Canon PowerShot A460 5.0MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom (Silver) Reviews
It is an inexpensive camera useful for activities (like river kayaking) that expose it to damage. This is actually a replacement for one that I dropped in a river. If it were more water resistant, it would get the extra star. I find that with it, I can compose pictures better, especially in bright light, saves on battery power and is ready sooner after powering up (which also saves on batteries). A lot of cameras are leaving off the viewfinder. I liked it enough to get an identical one.
It's easy to use and versatile. A good camera for the price. It takes decent photos and videos.
if you are you are looking for better detail something that is high tech and look for a different camera. it is very nice. This camera is exactly what i needed for my intentions. because this is just a common point and shoot and that is what i needed. to be able to take pictures of the dates that my girlfriend and i go on, for camping and fishing.
It would be nicer if it clicked into place more solidly. Otherwise, we're happy with it, like the other Canon cameras we've owned. This Canon is simple to use, takes great pictures and has nice features. The shooting mode selection wheel is somewhat poorly made. I bought this camera to replace a cheap Kodak model which my daughter used for about a year before it broke. It's a good value, especially for a young or casual person to use.
Since I am a craftsman, I am interested in posting pictures of work that I do, and techniques that I use. So far, this camera is very good, the only problem that I see looming in the future is the weak SD card/battery door hinge, that seems like it is too flimsy for the job it has to do. I run Windows 98se, and the software included does not work with this OS,. I looked at the new PowerShot A470, and the main selling point with this one is more megapixels. I wanted something to be able to post pictures on the internet, and I am not interested in printing that much. Also, I plan to get the ac/dc cable to power the camera when downloading images to the computer, using the USB port. but the true test of a digital camera ought to be, that other than cropping and changing the white balance a bit, one should not have to use all sorts of fancy software to get good pictures.
Overall for the money, I am happy with my purchase. Since I generally buy high-tech stuff when it is about to be discontinued, this camera seemed appealing. The A460 has 5 megapixels(more than enough for internet posting), and it also has 2 macro modes which the new A470 does not have. This would eliminate having to open the door to get the SD card out, for my card reader. I've have not used the movie mode yet, but it needs an Apple Quick Time version that does not work with my OS, maybe I can find something else, out there.
