 Canon A650 Review August 28, 2008
The Canon A650 has some features that take a bit of getting used to. Particularly the ISO, the Image Stabilizer, 'noise' at high settings. There was also a glitch in the software, the photos didn't properly download from the camera. This aside, the A650 allows me to shoot in other than perfect conditions and get very good shots.
The most interesting feature is a good zoom lens that allows crisp pictures at a good distance. Also, I have not had any of my pictures wash out even in really bright sunlight.
As I learn more about the features of the camera and the individual settings in different conditions,I am sure the end product is going to look better and better.

This camera gets 5 Stars but I felt compelled to write a review for the Amazon acolytes who may stumble across this. About a week ago, Amazon was selling this camera for about $300. Now, it appears that Amazon is no longer selling this camera but a different seller, Wall Street Photo, is. Because there are no other sellers, it looks like that is the going price for the camera, when it is not; not by a mile. They are currectly charging the egregious amount of $521.59 ($509.43 + $12.16 shipping).
Don't get suckered in by these bad sellers. Even the most expensive brick and mortar camera store is much cheaper.
Caveat emptor. Big time!

I am a canon powershot fan, and have been for a while now. I did a great deal of research before deciding on this particular camera, and I must say, I think I picked a great one! I love the variable angle screen and the quality of pictures is quite good. I appreciate that I can take great looking shots both with or without manual features.

This is the best camera I could ever imagine! We took it on vacation and found it to be versatile and fun to use. I was taking shots out of the windshield and side passenger window and you would have never known it. We were at an airport and the chain link fence was too high, so I used the swivel screen and stood under it and got an awesome shot. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone. The zoom is more than adequate. My last one had a 10x zoom so was afraid I would be a little disappointed. I have mine set on 8 megapixels and the pictures from vacation turned out better than I could have imagined. I had read negative reviews about the card being where the batteries are. I haven't found that to be a problem. I love the swivel screen and the fact that when you shut the machine off, the lens automatically is covered. On my last one, I had to put a cap on and that took extra time. It is quick to turn on and shoot when there is something you want to catch. Good job Canon!! The A650IS is a great camera. You get a lot of performance for your money!
Great camera well worth the price August 14, 2008

I reviewed a ton of cameras before I bought this one. What I really wanted was a DSLR (as my 35mm has worn out) but got tired of waiting until I had the money. So, I needed something affordable but still capable of nice shots. I have had this camera about a month and am pleased with it. The indoor shots have turned out really well (based on reviews of other cameras I was concerned about this). The outdoor shots during the day are also great. I haven't yet figured out how to best use the 2 different "night" settings but the pictures I took of my husband on a dark street turned out fine when I used the landscape mode.
I prefer using the portrait setting instead of the "pets and kids" setting even when I'm taking shots of the dog playing with our new kitten. It seems to work better that way. I'm not sure of the value in the "pets and kids" setting. I can't seem to get it to work well for me so I just don't use it. Also, I love the video mode. The videos are decent for a photo camera and very convenient when its nice to have a quick video of something happeneing fast and unexpectedly. I found it easy to run the software and download to my computer. All in all I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for some great pictures in an affordable price range.
