 Not an upgrade from my A 620 April 22, 2008

This camera (A 650 IS) has two problems on "Auto":
Unreliable autofocus: At my grandson's soccer game the first photo is properly focused but the next one is not. Does the "face detection" system conflict with the "image stabilization" system? Minus one star.
Unreliable exposure: Still at my grandson's soccer game the first photo is F:4 at 1/200 sec, the second is F:4 at 1/400 (dark), the third is F:4 at 1/600 (very dark) all taken within 60 seconds. Minus one star.
With a "point 'n shoot" camera it is essential that after you point it and shoot it you get a good image. This one only does that sometimes.
Amazon itself gets the full 5 stars. I ordered the camera April 4, they shipped April 5, I shot 500+ images including the soccer game April 12, contacted the "online returns center" April 14 and shipped it back the same day, Amazon processed the refund April 18 with no charge for the return shipping. No problems at all and no delays.
I will buy my next camera from Amazon!
Fabulous April 20, 2008

Excellent small camera for serious photographers who don't always want to carry something larger. Articulated screen lets you shoot low to the ground, Hasselblad style, for great angles with kids, pets, etc. And over your head, which would wouldn't do with a 5 lb Hassy.
High pixel count makes the digital zoom a real usable option (on the telephoto end) instead of a toy. Lots of control, unbelievably long battery life.
Overall, a fabulous camera.
GREAT LITTLE CAMERA April 14, 2008

Canon PowerShot A650IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS CAMERA'S FEATURES: 12 Mp RESOLUTION, 6X OPTICAL AND 4X MECH ZOOM FOR 24X ZOOM. THE HIGH RESOLUTION PERMITS THE FULL ZOOM WITH GOOD OPTICAL RESULTS. FEATURES LIKE AN OPTICAL VIEWFINDER, THE HIGH ISO, AN ARTICULATED LCD SCREEN AND AN AUTOMATIC LENS COVER ARE VERY HANDY. I'M A LANDSCAPE PAINTER AND USE THE CAMERA FOR INITIAL DESIGN IMAGES WHICH I ENHANCE WITH PHOTOSHOP. WITH THIS CAMERA I CAN USE JUST THE SMALLEST PORTION OF THE IMAGE BLOWN UP 20 OR 30 TIMES WITH GOOD RESULTS. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH ITS' PERFORMANCE.
Update After Using The A650IS For A Few Months April 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an update to my previous review. I've now taken almost 3,000 images with the A650is. Here is what I have found that I like and some things I don't like. The flip out swiveling LCD lets me EASILY take shots that I just could not make with any standard camera DSLR or not!!! Canon when will you make a DSLR with this feature??? The auto focusing works so well so I almost never need to use the manual focusing feature unless I want to lock the focus for several shots. This includes macro work. Well done Canon! The optics appear to be nearly flawless producing extremely sharp images. Minor faults: The mode selection wheel easily (when you are not expecting it) gets rotated from its desired setting to a different position. So you may get a surprise when you start taking pictures and find you are not in the mode you wanted/expected. The exposure mode setting (Evaluative, Center, Spot) does not get saved when you turn the camera off, it always reverts to Evaluative. I usually use spot mode so this is a bit of a pain having to always go reset this. The custom mode can save this setting but it doesn't seem to allow use of this saved setting with the Aperture Mode. The manual could use some improvement in the explanation of the custom mode! The camera still could use some more detail on finish quality. So far no problems with anything but I wonder if the Mode slection wheel, zoom control, and camera mode switch (Take Pictures/Review Pictures) will last as they "feel and operate" cheap. All in all I love this camera!!
