I purchased this camera for $500 May 2006, one year later it's scrap. It was treated like a newborn baby and was completely scratch/trauma free. Then the lens stuck and the LCD displayed the (apparently common)ERROR... E18. Canon doesn't take responsibility for this on their cameras. (FORGET IT - SOMEONE ALREADY TRIED CLASS ACTION! Search: keyword "e18 error" - read all about it). A seemingly solid investment in a camera to use primarily for work turned out rather expensive. I'm so annoyed, it took fantastic pictures, although the dials/controls are way too sensitive. The Canon S80 had a short run... released Aug 2005, DISCONTINUED BY EARLY 2007... no replacement model, no support for the shoddy workmanship. bu-bye money!

I would still consider this a serious design flaw given that this case isn't exactly cheap. Really too bad, since it prohibits full use of the A630's incredible macro capability.
That being said, the UW case works pretty well if you don't get too close to your subject. I actually prefer the fastening on this case over that on previous models -- it requires less force to open and shut, yet seems just as secure. It does serve its purpose of keeping the camera safe and dry. A bit disappointing but not a completely bad product.

Pros:
- Amazing image quality for a camera in this price range
- Excellent clarity in macro mode
- ISO 800 is useful to have when taking night shots without a tripod or flash
- My colors settings are useful and surprisingly intricate; you can set a custom setting for levels in red, green, and blue individually, as well as contrast, sharpness, saturation, and skin tone
- Color accent and swap are nice features for the creative type, and are often more accurate than I had expected
- Stitch assist mode automatically locks exposure compensation and aperture to make panoramas easier and consistent (I would really recommend a tripod when doing this to keep the camera level, though. Stitch assist software isn't perfect)
- Widescreen 16:9 framing is a nice feature (not to be confused with true widescreen, but automatically frames and crops in 16:9 ratio)
- 4x optical zoom works very well
- Extremely fast start-up time (about one second)
- Excellent auto-focus features
- Amazing battery-life (a pair of Energizer lithiums lasted me about 800 shots with LCD)
Cons:
- Only two aperture settings per zoom level in manual mode. ex. f/2.6 and f/5.6 at 1x, but nothing in-between (the A540 has in-between values for each zoom)
- Would have been nice to have had a flip-out LCD like the A610
- No Aperture or Shutter Speed priority modes (the A540 does have them)
- LCD screen extremely hard to see in very bright conditions (although to be fair, this seems like a more common issue among digital cameras)
All in all, the Canon A530 is an excellent choice for the price, and might be the best bang for your buck if you're looking for something with more features than your standard point-and-shoot, along with excellent image quality.
The zoom takes you right there so I can capture snaps shots from a distance without the subject taking notice and assuming fake stances. I just love this camera and find nothing to be critical of. So if want a camera that is so simple to operate that you will actually use, this is the one.
His main objection to the Nikon was there was no viewfinder. The LCD display would wash out on a sunny day. The A620 has both and the A620's LCD display is adjustable to a zillion different positions. Right then and there I was sold.
The A620 is bigger and easier to hold. The hump for the batteries also adds extra finger grip for holding it. The shutter button is large and away from the other buttons.
The A620 uses 4 AA batteries. At first I thought this was a negative. But the saleman said it was a positive. If the batteries are dead, in a jam its easier to buy AA batteries than special photographic batteries. He sold me a AA rapid battery recharger which includes NiMH batteries. I can also use it for my Garmin i5 PND (personal navigation device).
I have read some reviews that feel a camera that uses two AA batteries is better than one that uses four. Do they realize that four batteries last twice as long as two?
The A620 is a 7 Megapixel camera, the S5 was 6 Megapixels. The A620 has a 4x zoom optical lens, the S5 was 3x.
I bought a one Gigabyte SD memory card for storing pictures. At 7 Megapixels per picture, it holds 320 pictures.
The only problem I have is that I am not familar with Canon cameras and the instruction manual isn't very clear. I've had to figure things out through trial and error. I had no problems figuring out how to turn the flash off as this was identical to the Nikon. One of these days I'll finish reading the instruction manual.
My total purchase price for the Canon A620 including the SD card, recharger, and carrying case was less than the Nikon S5 alone.
ESPECIALLY with that swiveling large size LCD. What a help!!!! Even in sun can
adjust so rarely need to use viewfinder.
The large mpx serves as an additional zoom factor, since when you set camera at
max size/rez with very large mpx image, AND use zoom, you can get good image of
smaller subject from a decent distance, nearly like using a telescope!!!
Batt life very good, with the 4 AA as was with my earlier model. Actually so may
varients for pic taking I tend to get lost at times, but since I read the How To in
manual only when I HAVE to, its my fault.
Highly recommended. Now all I need is decent aftermarket flash for additional interior work.
As is the case with most Canon cameras, the picture quality is excellent (much better than the 7MP HP camera we tried before we bought this one) and while few people ever mention it, the image management software Canon provides with the camera is loaded with features and is extremely easy to use.
Overall, we couldn't be happier with our purchase.
I am going to probably going to garbage this camera, it is completely waste of my $.
