Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot A630 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: Fantastic camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I previously owned a Nikon Coolpix 3.1 MP camera, so that had set my expectations before buying the Powershot A630. This camera is a HUGE upgrade in many areas, including:
* Fast startup
* Image quality (which is an obvious one going from 3.1 to 8 megapixels)
* Ability to shoot images in low light
* The flip open/hide screen is great too. By not using the screen (which is the normal condition when I shoot) it saves battery life.
* The fact that it uses standard AA batteries instead of expensive camera batteries.
* Even the included software to manage the downloads and view/edit images is an upgrade
The only negatives I can think of are:
* Heavy in comparison to other cameras I've had/tested
* Battery life isn't great. That may have to do with my choice of batteries, too.
* It should come with a case
Customer Review: Canon PowerShot A630 WOW!!
Summary: 5 Stars
At the time when I purchased this camera, I had been working with an 8.1 digital camera that wasn't even a true brand name. This previous camera had been nice until it went and it wasn't even a year old. I had been using it for my photo class at college until a vital part died. Luckily, I saw the Canon PowerShot A630 and read over its vital statistics. It more than fit the bill and it was a lot less than the previous camera. I was able to finish up my project in about a week and a half and found time
to play with it and find out for myself what it can do. Now that I have graduated I have read certain parts of the manual and was blown away by what it is able to do. It had been the screen that had originally sold me on it and now that I have found out what else it is capable of I'll truly treasure this camera - I just wish Maria Sharapova came with it!!
Customer Review: Great camera with great features and nominal price
Summary: 5 Stars
I own this product for over 2 months now and feel this is the best point-and-shoot in this range. Actually there cannot be anymore improvements in this already ideal camera.Be it macro mode, or normal mode every shot promises more than what you preview or review. Why I say so? The LCD screen doesn't give the real picture, with its average resolution.
The camera has a turning LCD screen which gives you more freedom with angles and views.
The camera might be a bit heavy, and definitely not a pocket sized one, but that is probably its advantage. You get a solid feeling holding it.
Its just an amazing camera in all aspects, except for low light photography. The images are not quite sharp in low light, probably because of the absence of image stabilizer.
Other than that, I recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it.
Customer Review: Consistent Quality! A sure winner!

I have owned the Canon PowerShot A70 for several years.. I was overdue to upgrade..
This camera is great!
- SD memory is very small, and takes less power and holds more images.. even at 8 MP!!
- The swing-away LCD is very convenient!
- Large enough to hold on with out shaking! (smaller cameras aren't steady)
optics are excellent.
- Imagery is fantastic for 8 MP.
- AA batteries can be had anywhere.. and rechargeable ones are inexpensive.
- SCN modes help lighting, Aperture, Exposure etc.
The camera's functions can be a bit overwhelming.. but offer so much control!
Summary:
Good quality camera. Point and shoot enthusiast and control fanatics!
Canon makes solid products!
Amazon Prime fantastic shipping and service!
Customer Review: Great Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera for my wife for Christmas 2006. We have taken over 300 photos with the camera in 2 months without a problem or flaw. We have only shot in the Automatic mode, thus far, and automatic mode is where the camera will be set at 95% of the time. The camera is great and the price is right. The camera fits nicely in my hand and is a perfect size and shape. I do not care for those "credit card" size digital cameras because they can easily be lost. The rotateable viewing screen is very inovative and useful when using a tripod and protects the screen when the screen is folded inward and not in use. The Software is very user friendly and I had no problem transferring the photos to my computer. I'd recommend this well designed digital camera to anyone. I would even buy another one.
