I've owned this camera for a couple of months and have had the A510 (very similar) as a work camera for 18 months. I have been very pleased and feel that the money was well spent.
I was a little surprised that this camera still comes with the 16 MG card - definitely upgrade to the 512 or 1 GB card. I use the video function infrequently and if this is an important feature for you there are probably better cameras out there. But if you need great pictures in almost every possible light setting, this camera will be excellent.
I read a couple of reviews that slammed the indoor light conditions - not true. There are a lot of settings, as one reviewer noted, and a few minutes working with the instructions will have you taking great shots in any light. Anyway, if you upgrade to the 1 GB card, you can take lots of practice shots.

In need of a replacement camera all the reviews both consumer and commercial raved over this camera. Relative to my prior camera this camera (with a higher pixel rating) excels. Ease of use, quality of pics and an affordable price make this a definite winner. I totally recommend this unit to anyone wishing to have a dependable and versatile digital camera in their arsenal. :-)

Seemed like a very fine camera until we discovered the UGLY truth. A Google search reveals Canon is/was the subject of a class action suit for this very problem.
Any interference with the action of the zoom lens renders the camera inoperable. It must be returned to Canon for repairs. To their credit, they did repair our camera no charge in about 2-3 weeks. If I had known this product was a fragile as an empty eggshell, I would have never purchased it. Caveat emptor, or "we reserve the right to take advantage of the weak, the stupid, and the ignorant. If you want trust...buy a dog"

I haven't learned al the features on this camera and doubt that I will ever use them, but it is a great camera. The resolution is great. The multiple-position LCD screen is handy in some situations. The speed is tops. Battery life appears very good. I got about 150 shots plus playback and time spent on various camera adjustments on a set of batteries the first time around. Maybe the camera gets even more shots on a set once I learn more about using it. I like the feel of the camera. It is a bit heavier than other similar items, but I like the substantial feel. I keep it in a Canon case on my belt, and just have to make sure it doesn't drop off the belt in the toilet.

I love everything I have so far figured out with my camera. I haven't spent the time to really look into or use any special features. But I can tell you having the flip out screen is really nice. I can have my camera up high but still see what's in my lense by simply tilting the screen down. Also it helps because I can turn it inward therefore further protecting it from scratches or the hands of my little children. I would recommend this camera to anyone, especially those that take the time to read all the info about special features. (cause I know it has lots of them)

I was looking for a camera with more features and capabilities than my Fuji FinePix Z1. Though my Z1 is small, easy to use, and takes great pictures, it does not do well in certain lighting conditions. After some dreadful shots at a wedding last week I went on the prowl for a better camera. From the second I started shooting with the Canon PowerShot a540 I was in love! One of my favorite features of this camera is the ability to quickly change between Auto, Programmed, and the various Image Zone special scene modes... and I can have separate size and quality settings for each one! (though the 10 or so special scene modes share a common size/quality setting.) The custom timer with options for delay and number of shots is another nice touch. I'm not throwing away my Z1, but it may get some dust on it...

I've been using this camera for a couple months and am very happy with it. The big flip screen is a great asset - and my pictures are excellent quality, although I haven't yet read the manual. No doubt they'll be spectacular once I do that. Previously I had a sophisticated "professional" Olympus digital with too many options for me, so I gave it to our son, who has more patience and understanding. This one may have the same options, but somehow it isn't as daunting.

Back around five years ago I bought a canon A 20 2.1 mega pixel camera (for about $200 more then this A 620) and it is a good camera, but really only good for good 6 by 4's. So I have been waiting to upgrade to a better camera, with at least 5.0 mega pixels and when I saw this one on amazon a 7.1 mega pixel camera for the price of a 3.0 mega pixel and saw all the good reviews I had to get it. And I am very pleased. This camera is a nice small size, not to small, it has a good feel to it. It has tons of point and shoot features along with some features an expensive SLR would have. You can just shoot on AUTO or you can go all the way to manual. The pictures I have taken so far have been very very sharp, and the features pretty easy to use. I love the color boosting features for high saturation (reminds me of shoot agfa ultra 50 print film (which does not exist anymore) and the macro is fantastic. I will stop there with the features you can explore those yourselves. Let me finish by saying I am very pleased with this Canon A 620 and I would highly recommend this camera and get yourselves 1-2 1 GIG SD cards to go with it. The card that comes with the camera is too small to do much.

