The Camera I Reach For First This is my everyday camera. It is easy to configure and fits nicely in my pocket. Canon sensors provide phenomenal clarity in all lighting conditions. I also own and love my Nikon D40, but this Canon is my go anywhere, convenient, light-weight workhorse. This is my second digital elph and I will continue to purchase Canons in the point-and-shoot form factor. The lack of a viewfinder should not be a concern for anyone considering this camera. The LCD is highly detailed and very large. Looking through a viewfinder almost seems alien to me now. I love being able to compose a shot without having the camera glued to my face. Being able to see what is happening through my eyes rather than a viewfinder, while positioning the camera is a beautiful thing.
Nothing compared to the SD630 During a vacation, I broke my Cannon SD630. I never realized how much I loved the camera until it broke--It was my fault, I dropped it and the LCD cracked. So, instead of buying the same one I bought the newer SD750 and was really dissapointed. Not only did I miss the ease and simple-ness of the SD630, I was not able use the underwater housing unit that I bought to take pictures when I was snorkling...So, sometimes when you think that newer and more advanced is better, you end up going back to the one that you started off with. I am proud to say that I LOVE this SD630 and when it is time to buy a new one, I will be looking for the SD630!
I would recommend this in a heart beat!
Zoom Zoom We just got our camera and have been playing around with it.. I dont know if we aren't doing the right thing but when we zoom in it gets blurry! Can anyone help fix this? Its really bad with the zoom and being that we are new to it, it could be us.
Makes me look like a better photographer than I really am! This is the second Canon PowerShot that I've used and it's my favorite by far. I love the large LCD display on the back and don't miss the viewfinder at all (seriously, who uses them anymore?). I've developed prints from this camera (usually 5x7s) and the quality is so stunning that I actually have to convince people that I took the pictures.
it's the " I look HOT" camera! Okay, I'm not even kidding you, this camera makes EVERYONE look hot in the photos! NO JOKE! I have found that no matter day or not, makeup or no makeup, good angle, bad angle - for some reason EVERYONE looks awesome when snapped by this baby!
I have no complaints, obviously I just don't like it for that reason alone, it's really an awesome camera - the full screen really helps with deciding whether to keep or x a photo. It's simple to use, really basic, but also has anything you would need to take a somewhat professional photo.
I have had mine for a year now, use it all the time and it's still in perfect condition!
A DEFINITE PURCHASE for anyone looking for a good lil cam!
