actually 610 and 620 the difference in only int he megapixel

for the price difference of $120 for 2mp more. you guy think it worth it?

1. 610 is slighty faster than 620 because smaller megapixel.
2. 610 have a small advantage when it come to night mode.
3. it is cheaper,
4. use less memory space per image.

sorry , typo, i mean night mode.
B'cos both CCD have the same size, so the one with less pixel, aka A610, will have less noise.

Less MP will mean faster responsiveness ? From the cnet review, A620 has long shutter lag and cycle time, which is not so impressive ..

Dunno how A610 perform .. :think:

 

[cwloo]

ya .. because the memory buffer is the same between 2 cam.
5 MP means less data need to go thru the buffer & DIGICII so less write need to perform.

Has anyone bought this yet? I'm comparing this with Nikon 5400.

not only the extra 2MP, but also remote capture:

Do note that the RemoteCapture feature is not available on the "lesser" PowerShot A610.