R. Laracuente, You just took the words off my lips!!! I also previously owned the SONY DSC-P73 as my first digital camera.
Because my previous camera was such a GOOD one, I found myself to be somewhat picky before purchasing the next one. Reason I started researching was because my old one started malfunctioning w/in 1-1/2 years of usage.
Things I looked for were: GOOD quality images, Video with Sound, uses SD (instead of Sony's annoying Memory sticks), Cheap, and Easy to Use.
Since I never used a Canon before, I was worried about the Image quality and ease of use. But with so many good reviews, I had to try it out. This camera just stood out from the REST of the cameras because of it's A+ rating on every site and having the LEAST negative reviews.
I admit, I am happy with my purchase. Never knew I could take pictures this GOOD!
Negative Side: A/V door is extremely flimsy which worries me to an extent. Still sturdy, just flimsy. Also, the Lens cover on my camera seems a little uneven (Doesn't seem to close as properly as my sony digital). Not sure if it's with all cameras or just mines. Seems to work fine though.

This was a gift for my brother this xmas. What a great camera - there is virtually nothing you can't do with it. Really easy to use with great menu's and a HUGE viewing screen. Downsides - it chews through batteries, even the ones meant for digital camera's. I would highly recomend getting rechargeables with it. There is no image stabalization technology with this camera. Which is probably why it is a less expensive than others.
I own two other Canon Digital camera's (3.2mp elph and 8mp DSLR rebel)and have never regreted buying canon.

I had A80 which is suppose to best of the bread, but this A530 -
- is much more light weight (works with 2 batteries).
- Controls are easy to operate
- Screen colors are not that realistic (but photos would come with real colors)
- Photo quality is good (comparable to A80)
- Even though it is entry level digital camera, I guess it is sufficient for some one like me who takes lot of photos and expect them to come nice without having any photography skills
- Surprisingly its video came out better than A80 in low light
- is much more light weight (works with 2 batteries).

This is a great little camera. I really like the large LCD view. It's compact but packs a lot of nice features. I'm a camera nut from the "old days" and like the fact that I can select my shutter speed and/or aperature. Be prepared to carry spare AA batteries. It's more convenient than having to plug into a battery charger, but it does use batteries pretty quickly.

I am pleased with my purchase. Canon makes a good product. It is has a good size and weight - not too light or too small. The 'slow' in my title comes from the fact that at times, it can take a little while for the camera to refresh and be ready to take another picture. When you press the shutter, it is pretty quick which is nice. The only time it is a little slow is when you have taken a picture and then want to take another one rapidly - this takes a little while sometimes. Other than that it is a good camera. I also like the software that is included.

I bought this camera after seeing the rave reviews for it on Amazon. I figured a Canon camera, with 7.1MP and 4x optical zoom under $250- how could I go wrong.
When the camera came I was disappointed with the small size of the screen- only 2" versus most of the competitors that are 2.5" and yes it does make a big difference in how the picture looks. Big deal the lens swivels around, and after a day or so you will get tired of that. It does nothing to actually help the camera. And also if you look at the lens from the side it is hazy and lacks color, which is a sign of a cheap screen.
Also notice this camera takes four large batteries whereas most of the competition takes only two. These extra batteries make it almost impossible to fit this camera in your pocket and weigh the camera down.
Most importantly I was disappointed with the optics of the camera. 4x zoom should come in clearer than what this camera delivers. Objects only 30 feet away will come in faintly and will lack crispness. One should not have to buy overpriced, proprietary lenses to take a good picture. A better bet would be the Fuji Finepix with 9MP which is more portable and has much better resolution.

The Canon PS A540 is a great camera IF you can buy it for $129.00, You can buy a Fuji that takes better low light pictures for $139.

Canon point and shot camea is good with picture quality.
Two complains I have with this camera: body size and the LCD screen. My brother just bought a Samsung 7MP point and shot camera during Christmas. Around $160. It also uses 2 AA batteries and the screen size is the same as my A540. The Samsung is slimmer and its LCD screen is much sharper than mine. I am not sure the picture quality of its printed photo since I have not seen one yet.
For the price I paid (around $170 shipped), this is a good camera. I will keep it for awhile.

