Canon Powershot A620 Digital Camera G-series performance at an A-series price

byHoward_Creech Sep 25, 2005
145 Helpfuls 146 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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
Recommended it? Yes

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 listened to what digicam purchasers wanted... Read full review »

It was my parent's anniversary last week and after hours of searching my wife and I decided to give them this Canon PowerShot A620 digital camera, so they can send us pictures regularly.

Pros Large 2.5" LCD screen, 6X optical zoom, full manual controls, and AA batteries

There are some very good reasons why Canon's A series digital cameras have been number one in U. S. sales for three years running. A series digicams provide consistently first-rate performance, superb ergonomics, incredible ease of use, and tough as nails durability - at amazingly reasonable... Read full review »

Good but not Great

Pros Nice controls; great size; excellent focus; beautiful LCD screen; long battery life
Cons More digital noise than I expected.
Recommended it? Yes

I take pictures for both personal and professional use, and struggle with the need for portability versus taking the best possible pictures. The photos that I take professionally are published in magazines and are usually snapshots of people interacting with each other and touching various pieces... Read full review »

Canon PowerShot A530 5-Megapixel Digital Camera - Compact and Inexpensive

Pros Uses 2 AA batteries, compact, 5MP, inexpensive, features, manual controls, image quality
Cons Slow flash recycle time

I am not a big fan of cameras that use 4 AA batteries, which is one of the reasons I consider cameras like Canon A610/A620 and S2 IS less than ideal. But I like cameras that use two AA batteries. Previously, you could only get up to 4MP resolution in this format from Canon (Canon PowerShot A520)... Read full review »

My daughters decided to get me a new camera for my birthday when they noticed I was taping the bottom of my old Nikon Coolpix 885 to keep the battery from falling out. The camera still worked pretty well other than that but it was 4 years old and they decided it was time for change.
