Another Canon Powershot A650 IS Review posted this week came from DigitalCameraReview.com
Canon’s new top-of-the-line camera features 12.1 megapixels, 6X optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer Technology, and Canon’s latest generation DIGIC III Image Processor with enhanced Face Detection Technology.

"When I reviewed my last A-series camera, the A570 IS, my gripes with it were that Canon had basic and advanced camera guides instead of a single guide, and the battery cover was difficult to close and felt a little flimsy. The A650 IS has a single guide, and while the battery cover is still a little difficult to close, it feels more substantial. There’s not much to dislike with the A650 IS."
