Hi all

Thanks for your input, I've ordered my A 620 (just been discontinued - can't believe it) and am impatiently waiting for it to arrive!

Bye for now

I've helped three people in the last two months buy either the A620, or the A610 (same camera, 5 MP).

They really are nice cameras. I like that the zoom is a little more then average (4X vs. 3X) but still plenty bright. The flip-out LCD is a handy feature to have. And Canon is known for some of the best image quality out there.

If I didn't have a DSLR I would probably get the A620.

I like the flip-out LCD screen. There's a pretty good ISO range, and selection of f stops.

Switching between modes is easy.

Power is 4 AA batteries (nice!).

The camera is heavy for a point-and-shoot, but not uncomfortable in the hand.

I wish there was better zoom.

Recommended.

I've been helping a friend choose between the A620 and the Fuji F30.

The F30 wins on compactness, and ISO capabilities. But looking carefully at the sample photos at DPReview, I think the 620 takes some of the best (sharpest and most detailed) pictures I've seen from a compact camera.

I think for the price you can't go wrong.

I'll take my Canon A-620 over my Nikon Coolpix 5700 any day. The best feature of Canon is with just a flick of the thumb you can jump from B&W to color. Truly a great feature. I have no complaints and HIGHLY recommend it. A great field camera. You will enjoy ! ! !

Have a look at my portfolio.

Keep in mind I'm a newbie, so don't set your expectations too high.

I'm on my way out just now, but maybe I can write something more complete later.

Cheers.

I was toying with the idea of buying the A620 but in the end bought the A540. They're both very good.

I love the A-series from canon, My Powershot A40 was awesome for a 2megapixel camera.

Try PM'ing levyj413 - He has taken some good shots with the 620.

While I can't give a personal review, DPReview has an excellent, in-depth test on their site. The A series in general is very well thought of, and this camera is no exception.

Hi all

I'm thinking of buying a Canon PS A620 and would like to hear from site members who own this model. I did read the reviews on pricegrabber but would much rather hear from dpc members.

Thanx!
