Weakness: Too big to fit easily in a pocket No battery life indicator
I've fallen in love. I'm an intermediate enthusiast myself and was looking for a camera that would let me easily take good pictures as well as giving me a fair amount of control over shots if I wanted. I'm touring Europe, so for the past month with between fifty to two hundred pictures a day in low light cathedrals to bright sunny landscapes. This camera takes it all in stride, continually...
Strengths: Allows you to be as lazy or as creative as you want to be. Camcorder-like LCD screen allows you to take pics at almost any angle. So many shooting options to use in real life situations.
Weakness: 32mb SD card included (use it for practice, or web page shots), red eye reduction spotty (use your computer instead), Manuals pack weighs more than the camera!, no rubber bottom
I have been taking pictures as a hobby since high school and worked in a pro photo lab for 2 years. I also am a graphic designer and use PS almost daily. I also love tech behind products and enjoy using tech in daily life. So in comes into my life a new camera, the Canon A620. Having played with my buddy's Rebel XT digital, I find the A620 so much easier to use. Right out of the box (a heavy one...
Strengths: Easy to hold, crystal clear optical viewfinder, adjustable digital screen, well placed controls
Weakness: Slightly heavy/bulky, no RAW setting, no extra side loop for a neck strap
I just got this on "Black Friday" at a price comparable to the Olympus SP 350 (finally). I have been torn in my decision between these 2 cameras and frankly the price and rebate (Circuitcity.com) offered weighed into my final choice. An added bonus was the rebate offered for a combined purchase with the Canon Selphy printer ($50). Pros for the Canon were the "feel" of the camera while holding it...
Strengths: Feels great in my hand; just the right weight. Great prints with amazing clarity. Price is right. Like the instruction booklets. They get you going right away, then progress to more in-depth info.
Weakness: Wanted more zoom, but I have not missed it because the camera is so much fun.
This is my first digital camera and I love it. I was scanning my film, but no more. This camera is so user friendly and I can grab it and go. I really love the feel of the camera in my hand. With so many cameras, and my limited knowledge, I feel I lucked out. I am having a blast with this baby. My film cameras stay packed away, but my A620 goes with me. When I see a great shot, I can do it and...
Strengths: High resolution, possible to set up shutter speed & exposure manually, very useful flipout LCD, looong battery life, works nicely w. ghphoto2 in Linux, automatic lens cover (good)!
Weakness: A little to big for a pocket, no RAW format, no TIFF format, to few zoomsteps, to small zoom range, a little slow when storing higres pics (that's why they skipped RAW?), flimsy connector lid.
When I finally decided that I didn't wanted to carry around a big camera w removable lenses and a correspondingly high price I ended up in this product segment. One has to be aware that one has cut corners when making this choice. I _will_ have more noise in my pictures when the light is no good, I won't have that much zoom etc. Having said that I can recommend the A620 very much. From start I...
Strengths: Excellent image and video quality, full manual control features, good ergonomics, logical and easy to use layout of controls
Weakness: wide angle range
I am an enthusiast photographer. I wanted a camera featuring full manual controls, while it is easy to use as a snapshot camera for the other members of the family, and also fits our budget. I have always used digital (earlier A series) and film (Rebels) Canon cameras, so I knew where to look for I want. Canon again delivered our expectations to our full satisfaction. This camera has Program,...
Strengths: + Much faster performance than the Canon A95 in all aspects (startup, focusing/shutter lag, image transfer, etc.) + Also Improved low light focusing and 30fps VGA (640X 480) video mode (finally!)
Weakness: - Manual on CD (except a VERY BASIC one which comes in print) - Really ultra thin soft plastic door over the "DCIN/A/V OUT" slot - feels like your thumb could go right through it...
Positive: I got this camera today and after I've taken some picture I must say that I'm very pleased with the images quality - pictures are sharp (as sharp as with my old canon A95), well saturated, well exposed, etc. As good as it currently gets IMHO. What also impressed me was the low image noise of the - it's somewhat lower than the A95 despite the higher resolution. Performance is also really...
Strengths: Easy to use right out of the box. The best stills and motion videos you've ever seen of a camera in this class with just a click. I definelty like using AA batteries. Easy to find and easy to install.
Weakness: The A/V port cover is right where you place your thumb when shooting, and does not stay closed.
I borrowed my youngest daughter's Canon A95 for a cross country trip. We went through 1.5 Gigs of storage. The camera was just perfect for everyday shots. So when we got back from vacation, I saw this A620 and knew it was the camera to get. We've been using the same Canon Sureshot 35mm film camera for 22 years. It has been the best little camera, and it has taken all of the family photos for 22...
Strengths: Resolution, flip out and rotate to any angle screen, small, nice placement of buttons.
Weakness: none
This camera allows us to take both photos and video. With a 1gig SD memory card we can take 130 pictures at 7 megapixels or 8 minutes of uncompressed video at 640x480. We take a lot of video of our baby with it and downloading to the computer is very fast.
In practice the Canon PowerShot A620 is a pleasure to use. Apparently, Canon has made a good concept even better and this makes the Canon A620 an absolute first amongst amateur cameras. The Canon PowerShot A620 is eminently suitable for both the beginner as well as the more demanding photographer. Conclusion: it's a winner!

Canon's PowerShot line of digital cameras have always been big favorites of IR readers, valued for their user-friendly design, excellent photo characteristics, and good build quality. The Canon A620 is an estimable addition at the top of that line, sporting a 7-megapixel CCD and a very good quality 4x optical zoom lens. It offers everything from fully automatic to fully manual exposure control,...

The Canon PowerShot A620 is a very competent midsized camera that's a good fit for both beginners and enthusiasts, and it gets my highest recommendation. With both automatic and manual shooting modes, very good movie and continuous shooting features, and expandability, the A620 is a lot of camera for under $400.

Canon's A series, a line of affordable and capable compacts, has been entirely revamped. The PowerShot has traditionally been very popular with amateurs who want performance and adjustment possibilities at an affordable price. Are the new PowerShots just as attractive?

it's not bad but the A610 is better
Strengths: nice color :) generally an A6xx Canon, so it's not bad
Weakness: significantly slower with more NR at each ISO than the A610, no significant advantage
I own an A610 that I have been very happy with but I looked into the A620-640 to see what the difference is. I suspected that with more pixels on the same-size sensor that there would be a sensitivity loss and I was right. I bought an A620 for testing and observed that directly, in midtones and lowlights, shadowy areas, the effect of NR was more severe plus there was an overall haziness and loss...
