Comments about Canon Powershot A650IS 12.1mp Digital Camera:
I write magazine articles and books about antique firearms. As I hate writing and love photography, I substitute my detailed close up photos for tens of thousands of words. 30 years ago I used Leicas, Rolleis and Hasselblads. Eventually I migrated to Nikon Fs. For a few years, when I made the transition to digital,I used an expensive Nikon SLR.
I bought this little Canon with the intention of using it to supplement my Nikon, but after studying the results, I've been using it exclusively and gave the Nikon digital SLR to my wife who writes books about native plants.
Its 12 meg ability is more than enough for the most demanding publisher. The only improvement I would like would be the ability to take macro photos at it longest lens setting.
This is my first purchase from Abe's of Maine. I was very pleased with the price and their extremely fast shipping.

large zoom helps getting closeups of people
more than enough megapixels, great for cropping
easy to handle, not as large/bulky as expected considering all its features
