Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A630 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Best Canon yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best Canon point and shoot that I have purchased yet!
I had the A75, A520 and then this one.
People are always looking at my pictures and ask "What kind of camera do you have?". They think it is some pro model.
The picture quality is great and the features available make it very versitile. Video is also very good.
The battery life is very long with high quality rechargables too. On a recent Grand Canyon trip I took over 600 pictures in 13 days on one set of batteries. Amazing!
Great camera, no doubt!
Digital camera Review: Better than I had hoped!
Summary: 5 Stars
After shopping around several stores and online, I bought the A630 with high hopes. This camera did not disappoint! I love the huge LCD screen that can be folded over to protect and refolded to address the picture to help produce and center a family photo or self portrait. There are several lighting options that you can use that definitely help in tricky situations. I took this camera to a Cincinnati Reds game and was impressed at the quality photos I was able to retrieve. I sat midway up in the stands and was able to capture some excellent batting pics of Griffey Jr. However, when the zoom is in full effect the camera must be held completely still in order to get clear photos. After some trial and error I was able to come back with some great pics! This camera gives very sharp, colorful pics almost everytime. It took some time to get used to the focus, which is made by holding the shutter button halfway down before taking the pic. I also used the video function at a recent party and was suprised to find that the audio came out better than expected. The video is a little grainy, but I bought it for the pictures, not the video. Although bigger than your normal point and shoot cameras, it is still an excellent buy for the quality photos that you will get in return. And at 8 megapixels I will not need to upgrade for quite some time.Digital camera Review: Boy, am I not sorry
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this camera. I was switching over from a 35 mm, which I've had for 20 years, and used Consumer Report as a guide. There are a lot of little picture-icons on the readout screen on the back of the camera, which take some memorizing to get straight, but at the same time, you can do as much or as little "fancy" as you like, and still get pictures that look really good. This is a camera to grow with. I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone.Digital camera Review: Broke down within a month
Summary: 1 Stars
After using the camera for less than a month the on/off button stopped functioning and now there is now way to turn on the camera.Digital camera Review: Bulletproof Camera, Great Pix and Video, Mixed Programming
Summary: 4 Stars
Our county bought a pile of these great cameras along with 1GB memory cards and we've been using them for a year now. This is a tough digital with a bright display that you can pull out and flip around if you want. The high-res video mode is 640x480 and smooth. We bought them for use by law enforcement, fire and ambulance crews because the controls are large and easily manipulated by people under a bit of stress. The USB2 cable connection is fast and the transfer software is acceptable, even if it's not terribly pretty. The software stores your photos in dated folders, so make sure you've set up your camera properly. One of our folks had a bunch of photos end up in a folder dated "1980" which appears to be the blank date setting. I carry mine with an extra four AA batteries (yup, four) because you don't get much warning when they go. But as a general rule, the camera's not a battery hog either. The macro and exposure adjustment setting work pretty darn well.
I've dumped this camera a number of times and keeps on ticking. It's *not* a professional camera for those who are hypercritical, but what it does, it does very well and while I usually use this camera for work, the few private photos I've put up in blogs are of very good quality and usually get comments.
