DC Resource reviewed the 6 megapixel Canon PowerShot SD630 and indicate that while it’s not perfect it’s a good choice for those who want the largest possible LCD. They continue to write - “Photo quality was very good for the most part, though I did encounter some issues that are common on ultra-compact cameras like the SD630. First, the good news: the camera took well-exposed, colorful photos with Canon’s trademark smooth look. Noise levels were low through ISO 200, and even photos taken at the ISO 400 setting (in good light) should turn into decent smaller-sized prints. Purple fringing was well controlled. The bad news is that there was some vignetting (dark corners) and blurry corners in my real world photos, and redeye was a big problem as well. All three of those issues are fairly common on ultra-compact cameras.” What I liked: * Very good photo quality (though see issues below) * Huge 3-inch LCD; screen is easily viewable in low light * Compact and stylish metal body * Very good performance * AF-assist lamp * Four-way controller doubles as scroll wheel in playback mode (though it’s too small in my opinion) * Very good movie and continuous shooting modes (though see issue below) * Unique My Colors, focus point review features * USB 2.0 High Speed support
What I didn’t care for: * Some corner softness and vignetting; redeye is a problem * Below average battery life * No optical viewfinder * Can only record about 8 minutes of VGA video due to 1GB file size limit * More manual controls would be nice * Can’t swap memory cards while camera is on a tripod * Flimsy cover over memory card/battery compartment * Tiny memory card included
