WOW!

I just recently had a baby and we were using my husbands old Kodak DX4330 (3.1 mega pixels). After making prints we were not satisfied so we decided we needed a better but afforable camera. And after researching I found this to be the one. And I was right on! Great quality pictures! Easy to use! Awesome flip screen!! Just be sure to get a bigger memory card!...

Excellent camera

I purchased this to replace the Canon A70 (another good camera) as I wanted more megapixels in order to take photos to be enlarged and have greater ability to crop.The camera is easy to use, has lots of useful "one-button" features such as for night shots, aperture priority and shutter priority.The camera can also be put in manual mode which permits manual settings and I've found to be very useful particularly for outdoor, backlit situations.The clarity of the photos is very good.The movie function...

Great Camera for the price

I just got my Canon A630 digital camera two days ago.I have to say that it is a gorgeous looking camera.The only difference with the A640 is in the color and obviously in the number of pixels (this last one has 10).Everything else is exactly the same and it is 100 dollars less that the A640.The picture quality is neat, and I am pretty sure I will have lots of fun with it....

Worth to buy!

Unexpectedly Good Pictures

My first impression of the A630 was less than stellar. After a year plus squinting through the viewfinder of my Rebel XT, I was really looking forward to composing my shots in a big, beautiful LCD again. Unfortunately, the LCD on the A630 may be big, but it's not beautiful. It does a fine job helping you review what's already been captured and presenting menu options legibly, but a mediocre job of rendering what's coming through the lens. The color is inaccurate and interference frequently appeared...
