Canon PowerShot A630 is one of the best models that offer value for money. This eight megapixel digital camera with a four times optical zoom lens; offer a photograph that is best as far as clarity is concerned. Developed on the lines of a cut down SLR camera, the Canon PowerShot A630 offers several key features like manual exposure settings and manual focus as well.

The camera is a great buy due to its fairly compact body size as well as due to the fact that it’s a step up on a standard point. The colours in this camera are strong, yet not too overpowering. With images sharper than normal photographs this camera also allows for greater influence over the way each image looks due to its manual exposure facility.

In fact there is an extra degree of sharpness in each and every shots especially the outdoor ones. The one minus however is that it fails to take into account the glare which results from sunshine though in general the colour parameter is strong. Owing to this in photos taken in this camera there is a nice, warm as well authentic feel. Another special feature of this model is that it manages to focus from almost next to the subject. However the shots taken with high ISO settings are not up to the mark as each time there is a reduction in picture quality in the final shot. The other minus point is that there is a shutter lag and the recycling time is on the higher side.

The camera also has an excellent feature called the safety zoom, which is available at lower resolutions and offers an extra 1.6x or 2x zoom. In this model you can choose between a nine point or one point focusing system as well as a fully manual focusing system. Over this entire product with its many excellent features that it offers, is surely value for money.
