Customer Review: Bulletproof Camera, Great Pix and Video, Mixed Programming
Our county bought a pile of these great cameras along with 1GB memory cards and we’ve been using them for a year now. This is a tough digital with a bright display that you can pull out and flip around if you want. The high-res video mode is 640×480 and smooth. We bought them for use by law enforcement, fire and ambulance crews because the controls are large and easily manipulated by people under a bit of stress. The USB2 cable connection is fast and the transfer software is acceptable, even if it’s not terribly pretty. The software stores your photos in dated folders, so make sure you’ve set up your camera properly. One of our folks had a bunch of photos end up in a folder dated “1980″ which appears to be the blank date setting. I carry mine with an extra four AA batteries (yup, four) because you don’t get much warning when they go. But as a general rule, the camera’s not a battery hog either. The macro and exposure adjustment setting work pretty darn well.
I’ve dumped this camera a number of times and keeps on ticking. It’s *not* a professional camera for those who are hypercritical, but what it does, it does very well and while I usually use this camera for work, the few private photos I’ve put up in blogs are of very good quality and usually get comments.
Customer Review: A Professional-Like Camera Made For The Amateur.
If you’re anything like me, you’re not exactly digital camera savvy. You may not understand what exactly ISO has to do with a shot, or the benefits of using Macro or different lens settings. Before buying this camera, I owned a Fuji Fine Pix camera. It was everything a beginner’s camera was supposed to be. It was easy to use, but the ease came at the sacrifice of having great looking pictures. That isn’t the case with the Canon A630.
The Canon A630 is a professional like camera that is made for the use of both amateurs and mastery photographers. It comes with a host of features and is relatively easy to get used to using. I’ve owned this camera for nearly 2 years, and have yet to have a major problem with it. The only minor problem I have had is battery life, but I bought a rechargable battery for the camera, and that’s improved my issue with batteries. I took this camera abroad to Europe with me to cover my trip, and the photos turned out great. Clear, vivid, and crisp. I definitely recommend this camera to any and everyone. If you’re looking for a great camera, but are a bit intimidated by being overwhelmed with the technical aspects, then the Canon A630 is the camera for you. Easy to use and great results.
