Canon A620

by jlm19 May 15, 2006 10:01PM PDT

Consumer Reports rates the Canon A620 #1. Wouls you agree? I currently have the Nikon Coolpix 4300 and it takes great pictures but the lag time is slow and I want more megapuxels. I am also worried that the A620 may be too large for carrying around all the time since I always have my camera with me.

Is there a better camera for me or will the A620 be my best choice?

Canon A620

The A620 is certainly a winner.
You get a lot for your money.
Including manual controls, a very sharp lens and low shutter lag (0.2 second).

Take a look at what owners say about the A620:

A very nice smaller camera can be found but it will not measure up to the features and performance of the A620.

I don't know of any small camera with a lens as sharp as the one on the A620.

Your Nikon 4300 is just about the same size and weight as the Canon A620.

I'd agree

I'd agree with snapshot. I think if you can cary your Nikon then you can carry that.

Important to remember what consumer reports considers and what you consider. CR usually comes to a good conclusion considering price. People who come to these sort of forums typically have more money to spend but the A620 is an exceltent choice

Thank you snapshot and eeadams. I am glad to hear you both think the A620 is an excellent choice. I'm not on a tight budget but do like that you get a lot for the price with the A620. Thanks again for your input.
