Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot A630 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: LOVE this camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't really say enough about this camera. Although not a professional by any means, I do know my way around a camera, and other than fancy lenses there's not much more you could possibly need or want. My favorite functions are the Macro setting and the Aperture-priority. I like that shallow depth-of-field look with the background all fuzzed out, and this camera has a minimum aperture of 2.8, which is wonderful for achieving that look. The camera is also small and easy to carry around in a purse. Also? I LOVE that it takes regular AA batteries. I bought some rechargables and they last forever. I take photos almost every day and I only have to charge my batteries once every few months.
Seriously great camera and easy to use. It's probably more camera than a beginner would want (or someone completely not interested in photography), but if you're looking for a really nice camera and don't have the money for a DSLR this is a GREAT camera for you.
Customer Review: best damn camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this camera for well over a year now and it just never ceases to please. I love the standard AA batts which allow me to use the batteries of my choice and affordably keep multiple spares. I can also pick up replacement batts just about anywhere so I never need to worry about being without my charger...
Consumer reports rated it tops in picture quality and that is no lie. I almost feel embarrassed for all the nikon coolpix owners in my family. It's a little on the slow side, but the copious options (allowing you almost the flexibility of an SLR), flexible LCD, and overall picture quality more than make up for it. Consumer reports has just named the PowerShot A650 to the top of the heap so I already know what I'll be getting to replace this one should I ever be forced to.
Oh, it's pretty tough too. It's been on numerous trips, hiking and otherwise, and taken a few trips to the floor... the hard way.
Customer Review: Canon Powershop A630 good choice
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera has met every need of our family in our picture taking and videos.
Pictures are crystal clear. Typical easy off load by cord or memory card of pictures and videos to any computer or photo program. We have 4 computers with a different photo program on each one.
You do have to read the manual. This is not an out of the box, point and shoot camera. There are many many features available, and I recommend rereading the manual after three months to find out which of the many features you have not used, but could be using.
Price was fair, normal cost for this good a camera.
My wife has used it extensively and loves it.
We our "senior citizens" therefore if we can master it, anyone should be able to.
Very pleased.
I recommend that you purchase a larger memory card than the one that comes with the camera so you will have plenty of storage space.
Customer Review: Awesome value
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera replaces my original A80 4 MP camera. I loved my old A80 but hoped for a larger LCD. The A630 brings this along with 8 MP to handle larger prints. All this for a price lower than when I bought my original A80!
The camera is a little bulky and still depends on 4 AA batteries for power. That is one of the drawbacks/benefits. Also, taking lots of pictures with the larger (but must-have articulated) LCD will deplete the battery faster, so be prepared for this. On the upside, I discovered that I was accidentally using the digital zoom on some photos and was astonished at the quality of the images. Shutter lag compared to my original A80 is also a lot better.
For general purpose photography and ease-of-use, you can't go wrong with this camera. It is not slim but it is very comfortable to hold and operate. Highly recommended, especially in light of its price and value.
Customer Review: this camera is our newest addition to the FAMILY!!

i have to say I LOVE my camera. if you are looking for a fairly easy camera with all kinds of options that are easy to figure out (like at the aquarium or very bright lights...) this camera is for you. I also got a set of rechargeable batteries and a 2G memory card (i have filled twice in two weeks) the video is very nice..the speed is great for this price of cameras. the best i have seen. i spent weeks comparing price, priorities(pixels, eye finder, batteries, etc.) and customer review...I am VERY pleased with my choice.
things i LOVE that i was not looking for...
the rotating screen (i like to throw it in my purse and it is protected)
rechargeable batteries.
My favorite setting is the "kids and pets" with the continuous picture thingy.(i am not a camera expert)...going down a pool slide or jumping of the diving board is GREAT!! all in focus!!
LOVE IT!!!
