Yet another camera buying thread [Cannon A620]
Hi, I am planning to buy my first D.Camera and remembered we have several experts here on JW that could weigh in on the issue.
I will use it mainly to take high quality photos of nature, cities and cars :twisted: . I'm not very familiar with different features (e.g. SLR vs DSLR) but I understand I need good manual control so I can mess around with shutter speed & such, in order to create cool effects. What do you guys think of the Canon Powershot A620 7.1MP ? It seems to have a lot of features and looks more professional than those silly tiny sony cameras we see on TV. Although I would like to get a high performance camera with good value as well. I think $250 is probably the max I should spend. Thanks in advance for any input on the matter. |

dpreview.com/reviews/canona620/ cant go wrong with canon.. i doubt you will find anything better than that price. only thing i dont really like about the a series is the lack of rechargable batteries but thats a relatively minor issue. also lack of iso button is another minor issue. i acually change iso alot when shooting so it would be annoying for me but for the price i could tolerate it. |

In fact, the use of AA NiMHs is one of the reasons why I decided to stick to Canon's. I still use my old Canon A400, it's a great "little" camera that's good enough for less important shots. |
true.. i just get annoyed with having to buy and dispose of batteries. i just prefer rechargable but its a small issue
looks like a great camera either way, have fun with it if you end up buying it |
ye i will be ordering it pretty soon. Only downside is it doesnt have image stabilization and the zoom is too little.
I am getting a really cool portable tripod though :D Can grip trees and such. |

canon s2 just an idea... it may be out of your price range but this sounds like something you may want to consider |
The S2 is great but a little too large and heavy for me at this point, as I would like to carry it around most of the time.
Anyway I've settled on and ordered the Cannon A620 7.1 Mpixels. Should be here tomorow :D. I'll let you guys know what I think of it after some testing. |
