Canon PowerShot A620 Review

 

In August 2005 Canon announced two new A series digital cameras, the five megapixel A610 and seven megapixel A620 on test here. Both cameras replace the long-running, and very popular A95, and join the A520 as affordable, well-specified compacts for...

Canon PowerShot A620 review

 

Canon PowerShot A620

Excellent feature set for its class; great image quality; easy to use.

Flimsy covers for SD slot, as well as DC and A/V connectors; center Function button is a little stiff; not as fast as some competitors.

The Canon PowerShot A620's above-average feature set and great photo quality should make it as popular as the A95.
