Review: Excellent Product - Picked Out After Much Research... - I just received my Canon SD-630 in the mail today and can already say I am very happy with my purchase. I had been researching cameras the entire week, looking for the right one for my needs. When I went to the store, Best Buy, I had written down a few camera model numbers that caught my eye. Over the next few days it was interesting to see how my perceptions of these cameras had changed. I had at first liked the 7.1 Megapixel Sony I had put at the top of my list at Best Buy. I based this on merely the camera having a high megapixel count and the looks of the outer casing. But after getting on desertcart and reading product descriptions, going over reviews, and looking at shots submitted by customers all of my original perceptions changed. While the Sony may have looked good and had a higher megapixel count than my Canon, it was the features that attracted me to the SD-630. I liked that it had some interesting options to play around with besides just the usual camera settings like outdoor, indoor, etc... Besides the basics, the Canon has options like Color Accent and Color Swap. These features really let you produce some unique prints without having to do any post manipulation with programs such as Photoshop. I myself had done similar work with photos using Photoshop, to make certain objects color while the rest of the image remained black and white. But this takes time depending on the object and its nice to be able to achieve the same results without any work! Its also very easy to use and I took some great shots in no time. Another camera I was interested in was the Kodak V570. After reading the feature list on this camera, such as the Panorama Stitch and Wide Angle Lens I thought it was perfect. Plus the pictures I viewed looked very cool when incorporating these modes. But some of the reviews on the camera turned me away somewhat. Such as having to use the supplied dock as well as Kodak software just to upload the images to my computer or charge the battery. I like the flexibility of the Canon, allowing you to transfer images via USB cable or memory card without having to use any other software. The battery charger is also very compact, no cords or large battery trays, just a simple charger that has a folding plug for easy transport (the charger is the size of a small cell phone - probably smaller). Yet I still liked the Panorama Stitch option that the Kodak offered and was really considering this camera as my final pick. So I decided to go back to the store and look at these cameras again now that I had done the research and knew what I was looking for. It was a whole different experience than my first visit to Best Buy. When I played with the Kodak it just didn't live up to what I had hoped for. I was put off by the button layout and the overall feel of the camera when compared to the Canon. After finally figuring out how to do the Panorama Stitch, while it was a cool little feature, it just wasn't all that great on the camera. The screen is small and when your grouping so many different images together, 3, its hard to really see what you are doing and to get a shot exactly as you want. I'm sure after some use I would get use to it, but to get the full effect you would have to upload the image to a computer and look at it from there to see if it came out the way you intended. The camera just seemed simple in terms of functionality. The Canon, which I had tested out before this camera, was a whole different story. I really liked how everything was laid out and the big screen made looking at images so much easier. Thus when you used an option such as Color Accent, you could really get a sense of how the final product turned out and decide if you were happy with the shot (or needed to do a retake) without having to view the image on a computer. It has so many different options to play with that are very useful in the simplest terms; such as Vivid Colors. I took a few pictures of the same objects using this mode and some in just Auto. You can really see a nice subtle difference and in some cases the colors just pop when compared to normal. It is very nice to use and is a great compliment to the camera. Simple features such as this are excellent and let you take great pictures without having to adjust manual settings. But if you would like to tinker with manual options, the camera leaves plenty of room to do this as well (which was another feature I was looking for, as I wanted to get more involved with the camera over time). The video on this camera is also excellent. I remember taking videos on older digital cameras I have used and they were pretty low quality. I do a lot of video editing and such, and found the video option on this camera to be very nice. It really lets you take some quality footage, that if you showed a clip to someone off of your computer they would think it was taken with a camcorder. Another nice thing about the video is that you can use Color Accent and Color Swap, which I did not know was possible until reading the manual. It makes your video much more interesting if used in the right way and adds a touch that would require high level video editing software (AVID, After Affects) to attain. This does it without any other work. Overall I am very pleased with this camera and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking of purchasing this model. Like I said, after reading reviews and customer feedback on desertcart as well as other sites that tested these cameras, I completely changed my initial impressions of what I thought I was looking for. If I were you I would make sure to go out and test out cameras you have in your Top 3 after reading all the great information found on this site. It really helps you make a confident decision in your purchase, such as the one I made. I had read before that Canon made excellent digital cameras, some of the best available, and can definitely back that up with my experience in just one day of use. I cant wait to use this camera more often and really get to know the many features it has to offer. I made sure to upload some pictures I just took today for others to see, hope this review has helped in some way. The only things I would seek to improve on this camera would be the addition of a wide angle lens and better construction of the tiny little door that covers the USB connection and AV cable connetion. It seems a little brittle and I would be very careful when opening and shutting it. Im sure it will be fine with proper caution, but if you were to open it fast or tug on it hardly, it could possibly rip and detach. Only gripe I see to express, but nothing too major.
Review: Sweet camera - multi functional - We purchased this camera to upgrade from a Canon SD410. Canon cameras are excellent - we owned the SD410 for a few years and took wonderful photos with it. The SD630 greatly improves on what is already a great line of point of shoot cameras. It is pretty amazing how many features they can pack into these tiny cameras. Some highlights: *The first thing you'll notice is the beautiful 3" LCD. It absolutely great to see the images right on your camera - and @ 3", you notice a lot more details than you do on smaller screens. In playback mode, there are some neat slideshow settings you can use to check out your photos. *The other huge upgrade on this camera is the ISO 800 shutter speed. This very fast shutter speed gives you the ability to take awesome indoor photos without the flash. One benefit of no flash = no red eye. Red eye is always going to be an issue shooting indoor photos and using the flash - this camera helps to alleviate the red eye problem as it gives you the speed you need to shoot without the flash. The fast shutter speed also allows for crisp images even when holding the camera by hand (no tripod). I shot a few test images (auto ISO setting) in a dimly lit room w/out the flash and the images came out awesome. *This camera is so easy to operate as a point and shoot (auto mode will work for the majority of shots), but for the serious (or quasi serious) photographer, this camera has additional shooting modes (e.g. portrait, kids & pets, nighttime, indoor, landscape, digital macro, etc...) and manual settings galore. Even includes long shutter mode, self timer, and movie mode - that is also greatly improved from SD410. We prefer this very compact camera as it is easy to carry anywhere - especially hikes, day trips, etc... We took our old SD410 to Belize, Yosemite, Niagara, etc... and have beautiful photos to show off. Definitely small enough for a purse or pants pocket. This camera only has 3x optical zoom - so if you want more zoom (shooting sports, etc...), consider a larger camera (like Canon's S2). We keep the digital zoom turned off as it reduces your image quality. You will definitely need a larger memory card. Get @ least 512 MB and more (like 1 - 2 GB) if you plan to use your camera for movies. No case included - we opted not to buy the accessory pack, because the camera case looked bulky. We prefer a small case that fits snug on the camera so we can 'stay light'. We found some great cases that did the trick by going to Wolf Camera. Take your camera with you when you go so you can try the cases out to see how they work for your needs. Canon makes a phenomenal product and this one is no exception. Highly recommended.

