CNET Review
The Good: Excellent feature set for its class; great image quality; easy to use.
The Bad: Flimsy covers for SD slot, as well as DC and A/V connectors; center Function button is a little stiff; not as fast as some competitors.
The Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot A620's above-average feature set and great photo quality should make it as popular as the A95.
