Product Review: Cannon Power Shot A620 Digital Camera

Cannon Power Shot A620 is a good digital camera that you can use for still photos and make very short movies. It is both easy to use and has many features that will appeal to both experienced and inexperienced photographers. It is a mid-sized camera that is a good fit for most adults' hands. With the large right hand grip, one can operate the camera with just one hand. The body is made of both plastic and metal and is of good quality. The only complaint I have about the body is that the flap to the AV in/out area is made of plastic, it should be metal. If you are like me and download photos often, then you are constantly opening and closing that flap. I figure is it only a matter of time when (not if) it breaks. No need to worry about keeping up with a lens cap or taking photos of the inside of a lens cap, on the A620 lens cap cover is built in.

This camera features 7.1 mega pixels, 4x optical zoom, 20 shooting modes and a 2" LCD screen that tilts 180° from its body and then swivels 270° letting you shoot from many angles. You can easily take self-portraits thanks to this rotating LCD screen. I have one complaint about the LCD screen you can not see the screen in harsh or strong light so in the middle of the day you can't see what you are shooting. The built-in lens is the equivalent of 35-140mm lens with shutter speeds from 15 - 1/2500 sec, aperture range of F2.8 to F4.1 and you can adjust the resolutions values from 640x480 pixels to 3072x2304 pixels. The A620 has a built-in flash, microphone and speaker. It has a red eye reduction feature that doesn't completely get rid of the red eye problem.