**Q: Where can I find a memory card for this camera?  Haven't had any luck in the stores...**

We took our old SD410 to Belize, Yosemite, Niagara, etc... and have beautiful photos to show off. Definitely small enough for a purse or pants pocket. This camera only has 3x optical zoom - so if you want more zoom (shooting sports, etc...), consider a larger camera (like Canon's S2). We keep the digital zoom turned off as it reduces your image quality. You will definitely need a larger memory card. Get @ least 512 MB and more (like 1 - 2 GB) if you plan to use your camera for movies. No case included - we opted not to buy the accessory pack, because the camera case looked bulky. We prefer a small case that fits snug on the camera so we can 'stay light'. We found some great cases that did the trick by going to Wolf Camera. Take your camera with you when you go so you can try the cases out to see how they work for your needs. Canon makes a phenomenal product and this one is no exception. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love most of it, jumpy video leaves me wanting more.

Had this camera for about 2 weeks now, and overall, I love it! Lots of fun modes, didn't think I'd use these at all when I read about them, but they are really cool! Take pics of trees or grass in vibrant green mode, wow! 3" lcd makes all my friends go "wow" when they see it, sooooo easy on the eyes to view pics or movies. Fits in my pocket very easily, not a hassle at all to take it everywhere, which just makes me use it that much more. Nothing worse than buying a big ticket item and never using it... BUT, my only gripe is with the video. Quality is good and frame rate is good, but if you are zoomed in AT ALL the picture is jumpy enough to be annoying. With no zoom, you may notice a SLIGHT jumpyness if you are really trying, but it's not bad at all. So if you are planning on doing any serious video, either get a tripod or set it on something :) All in all, I'm thrilled with my purchase. I've already taken tons of great pics of me and friends which I wouldn't have had a I not finally bought a digital camera. Had it not been for the jumpy video, I would have DEFINATELY given this little guy 5 out of 5. Even with the video issue, I would still highly recommend it.
