 Very pleased! June 5, 2008

This is the third upgrade I've bought of the Canon Powershot and they never disappoint. I use them in very difficult settings, low light and fast movement, and they have all performed well. This newest model has surpased my expectations and I'm once again pleased I decided to stick to the Powershot line.

 Canon Powershot Defective History May 29, 2008
6 out of 19 found this review helpful
The Canon A650IS proved to be defective 2 weeks into using it! The variable viewing screen went BLACK; it no longer displayed what you were shooting at, as I was taking pictures. I purchased the Canon A650IS camera because the PowershotA640, which I purchased in May 2007, was also defective a month after I started using it. I sent it back to Canon for repair and it came back further damaged where the lens would not open. Canon finally replaced the A640 in July 2007, however, it died in April 2008, almost a year to date! Canon now has a history of producing defective cameras. I have switched to Panasonic, which uses a LEICA lens. I WOULD NEVER TRUST A CANON POWERSHOT CAMERA AGAIN!
Great camera but a little bulky May 24, 2008

I used to own the 10 MP Canon A640 and thought I'd upgrade to this one. Here are my thoughts on the camera.
Pros:
- Often takes great pictures
- Very economical
- Optical image stabilization
- 6x optical zoom
- 12.1 Mega Pixels
- Lots of shooting modes and features
Cons:
- Like most other point-and-shoot Canon cameras, the indoor pictures are pretty grainy.
- The camera is much bigger than the A640 and does not fit easily in the pocket.
- The casing seems a little flimsy compared to the A640.
Conclusion:
Most people buy point-and-shoot cameras because they are more convenient to use and more portable. This one however is a little bulky and cannot be carried around easily. If portability and size is not an issue, this camera is one of the best of its kind in the market. Its got great zoom, image stabilization, and a high count on the mega pixels. However, a camera should not be judged by the number of mega pixels it has because higher pixels give you larger images and not necessarily better ones. This camera is a good buy and it gives you very large images that also look great!

This camera was bought because we liked the A620 so much. With image stabalization, 6x vs 4x optical magnification and 12.1 MP plus facial recognition, this should be a nice improvement over the already great A620. We hike a lot; and this camera is small enough to fit in a belt-mounted holder. The use of standard AA batteries is also a real plus.
