Hi my name is Richard and I'm looking at the Canon SD630 a camera that is part of the digital elf series or the power shot series and I love this camera. I got it for about $275 from Amazon and I absolutely adore it. Well first specifications its six mega pixel camera with a 3X optical and 4X digital zoom. So you can think zoom in three time without loosing any picture quality and after that the next four times you would loose picture quality coz it'll become more grainy or noisy. So if you're at the concert and you're trying to take pictures of your artist if you're sitting from far away the pictures still won't look as great. So it's better to get close up seats or a better camera. There are some cameras with a 12X optical zoom which is really good but those are a lot of fire price around like the $500-$600 range. Now the camera is very nice looking very slim very small and the biggest attraction is this three-inch LCD screen. The problem with this its finger print magnet. So I definitely recommend the screen protector on it but it's a very nice three-inch LCD screen. Now people say its same resolution as SD600 camera but I personally can tell the difference. So I think it just looks great. Only problem with this the back of the camera is it's the buttons are really small. So if you have small -- big hands you might have look shell pressing the buttons but I present no problem. The camera -- I personally think you don't need six mega pixels in the camera because most of the times you just uploading the pictures to face bigger my space or on-line photo site and then or you just print them up or print them on four by sixes. So if -- (indiscernible) like to print eight and a half by eleven then I recommend this six mega pixel camera but picture -- takes pretty photos. You've got fast memory cards like an SD ultra two by Sanders it's right speeds and high right speeds alike take pictures very quickly. Again the LCD screen is really nice when you play back the photos it's pretty cool you can have transition effects so you fade in fade out or slide in pretty cool. And then the scene modes are pretty straight but it is is you can have like portrait mode auto manual the digital macro likes to really take up really close up pictures of text and still view them very clearly color swap is really cool where you take picture from whatever you're looking at. I mean the color of what you're looking at is what you need the other color in the picture and then you just see a color swap. And then there is a color aspect where you focus on one color and then when you take the picture that color will brighten up and then everything will just be monochrome very cool. You can record videos at the 60 frames per second very nice or 30 frames or 15 frames if you want to make it small the size but less quality and again this camera is very nice I highly recommend it if you want to zoom in more get a better camera obviously but if you're only in for pointing shoot it's a very nice camera I highly recommend it. This is the Canon SD630 and my name is Richard.
