Nice little camera for travel
I love this camera. It is compact, fits nicely in your hand, with a comfortable grip. I carried it all around Italy, with just the strap around my wrist and it hanging loosely in my hand. The swivel monitor is great for getting hard to reach shots, like over peoples heads, or around a corner or over a balcony. You can always see what you're pointing at in the monitor, even if you can't see it with your eyes!

Canon Powershot A620 - Great Camera!
I've had MANY digital cameras over the years... probably 11 digital camera's since 1999.

Awesome Camera
This is the best $300 camera there is, hands down. If you really need a higher ISO camera, there's a new Cannon that does it, but since it has the same CCD as the A620, it's just opening up an entire world of pain for you (in low light settings, color noise goes up exponentially as it gets darker) that you might be tempted to take advantage of. Don't. I play with light settings constantly, and often settle on ISO400, since it seems to take the best pictures, but when you come back home and look at it on the camera, it's noticeably very noisy. Love this camera. It gives the perfect mix of automated camera settings and the power to play with everything. I am pretty picky when it comes to how the light looks in my photos, so I love how I can set certain settings fixed (like aperture or exposure) and then let the camera figure out the rest, letting me create exactly the kind of effect I want for a series of shots without having to spend a minute fiddling with the camera before each one. Auto mode is kind of all-right, but generally I set the camera once for a certain light level, and then leave it in fixed aperture or fixed exposure mode for the duration I'm at a place.
