Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot SD630 6MP Digital Elph Camera with 3x Optical ZoomCustomer Review: Great camera - shipping a little risky. Summary: 5 Stars
I researched thoroughly before buying this camera for our son for Christmas - several family members have the SD600. Be sure to buy additional memory. Have been watching for the delivery of this almost $300 package, shipped via DHL. Came home today and found it hanging on my mailbox (on the street) held on by a rubber band. If you can specify shipping by another method, I would recommend it. My daughter just had the WORST experience with many Christmas gifts coming in one package from Amazon- the routing info was insane on the tracking - to the wrong address, wrong town, wrong state, returned by the wrong recipient- and then back to a dead package area of Amazon. The customer service person (who spoke marginal English) said they would review it, probably would not pay for expedited shipping to get it to her on time. I really expected better of Amazon. Perhaps CSR needs more training. Perhaps Amazon needs to review their shipping providers.
Customer Review: I love this camera Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best camera I've owned. This camera takes great pictures at 6 megapixils. The 3x zoom is nice. The battery life is great. It is easy to use, but has a variety of settings to help you achieve the best shot. My daughter (age 11) recently took an interest in taking close-up pictures of flowers using the macro setting with great results. Here is a list of some of the settings we frequently use: Indoor, Beach - great for any time the sun is behind your subject or for when the water will create a glare, foilage - great for any other outdoor setting, portrait, underwater - great for taking pictures of turtles or fish in the water (the camera is not under the water as it isn't waterproof), and using macro or infinity settings in tandem with the above settings. I used to think the digital zoom is useless, as it is on all cameras, but I think my daughter is sucessfully using it with her macro pictures.
Customer Review: The Best Digital Camera Summary: 5 Stars
I have had tons of digital cameras before and I have always sold them on eBay to get rid of them. Canon is by far the best digital camera I have ever owned. I previously had an SD10 for the last 3 years and am still happy with it. 3 yrs is a long time for me considering I am a bit of a techie that likes to change all of my electronics whenever a new one comes out. So for me the SD630 is finally a well deserved upgrade...
LOVE IT. The LCD screen is amazing and there are tons of new features that I did not have on my SD10. Everything with this camera is terrific. The only thing and only thing I can say is that there is not a battery meter, the meter only shows up when it is already running out of battery. This was the same for the SD10 and it was quite annoying. Anyways, definately buy a backup battery just in case.
Other than that, you cannot go wrong with this camera...
Customer Review: Digital cameras frighten me... Summary: 5 Stars
Some dear friends got together and purchased this camera for me as a gift and within 10 minutes of opening the package, I was using the camera, scrolling through the memory and generally having a good time.
Everything about it is well designed, such as the foldable recharger, which is so slim and diminuitive, that it can be carried in a small camera case (with the camera). It's also easy to review and save or delete photos. Turning features on and off is simple and requires very little EQ (electronics intelligence).
I still prefer my old Canon Rebel and use it from time to time, but I'm saddened to admit that digital appears to be the wave of the future. For those of us who refuse to embrace future technologies without kicking and screaming, this Canon Powershot makes for a relatively painless transition.
Customer Review: Perfect for the ladies Summary: 5 Stars
I am totally enjoying my camera. I think I made the perfect choice in getting this camera. It neatly fits into my little purse and I can take it anyway with me. I was also drawn to the 3 inch LCD screen! Perfect! Also because I trust the canon name (previously owned a Powershot A70) I know what I am getting.
Furthermore, downloading and transfering pictures are easy with my MAC, I dont have to think twice about what to do. Also the record feature is so clear, with great volume, I was very surprised. Additionally, even in the auto function, night shots comes out really bright and nice!
Of course I am used to having more buttons to press, but I guess with a small camera, most keys are multi-fuctional.
Now, whenever someone sees me using my new camera they feel the need to change theirs! Luv it!
