Cons: Body finish is not very durable, lack of a fill flash function.

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 ...

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

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. ...

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

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

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 ...

Pros: Small and lightweight
Cons: No viewfinder

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! ...
