awesome camera
on August 31, 2009
Posted by: picture happy
I bought this camera last summer as a packaged deal with 2 lens and absolutely love it. I hardly ever even use my telephoto lens because the macro setting is so great. User friendly and takes outstanding pictures.
Pros: easy to use, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Good Low-Light Performance, Lightweight/Portable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Ever

from Bremeton wa
I have been a photographer since I was 17, now I am 59. I have had MANY different cameras and always come back to Canon. I have a large digital Rebel which I used a lot however I use my powershot 650 far more than any camera I have ever used. It takes wonderful movies as well. I love it and recommend it to everyone. It does almost everything anyone wants. Aside from interchangeable lens. If you would perfect that I sure would not complain!
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Good Low-Light Performance, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, durable

BEST POWERSHOT EVER
on December 9, 2008
Posted by: Rhob
from Glendale CA USA
I have used this camera and I think it is the best point and shoot advanced model that Canon has ever made.
I don't know why the stopped producing it.
For night shots: excellent. As long as you remain steady you can get nice clear shots on Nightshot menu.
For regular AUTO shots it is clear beyond imagination.
I don't use the high iso speeds too often but when I do there is not alot of noise. The clarity of the pictures is beyond description. I will keep this camera as long as it works.
ONe thing I will add is that canon has not put the swivel lcd monitor on its newer model. This is something that I miss. The a650 has this and it is indeed a good idea. YOu have less chance of scratching the screen or marring it.
I bought this camera as a back up to my dslr.
The dslr is too bulky to carry around for everyday stuff. I like to have a camera handy at all times so this comes in as the best runner up to my dslr.
Cheers

Best compact camera
on December 16, 2008

I have used SLR cameras for over 25 years for general photography and intra-oral photography. This Canon camera has matched and many times exceeded my expectations. The pictures look beautiful on my web site. l do not understand why Canon has discontinued this product. The flip screen is invaluable for overhead photos. Now the Canon line jumps from 10 Mp to 14.7MP and only 2 cameras with the vari-angle screen. I think Canon should once again clone the G10 as they did the G9 in the form of an A-series camera.
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Good Low-Light Performance, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, durable
Cons: none

I am in love with the quality of the pictures. It has tons of options for you to get creative and try something new while taking pictures.
The only negative is the size of the camera itself, but other then that i would recommend this camera to everyone.

Great Camera IF it continued to work!

I bought the camera in November of 2007, and as soon as it had passed by the warranty date I began having problems. The switch to go from picture mode to viewing the pictures stopped working, then button to take the photos started only working intermittently. I love the features of this camera, but functionally it is slowly but surely become useless as various parts of it break and it is out of warranty.
Pros: Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality
Cons: Heavy/Bulky, Flimsy Construction, parts break on it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
