  • The Canon PowerShot SD630/Digital IXUS65 Digital Camera - The Micro-Cam comes of age

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 30, 2006
    Pros: Fast, stylish, ultra compact, user friendly, huge 3.0" LCD screen, excellent photo quality
    Cons: Mediocre battery life, chromatic aberration, noisy ISO 800 images, vignetting, redeye, no optical viewfinder

    Summary: The first Micro-cam I ever saw was a classic Rollei 35S. Since falling in love with that wonderfully primitive little 35mm scale focuser (almost forty years ago) I've witnessed an amazing evolution in diminutive image making machines. Tiny cameras today ... read more

    May 1, 2007
    Pros: Small, easy to use, good price vs performance, good image quality and battery life
    Cons: Need to switch to play mode to see taken photos.

    Summary: I asked for this camera so that I wouldn't have to carry around my bigger digital SLR yet still get good shots. I looked at the higher end models like the 800 and after comparing the specification decided that the 630 would do the trick. It certainly ... read more

    Pros: size, durability, 3 inch lcd, fun
    Cons: hard to see screen in bright light, overthinks.

    Summary: I have always loved photography. I love taking my camera with me wherever I go. As most of you who love photography know, it is very hard to keep a professional grade camera with you at all times. I chose this little cannon strictly on its size. I ... read more

    Mar 28, 2007
    Pros: Lightweight, good looking, easy to use, large screen
    Cons: screen wide open to get scratched without protection

    Mar 8, 2007
    Pros: Small and lightweight
    Cons: No viewfinder

    Summary: My review for the Canon SD630 is very similar to my review of the Canon SD750 because they are very similar cameras. The SD630 is very lightweight. I had it in my pocket and forgot it was there. Although, I don't recommend carrying it in your pocket! ... read more

    Cons: Customer Service, warranty, reliability, quality

    Summary: My wife and I recently purchased the SD630. We were looking for a compact camera that took high quality pictures, had a large lcd and could fit in a pocket or small bag. After a fair amount of research, we elected to go with the SD630. Initially we ... read more

    Pros: Great picture quality, very compact, huge LCD screen!
    Cons: Flimsy battery/SD card door, no image stabilization

    Summary: The Canon PowerShot SD630 is basically the exact same camera as the PowerShot SD600, minus an optical viewfinder and plus a half-inch diagonally of LCD real-estate. It is a 6 megapixel, compact digital camera about the size of a deck of playing cards ... read more

    Pros: Excellent screen, ideal form factor, adequate battery life, good image quality, responsive, decent video quality.
    Cons: Body finish is not very durable, lack of a fill flash function.

    Summary: It's easy to get excited about a new toy, be it a camera or mp3 player or whatever for the first few weeks. We want to defend our purchases and justify our choice of equipment, even if they're really not all that great. We want them to be and will skew ... read more

    Oct 20, 2006
    Pros: Easy to use, fast startup, fast pic recovery, tiny size, great pics
    Cons: The factory memory card is a joke, you'll need to one with larger capacity

    Summary: This is a great camera. I bought it to take with me for a 24 day trip to Italy where I took about 1000 pics. Wow. Small enough to slip into the front pocket of my jeans(for security and easy access), yet this thing takes the most fantastic pictures. ... read more

    Summary: Like any true photography buff, I work with digital cameras quite regularly. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to Canon's PowerShot series. But there's something else, something special, about the SD630 Digital Elph. It's not ... read more

    Pros: Quick shutter time. Huge Screen. Small, beautiful camera. Canon technology.
    Cons: Umm. Hmm. Let me think about that some more.

    Summary: I purchased this camera for my wife for Mother's Day. My previous digital camera was a Nikon Coolpix 3100. It was a nice camera, but had its short-comings. Actually, my wife hated that camera which is why I got her a new one. She loves the new camera ... read more

    Pros: Amazing picture quality, tons of features, large screen, cheap memory cards, price
    Cons: No Viewfinder (this camera is allergic to sunlight)

    Sep 16, 2008
    Pros: None
    Cons: Everything- DON'T BUY CANON PRODUCTS!

    Summary: No exaggeration, three days after the warranty expired, the shutter speed slowed down so that every photograph was either blurred or greatly overexposed. Canon refused to replace the camera, but offered to repair it for $350, more than the cost of the
