large amount of space was needed to store HD movies on my media card and computer. In 8 minutes of shooting video clips, I used up the meory on a 2 GB card. I was hoping my experience would be better but it wasn't so I think I will wait for the next generation of the TX-1. It has great potential after Canon fixes some of the problems I mentioned.

I was hoping for a complete package of a camera when I ordered the Canon SX100IS. The good points are that it has maintained much of the same features and menu options as the Canon Powershot cameras. The 10x zoom is absolutely fantastic. It is a significant improvement from my other point and shoot cameras (Canon A95 and Canon SD600). The picture quality is also very good - excellent color and very crisp.
Unfortunately, the camera has a very slow flash cycle time (upwards of 10 seconds). This is so annoying that I find myself pulling out my old A95 and SD600 for indoor photos. What a shame as this camera takes such great photos!

If you are a novice photographer, you will probably not notice the oddities with this camera. In many cases, the photos are overexposed on sunny days. Underwater photography (in underwater housing) is so-so. It does pretty well in low light conditions (after manually setting the ISO really high). The nifty little shutter on the front started to stick upon opening after owning it for 4 months (I keep it in a case, so this is definitely a mechanical design flaw). Movies are of good quality. Gets good life out of rechargeable batteries. I'd only buy it again if I couldn't find another camera with this many features that took no more than 2 AA batteries.

The case protects the camera while in my purse quite well. The battery charger came in handy by the second day when the batteries that came with my camera ran out. The batteries recharge within a few hours and with twice as many as needed by my camera I can always take photos.

This is a great little camera. I take mainly stills but I wanted to have the option of video as well. A friend of mine showed me her TX-1 and it was one of those "Gotta get one" moments. I couldn't be happier with the overall quality of it. It is a bit intimidating at first but Canon did a great job with the user manuals. I had it down in pretty short order.
It is a great size for slipping it in your pocket as well. That being said, it did take a little bit of time for me to find a comfortable way to hold it due to the small size. After using it for a while there is no longer a problem. You will definately want to use the wrist strap to avoid any accidential drops from larger hands.
Be sure to get at least a 1 gig memory card, as the one supplied gets eaten up pretty fast in the video mode. A spare battery is also a good idea.

Great camera. Low light photos are not as bad as specs and prof. reviews have made it out to be; they are actually pretty good, considering the price range and portability of this camera. Love the battery option, since i plan on taking this hiking and on camping trips, where i wont be close to a power outlet or adapter. Every time i take some shots I remember how much I paid with a smile, feeling i got every pennies worth out of this thing.

I went for this camara for the zoom and the price and so far I have been very happy with both. The zoom allows me to get pictures that I couldn't get with my old digital with 3x. The picture quality looks great and even amazes me on the LCD. I was already familuar with the other features because a friend of mine already owns a Canon. Being able to play with his camara and see the stitch mode and the video mode made me jump on the sx100. I knew that my friend's Canon would not allow you to zoom out during movie mode so I was very impressed when I was able to both zoom in and out when taking video on the sx100. This camara will serve me well with a new child on the way.

The camera takes exceptionally good and clear pictures. The 10X zoom comes in very handy. The camera feels sturdy and I havent had any problems with the scroll wheel, which i have read about in some other reviews of the product. But night time photography reduces the shot-to-shot time horrendously. Its highly frustrating when u want to take a few quick shots and you end up waiting for ages. I found the flash range to be a bit less. I havent used any other megazoom, so I cannot compare. If a high optical zoom isnt your top priority, you might wanna consider other models, otherwise, its a good camera overall.

although I am a newcomer to this whole digital picture age, I find this camera to take exceptional pictures in any lighting. I've only had it for a short period of time but I have taken night shots, portrait shots with the timer, and candid shots and found it to have excellent quality. In the past I have only been a point and shoot kind of person but intend to find out more about picture taking now that I've gone digital. I love the size. I find the smaller cameras hard to hold on to and would be afraid to drop them. This one fits my grip just perfect. I would definitely recommend this camera to the expert picture taker as well as the beginner.

This is a nice camera but I would have never bought it had I not dropped my Powershot A80 on the driveway. This new camera does take nice pictures but I think the "Auto" setting is not nearly as good as what my A80 had. When I don't feel like using the manual settings I more often get disappointed with the picture. Mainly they look washed out and drab. The A80 did a much better job when you want to be lazy.
I will say I have some very nice pictures with this camera when using the manual modes (and some with "Auto"). The video is nice and looks pretty good when hooked up to a standard CRT TV. I picked this camera because the viewfinder folds open and swivels around. This is nice when holding the camera over my head and adjust the viewfinder so I can still see my target.
