Pros: Larger LCD screen, 7 megapixels, 4X optical zoom, full manual controls, and AA batteries
Cons: Some minor chromatic aberration (purple fringing) and very high noise levels at ISO 400
Canon ' s " A " series digicams are justly famous for their no nonsense ergonomics, dependable performance, impressive durability, operational simplicity, and bang for the buck value. Last year ' s A510 and A520 models sold especially well because Canon...

My camera is the A620, but the A610, except for lower pixel CCD, is the same. The first priority for a snapshot camera is SPEED. This one has it in spades. Very fast shot-to-shot and negligible shutter lag. The first priority for a hobbyist camera is manual control. The A6x0 has Auto, program and many preset scene modes. It also has shutter priority, aperture priority and full manual mode. Computer imaging enthusiasts will be disappointed that the A6x0 cameras do not provide RAW picture format, but it does produce excellent detail in Fine JPEG mode, and I think many in even that group would be satisfied. The lens is excellent for such a small camera. It is fast at f4.1 on the telephoto end of the zoom, very important for family photographs outdoors (fewer blurred photos of children or pets at play). Really good ISO400 results for even more speed. Color and white balance is excellent, right out of the camera. Photos are vivid and life-like. The flash is small, so if you use that a great deal I recommend something like the Sony slave flash which attaches to the tripod fitting on the camera. The zoom works fast. The controls are well laid out, and the camera is easy to handle (my hands are fairly long, I'm 6-2). The menus are easy to use and quick to find. I have not needed to open the manuals, so I can't comment on those. The LCD is bright, and preview mode is fast (the swiveling LCD is fantastic). The optical viewfinder is adequate and bright enough (about 80% coverage, I think). The camera fits in my shirt pocket, but with quite a bulge. Buy a larger SD card because the 32mb card with the camera only holds 9 photos at best quality. AA batteries are convenient. Get a good set of rechargeable batteries with a set of cheap alkaline for backup, and you are ready to go (good battery life here). I have not used movie mode and I might never do so, though I hear it is very good; there is a printer output that I do not use; the camera comes with software that I do not use, so I cannot comment on those three things.

The PowerShot A620 has a powerful 7.1-megapixel CCD--ideal for photographers who like especially large prints or who frequently crop their photos. With exposure controls that range from full-automatic, snap-shot simplicity to full-manual creativity, the A620 is a good choice for a family with widely differing photography skills. Given its low price and breadth of features, it should also be attractive to budding shooters on tight budgets who want to advance their photographic skills. Exposure modes in the Image Zone include Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Stitch Assist, and Movie. Portrait, Night Scene, and Landscape all make automatic camera adjustments to optimize settings for specific shooting conditions.

The good: Excellent feature set for its class; great image quality; easy to use. The bottom line: The Canon PowerShot A620's above-average feature set and great photo quality should make it as popular as the A95.

With 7.1 Megapixels, the camera incorporates a host of high-end features normally reserved for G-series PowerShots. DIGIC II processors drive a fast, responsive performance, and - in combination with the cameras’ 4x optical zoom lens - deliver superior image quality. A wide range of manual, automatic and special scene modes offer flexibility, creative control, and simplicity when required. The camera also features a 2.0� vari-angle LCD, My Colors, and a macro mode that allows photographers to get as close as 1 cm.

This is a great camera for those who need something smaller but still want power and flexibility. The ease of use and image quality are great for a point and shoot. The swivel lcd is also a plus to keep it protected while it's in the bag. This camera has seen some hard times and it still performs flawlessly. The menu is very intuitive to navigate and offers up many levels of control.

Excellent quality photo prints up to A3 with no loss of definition make the PowerShot A620 a powerful camera to have. The detail is so fine that printing cropped images is not a problem. This obtainable PowerShot A620 with its massive 7.1 Megapixels suits both every day use and the taking of more exciting shots, its many functions, resolution and power virtually guarantee every photo to be a success. The 4x optical zoom combines with the 4x digital zoom to produce high-contrast images with the digital zoom having additional versatility because of the high level of Megapixels in this Canon PowerShot A620.

The Canon Powershot A620 is one of the successors to the Canon A95. The A620, at 7.1 megapixels, and the A610 (the 5 megapixel little brother), make excellent upgrades to the very popular A95. The camera is very well built. The metal buttons and mode dial are nice touches when compared to the plastic ones of the A95. The flip out LCD hinge is nothing to worry about either. The larger lens and 4 batteries don't make this a lightweight camera, but it's not too heavy to be uncomfortable. The slider button to switch between capture and playback mode is the only button that is hard to operate. For storage media, the A620 accepts SD and MMC memory cards.