I recieved this camera as a gift about 6 months ago. I have had great experiences with it. The picture quality is amazing. The amaount at which you can zoom in on your pictures is amazing. For instance, we took a picture of a police car accross the street and kept zooming in just to see how far it would let us until it got blury. We could see what was in his backseat!! This camera never ceases to amaze me. It is a great gift! And an excellent camera for the price. I recently had the honor of taking my friend's engagement pictures with my camera...here is a slideshow of them....they look professional.

I was very disappointed to discover the Canon A-series is now made of plastic! I was expecting the same solid feel of the older Canon sureshot.
I called Canon and they said it is made of a "durable plastic" in order to make it lighter. I think that should be mentioned in the description.
Oh, and the lens is also made of plastic, which I didn't know (glass is superior but of course would cost more). My only complaint is that once again, there is no mention of that in the description.

I have that for few months and I have taken quite few pictures with it. Awesome screen size and picture resolution I love that thing, and the price for under $200 and over $150. Pretty good deal for a camera like this one, I recommend it I have always had Canon Cameras and I would never get any other kind. CANON is the best

I wouldn't consider myself a pro photographer, but I can tell the difference between a good photograph and a bad one.
I sold my Canon G5, a while back now, and loved that camera. Bought an Olympus E-500 to replace it, and as much as I love the olympus, I am selling it because I would prefer a point and shoot.
I read around about the A620, and everywhere I read it got rave reviews, so I figured I can't go wrong with it. I got it this morning, and have been snapping all day, and it is just brilliant! I have compared it to my E-500 (which is a DSLR) and the A620 comes very very very... you get the drift... close! I have taken pictures of the same thing moments after each other and displayed them on my computer screen, and it would take a better eye than mine to see any difference! OK the E-500 has more functions and settings, but I can't see myself ever using them, most likely to stay in auto mode!
Well, I dont know how canon do this, but at this price the quality of the pictures is great! You can't/won't go wrong with this little beauty!
As for the negatives, well some rechargable batteries wouldn't have gone a miss, but they cost next to nothing now-a-days. Also the feel of it is very plasticy, doesnt feel as well put together as my old Canon G5, but its still very sturdy.
So what you waiting for? go get one now! :-)

I was interested in this camera because of the swivel LCD. It looks really good in all areas, but it is missing a very important feature essential in cameras at this time:
Image Stabilization
It is making its way into all lines of cameras, including the Canon Elph series. Sony, Kodak -- they are all moving towards image stabilization.
I have used several cameras with image stabilization and I will never go back to a camera that doesn't have it.
The 2" LCD is also small by today's standards. The Kodak EasyShare One is selling at a very attractive price point right now (< $200, I got one for $149). It has a 3" swivel LCD, and great video mode with high compression and high quality. However, that camera also lacks image stabilization.
A camera can have excellent specs in all areas, but if it doesn't have image stabilization, blurry pictures will inevitably result in many lighting conditions.
Save your money, wait for image stabilization to make its way into this line of Canon cameras, or check out the many cameras on the market that have this now.

I thought I would wait a bit and get some usage in before I posted my review of the A620. I agree totally with the other reviewer's comments about performance and image quality etc, so I won't repeat them. I have taken thousands of photographs with this camera and it has been on two visits to the USA, several camping trips and has been lugged up hills and down dales here in the UK. The floppy plastic door on the USB socket is holding up surprisingly well and is still a perfect fit. I have found that threading the carry strap through the eyelet from the top of the camera makes opening and closing the door easier. 2500 mAh NiMh rechargeable batteries are essential extras and last for a very long time but add considerably to the mass of the camera. This causes problems when carrying it with the camera hanging by the strap as it has considerable momentum, and if you knock it into anything it will probably mark the plastic case. I particularly found this to be a problem banging into trekking poles etc when rambling. A well padded case is recommended if you are going to use it "in the field" Despite this, the camera still looks good and performs as it did out-of-the-box. I'm very pleased with it and it deserves five stars.

I am not a camera expert. Thus far I have used the camera only a few times. It has been entirely satisfactory. I have been favorably impressed with its design and quality. Canon telephone technical support for help with learning camera functions has been excellent. I chose this line of camera because it has a viewfinder. I am glad that I did, because trying to use the LCD screen to frame a shot in bright sunlight would be very difficult.
