Review

The A620 and A610 digital cameras have reduced the autofocus time by an impressive 60% and improved focusing ability by two full stops in low light conditions compared to their predecessor. DIGIC II also makes the most of the cameras’ superb all-glass Canon optics and high resolution CCD sensors to deliver exceptional image quality with vibrant yet natural color, low noise and fine detail.
