Canon PowerShot A620 Review

In August 2005 Canon announced two new A series digital cameras, the five megapixel A610 and seven megapixel A620 on test here. Both cameras replace the long-running, and very popular A95, and join the A520 as affordable, well-specified compacts for the enthusiast user on a budget. The A620 certainly looks promising on paper; newly kitted out with the fast DIGIC II processor and a 2.0-inch vari-angle LCD, it has a wealth of shooting options and 4x optical zoom.

Review : Canon PowerShot A620

This is a 7.1 mega pixel offering with 4x optical zoom, however it is still small enough to fit in a pocket or bag.
