I LOVE my Canon Powershot A620. If you are out for a fun and easy to use camera that has possibilities for more than your average camera, this is the camera for you. My favorite feature which makes this camera so awesome is that the screen is rotatable. This allows you to face the camera and still see the screen and know what you will be shooting - no guessing. It also allows you to shoot straight at an object from above it and angle the screen so you can still see what you are shooting. You can also make videos of any size -- only limited to the size of your card. I have a 2 GB card and could make over an hour of video and still take pictures too. My initial Powershot was dropped and broke over Christmas, but I will be replacing it with the exact same model because I like the camera so much. It is a bit pricey to some, but worth every penny (even if it gets broken after 2 yrs). If you are more than a hobby photographer, this camera is great because you can buy extra lenses. It is a great way to get more into photography.
