I'll only pick Canon cams. Canon is great. I've worked with Canons since 1983. I love the flip-screen, and AA batteries. I've taken 1,000's of pics with this one.
I use it on my hiking trips all the time to capture the moment. the 5 MP and 2.5" screen on my old A610. I am very pleased with my purchase and the A630 has met my expectations for a reliable and quality point-and-shot camera. I previously had purchased the Canon PowerShot A610 and was so satisfied with the convenience of use and quality of the picture that I decided to look for another one as a backup for my point-and-shot activities. It's one of the few cameras that offer an articulated viewer - a feature that I use all the time. I was fortunate to find a new one on Amazon and quickly grabbed it up. I was pleased to find out that I could still purchase a camera from the series even though it is no longer currently on the market. I opted for the A630 which has 8 MP and a 3" articulated screen vs.
Did video of a major thunderstorm that brought a tornado to my neighbors. I had a canon A540 before this and wanted to upgrade to get closer photos and clearer pictures. I have had it over a month and have taken many different kinds of photos. It is not perfect, but I am enjoying the improvements, and the quick response when you press the button is just worth it all.
My dad has the next level up, so I knew what I was getting. It is very similar to his. A little bit bigger than my old one, but the fun I am having overules. Overall, I am enjoying the camera.
Caught some quick action shots clearly.was great. The close-up photos of hail stones were great., though. So far, I have not been disappointed that much. The close-up of falling hail didn't stay clear as I zoomed in.
Scenery pictures come out great. Very close up of singular flowers came out fantastic. Realistic color is improved and I am enjoying this part.
This is the only Camera that I found that let me do this because I can flip the lcd screen toward any direction and see me in that acreen.wonderful camera, I love it I am one of those that like and enjoy take pictures with my family and friends and I want also to be in the picture.
But to be so feature rich, it is worth this extra bulk to me. It does not easily go into a jacket pocket. I average about 500 pictures with one set of four AA batteries. If I did not want the option of manual controls and the other features I would go for a smaller camera and enjoy the smaller size. In markets and on streets I often find myself tilting the screen and shooting from waist level. I've used this camera for ~2.5 years over much of the US and Asia and taken over 5,000 photo's.
This camera has been wonderful and reliable. I find that I most often carry it in a 'messenger bag' or on my belt under a jacket, sometimes in a jacket pocket. I and have been very pleased with its performance. I also sometimes find that I can hold it over my head, and the heads of others, see and capture the image again by the tilt of the screen.This camera is a little larger than I would prefer. When this camera is replaced I will look for another Canon, I will buy it from Amazon, look for a swivel screen, AA battery powered, and the newer stabilization technology. I am a serious amateur photographer and story teller who relies on images for Power Points, newsletters, and photos to display.
The tilt viewing screen makes this camera perfect for 'discrete' photo's in markets, for casual portraits where people play and work, of architecture, and even of self portraits.
