Canon PowerShot A630 Digital Camera Review

I am a photoaholic.  I've always enjoys taking photos, scrapbooking and framing.  As a Mom of two gorgeous children, it is hard to just not be snap happy.  My prize camera for taking my Christmas card photos or Easter portraits is my Canon Digital Rebel XS  However the PowerShot A630 is a great camera that produces above average photos.  There are times, like when horseback riding or touring New York city, that I don't want the weight or the expense of my Canon Digital Rebel XS strapped on but I still want to be able to get great photos.   That's when the PowerShot A630 is the perfect camera.

The Canon PowerShot A630 has 21 shooting modes, including video, with 8 mega pixel resolution.

You do have to purchase a memory card and it also needs four AA batteries.

What I really like about the Canon PowerShot A630:

It's so lightweight- under a pound.  It has a wrist strap and it is easy to carry or lightweight enough to throw in your purse.

The flip out LCD screen is large and makes it so easy to see what you are photographing or videoing.  You never have to look through a tiny peephole or try to decide if the picture is good based on a tiny square.

Of course the most important component of a camera is the photograph outcome.  I 've been very pleased with both the clarity and color and the nice, crisp edges, especially in landscape and sky photos.

My Viewpoint: The Canon PowerShot A630 is a great, lightweight camera that offers above average photograph capability.  It is easy enough for a novice to use but has enough options to please an experience photographer as well.  The large, flip out LCD screen is a big plus.
