Canon PowerShot A630 review

Canon's PowerShot A630 is an 8-megapixel version of its older sibling, the 10-megapixel A640, with an identical design. It's not a great shooter in low light, but otherwise it performs well for its class, with photographer-friendly manual settings and colourful, crisp images. If you're after a solid all-round point-and-shoot, you won't be disappointed Read more
