Good for scenery
(AnnMarie - 9/26/07)This is a good camera if you want basic photos of stationary objects. The A620 will give you great scenery shots, still portraits, or even black & whites. I have traveled around the world with the camera and have gotten miraculous shots. It is small but not too small. It has a great comfortable hand grip yet still small enough to hide if necessary. Also the tilt out screen is very handy.
However, I have found this camera struggles in low light situation or action shots. These pictures will be blurry, grainy and unfocused. The shuttle lag is significant. I have attempted to use the kid/pet (no action mode) mode but it has not been affective with speeding up the shutter. The camera is slow to respond.
Last complaint about this camera is after 2 years, the LCD is going out and the lens cover sticks. All these things are easy enough to work around. This camera has a long hard life and endured for the most part.
I would recommend this to any beginning photographer or an intermediate level that is not going to be photographing children or sports
