Editorial Review:
Canon proudly presents the PowerShot A650 IS, a worthy successor to the famous A640. Canons cameras have always stood out from the crowd, but this camera takes that concept to a new level thanks to its powerful zoom and efficient optical image stabiliser! The Power Shot A650IS is fully equipped with an impressive 12.1 megapixel sensor and a 6x optical zoom, allowing you to reframe and print your creations without losing any quality. Its sensitivity has been increased to 1600 ISO to limit the use of the flash indoors. Focusing has never been easier, thanks to the face detection system which is great for your group photos. Among its other features, youll find a large 2.5 TFT screen, an amazing 1 cm macro mode and a range of creative functions, such as the My Colours settings and different shooting modes like programme, aperture and speed priority. There are even manual modes to give you total control over your cameras settings. The PowerShot A650 IS from Canon beats the competition on all fronts and brings digital photography within your reach.

Great camera Bought this from Amazon last Christmas, and used it extensively since. this is a great camera - not the smallest or lightest thing you can buy, but if you're looking for outstanding performance for around £200, then buy this. Build quality is excellent. I've dropped this a couple of times and managed to get it wet once, and had no trouble. I previously had a Canon A640 and a A320 before that. These A series Powershots are great, and this one is the best so far. MY TIP: Buy Energizer Lithium... more info
AA great camera I already owned a Nikon 8700 semi-pro camera but was finding it too heavy (I am disabled and not as fit as I was). I had a very clear idea of what I wanted and did a great deal of web searching before settling on the Canon A650 IS. One thing that has always annoyed me was having to take a charger, cable and spare batteries with me wherever I went. The "A" in "A650" stands for AA - yes, it will run on those cheap, easilly available batteries rather than expensive unique fits. I also wanted a build quality... more info
TERRIFIC CAMERA I purchased this because of my frustration at the difficulty of using my previous point-and-shoot in sunny conditions. There aren't that many cameras around now with viewfinders. The electronic viewfinder on this one is absolutely fine, and the swivel screen is also useful on occasions. Everything else on the camera works very well. The only gripe is opening and closing the battery/SD card compartment - after a month of almost daily use I still find it temperamental. But at this price -it's a fantastic... more info
Great product, great seller I may not know the difference between my pixels and ISOs, but have always been able to recognize a great camera (and picture) when I see one - don't ask me how. Aesthetically, this camera looks and feels very solid indeed, but is nowhere near as big as some reviewers have suggested (in fact, it's just as compact as my former great purchase from amazon - a Fujifilm with 7 million pixels). It is slightly heavier, however, but what do you expect after loading a product with 4 AA batteries? Also, although... more info
