I Love My Camera!!!!!!!
I purchased this camera over 2 years ago and I'm still in love with it!!! The pictures that I take with this camera look like post cards. I'm no photographer by any means but you wouldn't know by looking at the pics that I take!!! I would recommend buying this camera to anyone!!! As a matter of fact, my friend just broke her camera and I told her to buy a Canon Powershot!! You will "SMILE" when you see the results of the A620! I cannot tell you how much I recommend this digital camera! I have had it for about 3 years now, and, not considering minor wear, it is just as fantastic as the first day I bought it. There are literally too many amazing features to mention. I STILL find new, creative settings to use on my camera, and, believe me, I use my camera almost every day! One of my favorite features is the swivel screen. It really is worth the extra money to have this on a digital camera. I wouldn't ever get one that didn't have this feature. Not only can you be in the pictures much easier by swiveling the screen around, but, more importantly, it protects your screen from scratches and cracks. Pretty much all digital cameras chew through batteries faster than the speed of light, and the A620 is no exception. Therefore, I definitely recommend rechargeable batteries for the A620. I use Energizer 2500 mAh rechargeables, and I have only switched back and forth between 4 packages (4 AA batteries come in a package) in 3 years. They are about $10.00-12.00 for a pack of 4. Overall, I cannot tell you how many memories I have relived by looking through the amazing photos this camera has created. For example, I had my family and friends take some photos at my wedding using my A620, and I can truthfully say that some of the pictures that came from my digital camera looked better than the professional photographs. This is truly a worthwhile investment! Quick...do not miss another memory! So Nice! It is so nice to have such a great time and great pictures without being a professional photographer. Ninety percent of my pictures (hundreds of them) were taken in auto mode and they are beautiful. My house is filling up with picture frames and memories of places visited while we are living in Germany. Good Job Cannon! Great Product, but Superior Customer Service. When we first purchased our A620, we were amazed at the quality of the shots made on a relatively inexpensive camera. It's easy to use, has many features more expensive Canon's use, and has a fantastic zoom capability. Then, after about 3 weeks of use, the batteries included with the camera caused the case to burn, damaging the lid. Naturally, we were really concerned about this and called Canon. Even though the batteries were not made by Canon, they were extremely responsive and within a week they had another camera on the way. All we can say is not only is the camera an EXCELLENT buy, so too is the quality of service. The followups. The interaction. And the deep committment to our satisfaction is testiment to the way Canon does business. We're a customer for life. And the camera gives us all the features we need to produce great quality photos for the casual outings we do. If you're looking for a high-speed, high-response camera a Canon Rebel or other SLR camera provides, this one is not for you. BUT, if you are looking for similar image quality at a rock-bottom price, this one is a GO! A nostalgic memory First of all, I don't understand the listed price of $549.99. When I bought this camera over a year ago, I got it for about 300... I think there is an error because the newer model is selling for about half the price. In any event, I want to declare that this is the BEST camera I had ever owned. I used this camera for more than one year, taking thousands and thousands of pictures. I studied abroad in Argentina for the year and took pictures of absolutely everything. This camera never failed me. Never. It took brillant, rich, great color pictures. I was never interested in the video component, but it served my purposes the few times I used it. The BEST feature is the pop out LCD screen. Not only does it let you take pictures up high or down low (like at a concert, looking out over everyone) but you can turn the screen around and take amazing self portraits. Instead of asking strangers to take pictures of my friends and me, we'd just turn the screen around and I got some of my best pictures this way. The zoom is good, the pic quality is five stars, the menu and settings are great. . . No complains whatsoever. I do want to talk about it's death so you that you are aware of it. This camera has a huge lense and is quite heavy. After about 14 months, the lens got stuck open. I assume it's a mechanical failure in the mechanism that opens and closes the lens. I've sent it in for service and await Canon's answer. I deeply miss it and although at the end it malfunctioned, I've never had such a good camera. I hope Canon will have good news for me. I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but I doubt it's the case. My friend bought the newest model and it has even more cool feature, like zooming in and focusing on a single subject and then only applying color to it and leaving the background graytone. Well, that's a review for another day. If you want a very capable, but heavy camera, this one will not disspoint you. But you should be able to find it between 200 and 300. | |
