Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A630 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Another wonderful Canon camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third camera in the A-series. Like its preceders, it takes crisp and clear pictures full of vibrant colors. I absolutely love the Color Accent feature, to turn all but one color black & white, which creates a professional effect of accenting one color. The zoom is also fantastic - I used the 16x to photograph some trees in the distance, and it showed a squirrel on one of the branches that couldn't be seen with the naked eye, without losing any quality. This was astounding - the Canon SD630 took blurry pictures with a 6x zoom (one of the reasons I returned it), so I was very impressed by this.
One cool feature that Powershot preceders didn't have is the large swivel screen. It's very helpful if you want to put the 10-second or 2-minute timer on and capture a picture of you and friends. You can position the swivel screen so that you can see how you look (ex: too close, too far away, off-center) and get better photos. I also liked the large size; it's high-resolution, too, so it doesn't appear grainy on the screen. My friend Nathan has a 3" screen as well, but his has low-resolution and everything always looks grainy/blurry.
One final neat feature of the A630 is it being motion-sensitive. When viewing pictures, you can turn the camera 90º and view vertical images vertically on the screen. If you try to view vertical images horizontally, you don't get a very good idea of how it turned out.
All in all, this camera takes GREAT pictures and has neat effects, but is simple enough for an amateur to use.
Digital camera Review: Awesome Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Terrific equipment. Canon proved it again. Very easy to use unit, comes with lots of features, and delivers excellent picture. I used to own another Canon P&S unit (A-70) but LCD on A-360 is much better. The capability to rotate the LCD adds another dimension to the flexibility of this product. So far, I used two different ASA settings, i.e. ASA 200 and ASA 400. The picture quality in each case was superb.
Downside if any would be the SD Card that comes from the factory has very limited capacity, 16MB only. You ought to have a card with much higher capacity. Overall a brilliant product to own for any level of camera user expertise.

What an incredible camera for the price. When I show my pictures to people they cannot believe the vivid colors that it produces. This camera is simply awesome....and as Forrest Gump says, "that's all I've got to say about that."Digital camera Review: Awesome Manual and Auto Features...GREAT Camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether you are a first time buyer or not, this camera is excellent! It is comfortable to hold, and won't slip out of your hand.
Pros
-Movable LCD which makes self-portraits easy
-Good zoom (digital zoom looks bad in LCD, but if image is focused the picture turns out fine)
-MANY manual options which are quite fun to play with (eg. shutter speed as slow as 15 sec. which can make a shot at night look like one taken during the afternoon, drive feature which takes about three pictures per second as long as the shutter button is depressed in this mode)
-Easy to use Auto functions
-Video editing feature on camera when in playback mode
-The four batteries last very long
-Sensor which detects when you move the camera, allowing LCD to go to a standby mode which will turn back on once camera is moved again (saves battery power)
-Many, many other features
Cons
-Slow zoom on video mode
-Only digital zoom on video mode; low quality video when zoomed in a lot (but good quality when zoomed out all the way)
-High quality pictures (actually a pro, but makes emailing pics as attachments limited because of the 8 MegaPixels)
This camera has lasted me half a year so far and has done nothing but satisfy me while I've owned it. I would DEFINITELY recommend the Powershot A630 to anyone who wants an awesome camera.
Digital camera Review: Awesome little camera!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a serious little camera for very little money. This has to be one of the finest cameras that I have ever owned. It is versatile, relatively light-weight, and can store a lot of photos. The only down-side that I see is that it uses batteries, instead of a rechargeable battery. However, that down-side is easily handled with rechargeable AA batteries.
