Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A630 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: All-round great camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Didn't buy this product for myself. But the person I bought it for has no complaints whatsoever. Tried to buy this camera from another online merchant but when they took almost a week to try and process the order I decided to buy it from Amazon instead. Amazon delivered where the other merchant failed!
Thanks again Amazon.
Regards,
Joel
Digital camera Review: Amazing Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I am one of those that like and enjoy take pictures with my family and friends and I want also to be in the picture. This is the only Camera that I found that let me do this because I can flip the lcd screen toward any direction and see me in that acreen.
wonderful camera, I love it
Digital camera Review: Amazing camera value!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those nice cameras that's so well done, it's easier to talk about what the camera ISN'T, rather than what it IS! This camera is not a small, shirt pocket camera, and might be a bit bigger than a woman would wish to carry in a purse. It's not a super-tele camera, but it does have a respectable, bit longer than average 4x optical zoom.
Using the camera, it has a good weight and feel for average sized hands. The use of AA batteries helps keep the cost down, and has it's own advantages, although some may prefer the longer life charges of Lithium-Ion batteries (I do). General, controls are well thought out and easy to use. The zoom is nice and smooth.
For those that prefer an optical viewfinder, Canon is probably the strongest supporter, and this is a better than average viewfinder, although it does not have a diopter adjustment. But you'll probably never use it with the tremendous 2.5" rotary screen. Yes, there are 3" screens on the market, but this dwarfs anything on a hinge! It is a great aid in composing photos at low, high, or other odd angles (photos you simply didn't take before).
Another feature that gets high praise is the flex-focus system. Today's AF cameras do a decent job, but occassionally, they just don't hit on the right focus point. With the flex system, you can determine which point to use. This is simply great for crowded rooms or nature photos where the subject may not be the closest item within the focusing areas.
Control for this price point is very good indeed. Multiple "scene" modes make it easy for the novice (ok, or sometimes lazy pro), while the semi-auto and manual modes give even experienced users all they need.
Simply put, this camera could have easily been priced $50 to $100 more. The only real competition is the A640, $100 more, 10 meg, and a bit more attractive black finish.
Digital camera Review: An average camera
Summary: 3 Stars
I had this camera for several months, and the results are mixed. Sometimes I am very pleased with the photos, but other times they come out very blury, especially under low lighting. Sure, a tripod helps and many of the manual controls help, but I am mostly interested in taking pics of my kids, which requires a camera to snap descent pics w/o all the hassle. In the end I decided on a higher-end camera with optical stabilization --- Canon S3 and have been very satisfied with it. All the research in the world can still lead you to the wrong camera... in the end what matters is a retailer with a generous return policy.Digital camera Review: Another super camera from Canon!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the flip-screen, and AA batteries. I've taken 1,000's of pics with this one. Canon is great. I'll only pick Canon cams. I've worked with Canons since 1983.
