 Great camera August 5, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this camera after I gave my Canon A95 to my niece. I loved that camera and knew--after reading the br /reviews here and checking Consumer Reports--that I'd like the A650IS too. It is a heftier camera than my oldbr /A95, but it's also much more capable. I'm not going to give any technical evaluation here because people farbr /more capable than me have already done that. So I'll just give some impressions after a few days of use:br /- This camera is bulkier and heavier than I'd like to carry on a fly fishing trip. But it's not too bulky if I reallybr /wanted to take pictures on such a trip. It'd fit in my fishing vest's pockets. Though, I'd have to re-balancebr /the contents of my pockets due to the extra weight. Perhaps I need a smaller camera for fishing trips.br /- The cover to the battery compartment is trickier to close. One has to take care and not rush the job. br /After all, the compartment's cover is made of a rather thin piece of plastic.br /- I also didn't like the cover for the A/V Out compartment. It just looks cheap and it doesn't always close br /properly for me. Luckily, this cover should only be opened when the camera is attached to something elsebr /and not when my hands are unsteady, anxious to take the next shot.br /- I love the 6x zoom. What a difference this makes over my A95's 3x zoom!br /- I was very pleased with the sharpness of the 2.5 inch LCD viewfinder. I like that it can be tilted--a featurebr /I use a lot.br /- I read a review from CNET, which said that the next shot delay was "an arduous 2.8 seconds"br / Having taken over 100 pictures already, I can say that the camera is ready for the next shot almostbr / instantaneously. I use 8 GB SDHC, Class 6 type memory. Perhaps that makes a difference...br /- The pictures I've taken look great. Then again, I was already impressed with my 5MP A95's pictures.br /- The quality of the video it takes is much better than my old camera's.br /- I'm a novice when it comes to photography, but I love gadgets. This camera has enough featuresbr / built into it so that I'll be busy studying the manual for quite a while.br /br /In conclusion, I like this camera. It's not perfect, but it takes great pictures and videos.br /The imperfections I found so far I can live with or can work around.
 Great specs, poor built quality July 29, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
PowerShot A650IS has very impressive specs and features. Battery life is amazing - 400+ shots on a set of AA rechargeables, very good optics for a point and shoot camera and extremely useful vari-angle LCD. br /br /Unfortunately Canon's marketing push to squeeze 12 MP into 1/1.7 CCD sensor resulted in extensive digital noise on high ISO settings and slow performance. 1/1.7 CCD sensor is probably the biggest of any point and shoot camera on the market today, but 12 MP is too much even for this relatively large sensor. If Cannon would choose to put 7-8 MP on a sensor of this size, they would probably produce the best P/S digital camera ever made.br /br /The build quality of this camera is also below level that one would expect from Canon. The body plastic looks cheap, there are some gaps between body parts, batteries are easily falling out when you try to access the memory card, zoom lever feels loose and it's hard to avoid accidentally pushing menu button when you try to hold the camera with one hand. br /br /Two A650IS that I received from Amazon had one burned/stuck CCD pixel clearly visible on every picture taken with the cameras when viewed on a computer, so I had to return them. When I asked if it'd make sense to try to get another replacement, I got the following answer from Amazon: "...As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are not able to send another replacement. We will gladly refund you in full for the return of this item..." br /While it could be just a standard customer support answer to a second replacement request, it could also indicate the real widespread problem with burned/stuck pixes on this camera model and poor quality control @ Canon.br /I did contact Canon tech support and I was told that burned CCD pixels are not normal (even one of them) and that I should send it to Canon for a warranty repair.br /br /Quality issues aside, this camera takes excellent pictures in the good lighting conditions and most of the times, with its built in flash, just don't count on it to produce anything useful above and sometimes even at ISO400.

I just recieved the Canon A650is. My first impression is CHEAP.it is not well made, the technology is there but the exterior does not inspire. I have not had it long enough to critique its performance. br /Returned camera, good pics bad build
 Amazing camera with one caveat July 25, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've used this camera for over six months and have found it to be flawless. It gives far more control and options that most cameras in this class, almost equal to a basic DSLR. At max resolution (make sure it's set to that) the images are amazing for this class, given the type and size of the camera. br /br /Why didn't I give it five starts? Because the shutter lag is quite long, much more noticeable that in some other PowerShots. For example, I've compared with the A630 and A720IS, and this camera takes significantly longer to squeeze off the first shot after tripping the shutter. So, this camera really doesn't work as well for action shots or momentary opportunities or "quick draw" shots as some of the other PowerShots. br /br /As long as you keep that limitation in mind, though, it's a superb camera.
Canon Powershot is worth the money July 23, 2008

I bought this camera to replace my Canon A95. Since the A95 is obsolete, I had to find the next best thing and the A650 proved to be it. It has better zoom and I couldn't do without the flip out LCD viewfinder. br /br /It is a little bulky and heavy like everyone says but I don't mind it so much. The picture quality is awesome and the image stabilization really makes a difference in low light conditions when I don't want to use the flash. There's also a cool feature that auto detects faces and sets the focus appropriately. It can also detect multiple faces. I'm happy with mine.
