Canon Powershot A630 Review 

I have an SX170. Can I put c HD k on it?

Awww so cool of you to spend the holiday hanging out with the channel!

The whole A line are so similar and prolific and I love that they’re still readily available. Thanks for watching!

@@OneMonthTwoCameras Glad you mentioned CHDK, I mainly used it for HDR Bracketing (everyone had that "phase" I guess...) and also Time-lapse photography for StarTrails, It really gave the camera "Pro" features that were missing... You didn't mention the 1cm Macro which is Amazing! 🤩 I now shoot with the G5X-II and it's only 5cm which is meh... kinda miss the 1cm. Have a great weekend!

It had good quality optics as well 👍

I had the a610 when it came out. Its very fast and i belive its probably the best from the series. I put the CHDK program on it.

Tack Alex!! 🙏🏻

🤪💕🙏🏻

That is awesome!! Enjoy!!

Thank you!!

Thank you Jordan!

😂😂

It’s crazy! So expensive. Enjoy CHDK!!

S95 is the best ccd camera you can buy. I have 2 of them and sold all my other compacts because of it.

Haha! I always saw myself as a Laura.

Yeah dust spots can be a bigger but am shocked by how infrequently I encounter them given how many cameras I try.

Interesting!! Appreciate your thoughts.

💗 love that

Aww thanks!! I was definitely bringing all my retro vibes for this one 😂

I missed the 630 and though I discovered the chdk I never use it because I’m lazy. The highlight latitude is a little surprising. My DSLRs from that period clip the highlights really bad. Good review and I will say that the interface on this one and some of the other A series is pretty good.

Happy Friday! Best of luck grabbing one. Have fun!!

@@OneMonthTwoCameras will do fam

It's so fun and really holds up!

Thank you ! What would you recommend for a cheap digicam with retro/vintage pictures (my first) ? 👀

@@helo2729 Depends what you consider “cheap”. I would stick with the Canon Powershot G or S series. The S30-S70, which are smaller versions of the G1-G6, not the SD ELPH cameras people are overpaying for. The Fujifilm FinePix A series starting with the A610. The E550 and F series are not cheap these days. Or the early Panasonic LUMIX FX and LX series, which are basically Leica C-Lux and D-Lux cameras for a fraction of the price. The rest are all hit or miss with a lot more miss IMO

I just picked up a Canon A650 for £19.99 in my local charity shop, so you can still pick them up fairly reasonable if you look around.

​@@helo2729I just recently started picking up the picture taking big again and it was receiving a free Panasonic "Leica Lens" Lumix model DMC-LC33 as my workplace stopped using it and went with an iPad . It or any of the lower megapixel point and shoot but they are usually $5 to $15 each. The catch is these use MB SD cards not GB cards. I now own 5 or so older of this style and only the Panasonic let's me use a Gigabyte SD card. The others say "card error". Have to specify MB SD card to maximum I believe 2gb or expect problems. The earliest Canon PowerShot series can be bought really cheap however they require Flashcard or Compact Flash 1 and the matching battery which aren't always cheap. Another issue is the auto focus mechanism on these are made of hair thickness plastic and eventually jam or break, so try to not be continuing to power up and down making the lens pop frequently. They are difficult to find ppl to repair it. Be cautious about buying "Minolta" brand as the plastic used to make them breaks if you breathe on them too hard. Nice looking but they break easily.

Aw that is the best!! 🪩

@@OneMonthTwoCameras side note: you look stunning in this video! i'm a fan of your work and hope you keep it coming

@@_guillermo aww thank you!! 🥰

Thank you!!

200 USD+

Oh I haven’t tried it! I’ll take a look.

Good old Lightroom! You can see a full video of my post process here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UQYCLuV6P9o.html

Photos being blurred has less to do with the camera and more to do with the settings you dial in. If you zone focus with a fast shutter speed and deep depth of field with F5.6 on a small sensor, you’ll be fine with any camera that has manual capabilities. However having a camera with higher ISO capabilities allows you to work with higher shutter speeds in more challenging light so something like the later Canon G or S models or Panasonic LX line up or Ricoh GRs are a better suited digicam for street.

@@OneMonthTwoCameras i understand, so i can set shutter time on the camera? i know it sounds weird but im unable because of internet connection to watch video and i wonder what is possible shutter time on this thing

@@anemiaenemy for street you just want to shoot at 1/250 or above which you can do on any camera that has shutter priority or manual. This camera has both.

Don’t be limited by the model number. Most of the Powershot A series are remarkably similar and looking around should find you one for $20 with patience and research.
