The large LCD screen on the back is nice for viewing your pictures and looking at menu options without having to squint your eyes. I will be purchasing rechargeable batteries soon when the original batteries die so I can get even longer life before having to change the batteries out again.

Any complaints I would have are normal for having an inexpensive camera, when I get my upgrade I will still think this camera is great, especially for everyday use.




The shape is similar to my old film camera. Thought this would make it easier to adjust to the smaller size of it. It has made the transition relatively smooth. I'm sure there are smaller cameras out there, but this one is small enough. The display is also a good size - bigger than most that I looked at.
I am not a genius at computers, so I was concerned that I would need to adapt to downloading pictures from the camera to the PC. But, all I need to do is plug in the cord and click a button. Very easy to follow any instructions.
I did notice that the display "freezes" for a second or two after a picture is taken. This is not generally a problem for me as most pictures are posed shots. I did run into some lag time during an Easter egg hunt this past weekend, but still managed to get about a dozen good shots.
Overall, I like the camera and only wish I had gotten up the courage to go digital sooner.



The video option works well also. Obviously you're limited by the size of your card (i'd recommend at least a 1Gb), but for quick movie clips I like it better than my digital camcorder. It saves them as .avi's so they're easily downloaded for editing/viewing on a PC. Pictures are also easy to download at reasonably fast speeds.
The available options allow you to customize almost everything, and they function logically once you understand the concepts (ISO, f stops, shutter speed, etc.)
The included software isn't as fancy as photoshop, etc. but is adequate for a beginner.
I like the fact it uses AA batteries (get some good rechargables while you're at it) so you can just buy new alkalines if you run out in a pinch. Battery life seems pretty good, but it'd be nice if it had a real battery meter. When you get the low battery signal it's almost too late.
Some may think the camera is too bulky, but I don't find it too bad, especially considering all the features packed inside. I also have big hands and have a hard time w/ some camera's tiny buttons. It's about the same as a simple film camera for size & weight.
The only complaint I have is the flimsy door for the AC/USB/RCA jacks panel. It doesn't like to stay closed on mine.
All in all, I can't recommend this camera highly enough. Just wish I'd had it a long time ago. I feel like I've missed some really good shots of my kid growing up.


On the down side it does seem to indicate camera shake indoors quite often when not on flash, but you can work round this by ensuring you don't have too much zoom. This camera is a great value - offering almost as much as the G7 for half the price and it has a flip out screen which you will come to love. It certainly has everything the 640 offers but with 8 MPix - on a compact you don't need any more.






First, if Canon would see fit to make the A620 look like any USB memory stick, I'd just drag and drop the images to my hard drive. But it doesn't look like a memory stick, so you have to use Canon's software to move images to your PC.
Second, the software repeatedly tells me that the camera is no longer available and to check my USB cable. Wrong! My cable is fine and the camera remains powered up. The software is simply crappy. I uninstalled the software, cleared everything "Canon" from my registry and reinstalled but to no avail.
Third, when I tried to get support from Canon's web site, guess what? There is no support for the A620. So, I tried to contact Canon, and guess what? They are experiencing technical difficulties, so I can't even get an e-mail address or phone number from their web site.
Customer service? I don't think so. This is absurd. If I could, I'd return the camera to Amazon and get my money back.



The camera is a little bulky and still depends on 4 AA batteries for power. That is one of the drawbacks/benefits. Also, taking lots of pictures with the larger (but must-have articulated) LCD will deplete the battery faster, so be prepared for this. On the upside, I discovered that I was accidentally using the digital zoom on some photos and was astonished at the quality of the images. Shutter lag compared to my original A80 is also a lot better.
For general purpose photography and ease-of-use, you can't go wrong with this camera. It is not slim but it is very comfortable to hold and operate. Highly recommended, especially in light of its price and value.



You will be impressed!
