All in all a really great camera for the price. I am surprised at the sharp quality of the photos and I haven't even begun to fool around with all it's features. Should keep me busy for some time to come. No regrets here.

This review will be more of a first impressions rather than a standard review. Because I purchased the camera as a gift for my daughter, I was only able to take one picture with it to test it. The A610 is supposedly the replacement for the A95. That camera had a reputation for taking high quality pictures. There is no reason to think that the A610 will not take as good if not better pictures than the A95. My previous experience with Canon digital cameras is the Powershot G2 and the Digital Rebel SLR. The A610 feels very light and delicate when compared to those cameras. Although it is small, the large grip makes it easy to hold onto. The placement of the buttons and adjustments is similar to other Canon digital cameras which makes it easy to operate if you previously owned a Canon camera. There is no diopter adjustment. So, the image in the viewfinder might not be clear for everyone. People who use the LCD screen won't care about that. I like the fact that the camera uses AA batteries. I purchased 4 Powerex NiMH batteries along with a high quality charger to go with the camera, but being able to pop in 4 alkaline batteries in a pinch is a big plus. The supplied 16MB SD memory card is too small to be of much use, but I didn't list that as a weakness because I always assume a larger memory card will be needed with every new camera. The LCD screen is similar to the one on my old G2. It can be rotated at any desired angle as well as flipped completely around. I used to elevate the G2 over people's heads in a crowd and rotate the LCD screen toward me: a very handy feature. The A610 is sort of an in-between size camera. It is too large to fit in one's pocket, but is nonetheless quite small and lightweight. Overall, I would consider the A610 to be a great camera for someone getting their first digital camera. It is also a good alternative for someone who cannot afford the higher price tags of the Canon G series cameras but who still wants a camera that takes good pictures and has a lot of options. I suspect that the A610 and its companion A620 will become big sellers for Canon.

This is a great Camera and we got a great price from Amazon. It is very easy to use. Seems to be very well constructed. And of course best of all it takes great pictures. I think Cannon makes the best digital cameras.
