Canon - PowerShot A620 Digital Camera Review Summary

If you’re new to digital cameras, our reviewers say that the Canon PowerShot A620 is “the most versatile digital camera for the beginning photographer”. This is just one of the reasons why the Canon A620 is one of the highest rated digital cameras on this site, but that’s not all. For those who are more experienced, the Powershot A620 has many features like “specialized settings for fireworks, nighttime shots, kids/pets, snow, etc.” A swivel LCD screen allows you to “take photos angled up, down or even toward yourself.” One drawback that our reviewers noticed, the Canon PowerShot A620 is a little bigger than other cameras on the market.

My great aunt (appx 75 yrs old) bought this camera to go with her canon all-in-one printer. After she purchased it, she called me and asked if I would come and set it up for her. I did. This camera blew me away with its simplicity and image quality! There are a few reasons why I would recommend this... read full review »

Guys i can give you all one guarantee that you can very well take this camera to the middle of the waterfall at niagara. Yes you can take it to capture those very lovely, breathtaking, nostalgic and memorable movements. I am not saying that the camera will not give away. We took the snaps right in middle...

We bought the Cannon PowerShot A620 right around my daughters second birthday three years ago.  I am now hooked on digital cameras.  I don't thing we will ever buy a 35mm film camera again. The PowerShot A620 has been a wonderful camera for us.   It was reasonably priced for the features that it has.  It has tons of settings such as portrait, night scene, landscape, indoor, snow, foliage, kids&pets, underwater(have to have a water-poof cover), fireworks, beach, and so much more.  You can set it to auto if you are a novice like me or you can experiment with the manual settings to get exactly...

I was really impressed with the Canon Powershot A620 digital camera.  It takes great photos with amazing detail and has a good zoom.  Even if you're not very familiar with photography, the automatic settings work well.....and they have plenty of settings to change for those of you who understand that kind of stuff (that would not be me!!!).  There are specialized settings for fireworks, nighttime shots, kids/pets, snow, etc. and the macro feature lets you take amazing photos of up-close objects.  Macro is definitely my favorite feature!  Also, you can make panoramic photos using the software...

I have had my Canon PowerShot A620 digital camera for just over three years now.  I purchased it on Amazon.com after reading every review on every camera within my budget.  The camera was a great value to start with, but I waited a couple months and inevitably, Amazon had it on sale.  I have never experienced any problems mechanically with the camera and it takes great pictures.  I don't usually get pictures printed, being a digital scrapbooker, but when I need gifts the prints always turn out great.  And I can enlarge the prints as big as I want, although 4x6 is usually sufficent.  I like...

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... read full review »

I adore this camera.  My husband got it for me 3 years ago and it's been great.  Small enough to through in my purse (though too big for a pocket), I take my camera ev.er.y.where!  It takes great quality pictures at a very high resolution, but it's also easy to switch it to a lower res if i just need quick pics for something.  The features are fantastic, and more intuitive than other brands we looked at.  I've had no trouble figuring out how to use the camera on my own, but the manual is actually a fairly easy read if a person needed it.

I do wish it had more zoom power, but other than that...

I had bought this Camera after mine was stolen. The 7.1 megapixels is a great level for the new photographer. This camera has all the ability of a Professional camera. I took alot of pictures at the concerts of the band I used to manage and they were some of the best ones ever taken of the guys. I also used this camera to do photography shoots for numerous families and friends. So if your looking for a camera that is not extremely wallet crunching but reliable then this is the camera for you.

This camera is a top of the line product. It takes great photos; has tons of options; and no matter if you print the pictures off on your printer or send them off, the photos look professional. The Canon Powershot A620 has 7.1 mega pixels and 4x optical zoom; a LCD window to view your pictures to decide if you want to keep them; and several options in which to take a photo (profile, landscape, night, etc). I would recommend this camera to anyone.

We received this camera as a gift and have been crazy about it.  Our kids are 5 and 7 and take good, sometimes great pictures with this camera.  My wife and I use it a lot and especially like the movie feature to capture those life moments that are better memories when in video form.  Canon has done a fabulous job.  We tried other cameras, both in the stores and ones that friends and family owned and really liked this one the most.

An amazingly easy to use camera and definitely the best camera I have ever used. Highly recommended and very very affordable. The price is another amazing attriibute to this camera. The camera is very affordable. The only downside is that it kills batteries quickly. I would suggest buying a 4 pack of rechargeable batteries so you always have some fully charged to save money and time.

Canon PowerShot A620 is great.  It has a big viewfinder to see through.  It has an easy to find and use zoom and click button. The options are as simply or complex as you want to get into.  The menu is well set up and easy to follow as is the written manual.  It takes great quality pictures, not grainy at all.  It also does very very good on closeups.

Good camera easy to figure out, easy to use. The only thing that annoys me is that I have a baby and its not quick to let you take another picture so you miss out on a lot of good shots because of the delay.  But overall very nice pictures, it does eat your batteries up like crazy however, a lot of idfferent settings for different types of pictures, landscape, portrait etc.

Canon - PowerShot A620 Digital Camera

It's a pretty good for everything camera, I especially like the flip screen, though the LCD is a little small. The flash is ok. I have nothing to complain if it can do a bit better in capturing red. it's pretty crispy, but whenever it comes to red, simply awful

I love this camera! It is easy to use and a great quality. My pictures always look clear and nice unlike some other brands cameras. I always take alot of pictures and share them with family. This cameras is great for me. My family always compliment how well my pictures look. I only take our family's photos now. We no longer have professional photos done.
