The best digital camera by far.
Date of Review: May 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: The best Canon Digital ever.
This stylish PowerShot SD630 Digital Elph offers a full range of enhanced shooting features that make taking pictures more comfortable and more exciting. Canon has engineered the best compact 3.0-inch LCD screen digital.
The high-quality Canon 3x optical zoom delivers the clarity and sharpness that make even the smallest details come to life.
The camera has settings for you to choose from. Auto, Manual, Portrait, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Underwater, Indoor, Kids and Pets, Night Snapshot, Color Accent, Color Warp, Digital Macro, Stitch Assist, My colors, etc. The print quality captured is enough detail for photo-quality 14 x 19-inch prints.
Powered by a lithium-ion battery (battery and charger included); stores images on SD cards (16 MB memory card included)
After receiving this camera as a gift, I went trigger happy with the camera. Not only was the screen wide but uploading the pictures was easier than I thought. The program that comes in the box gives you many options to choose from. I had a blast making banners and so forth. Recording videos was fun and easy. Uploading my recording's was easy too.
Taking pictures at night is awesome. You can actually see your subject in dimmed lighting. All of the camera functions and editing is easy to use. Canon gives you a program to edit your pictures and videos. This made my creative side more fun. I still can't stop using my camera. It has become that addictive. You get to view your pictures after each take and decide to delete or take another one. So, you can just imagine how many pictures I have.
The only downfall to this camera is the bird chirp when turning on the camera. It's annoying when people from another table/taping their kids play hear the birds chirping everytime you turn on the camera. Overall, I love this camera and wouldn't trade it for any other.

I've had this Camera for over a year now and still find time to take great pictures. This camera is working great and records great videos too. This is the only camera that takes great night shots. Still the best camera.
Uploading the pictures from the camera is easy too. Prints clear photos up till 8X10's. Used the viewing button alot moving back and further to different pictures that I think I wore it out. Sometimes, the back button doesn't work as good as when I first got it. But it still works. This means I'll need an upgrade on the digital camera.
