And it's easy to use. Everything about this superb camera has been designed for your picture-taking pleasure. And that makes it fun!
Superior resolution lets you print bigger.
The PowerShot A620 has 7.1 Megapixels that let you shoot with amazing precision. The crisp detail and brilliant true-to-life color is simply amazing. But it's only the beginning, because these high-quality images have the resolution you need to create the larger prints you've always wanted. Plus, the longer, retractable 4x Optical Zoom lens lets you get in close to intimately capture life's small, magical moments.
This LCD Monitor Does the Twist
The PowerShot A620 has a big 2.0 inch LCD screen with an astonishing 115,000 pixels of resolution. So whether you're setting up your shot or playing it back, everything is bright and clear. The vari-angle design lets you swivel the LCD screen 180? to the front of the camera and display either a mirror image or a non-reversed image so you can shoot from just about any position.
Capture the moment in any situation
The PowerShot A620's cleanly integrated grip gives you a comfortable, steady hold. And you can count on exact focus no matter where your subject is in the frame. Plus, you've also got Special Scene Mode that gives you breathtaking, exhilarating pictures even when shooting conditions are tough.
Canon Technology Maximizes Quality and Performance
The PowerShot A620 is powered by Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor. Designed to improve processing speed and image quality, DIGIC II provides markedly faster camera startup, autofocus and playback, plus it assures that every image is more colorfully vibrant.
Shoot high-quality movies
Now A620 enables you to record QVGA (320 x 240), 60 fps movies up to 1 minute. PowerShot A620 also supports the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard, so you'll enjoy the highest possible data transfer speeds when using a USB 2.0 compatible computer. The camera's performance level is high enough to take full advantage of super-high-speed SD memory cards as well.
A variety of accessories to take a better shot
The PowerShot A620 lets you add value and take your photography even further with optional accessories. Wide Converter and Tele Converter lenses prepare you for capturing any shot perfectly while a High-Power Flash doubles your flash range for pro-level illumination.
Note: When using the converter lenses, we recommend using the LCD screen to preview composition and refraining from the use of the built-in flash to avoid harsh shadows in the resulting photos.
The Complete Print Solution
The PowerShot A620's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the A620 to a Canon CP, SELPHY or PIXMA Photo Printer or any PictBridge compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button and print! Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images directly to a computer (Windows and Macintosh).
