Canon PowerShot A470 7MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gray) Reviews
I can carry it around in my purse and have it on hand for spontaneous shots. The fact that it uses regular batteries is a blessing and a curse.
I'm really pleased I got this one and not a more pricey version. At least if it runs out and your on vacation and out and about you can buy batteries anywhere instead of having to wait until you can charge it. I have my Rebel SLR for high ed use and this for everyday.
But the downside is that they seem to get used up fairly quickly. I could not be happier with this camera, and you certainly can't beat it for the price. The screen is surprisingly large for a small camera and the quality of the photos is fabulous.
Stay away from the "Format" section - this will delete all your pictures. A really great camera,for a first time user. Also, you will need to buy a new memory card, preferably a 1G, as the one that comes with the camera only holds about 15 pictures. It is easy to use although it takes a little while to get used to how to operate and select the features. It will be good to buy a camera case as it doesn't come with one and you will need something to protect your camera as you carry it around. But other than these need to know tips you will enjoy using this camera.
For the price, and size, it really can not be beat. I have to say, this camera takes INSANELY good quality pictures.
The LCD view screen is great. This machine gets rid of the viewfinder, which rarely ever gets used due to their inaccurate nature, and leaves out other frilly features that would only cause issues or break in the future.
As long as you don't beat up on it, it should give you many years of reliable, quality use. I have had very good experience with my history f owning Canon cameras, and this one is as rugged as it should be.
I am a fan of Canon Products, and this camera reassures me that I can keep trusting them when it comes to digital photography. Simple to use, lasts days and days on the batteries, and uses SD memory cards (which my laptops have readers built in for, making it very convenient).
Big, and beautiful.
You can't see full screen pics by setting the view mode to "View All" so it sucks having to see them smaller or you can do the full screen but then it sets to one-by-one. It's a hassle changing these modes. And the worse part is the batteries. In all, it's definitely not the kind of camera I'd stick with me for the rest of my life.
I had to buy a Duracell battery charger and even duracell can't last that long before I have to charge it again. And the modes that don't darken your picture, the blurry shows so you have to hold the camera very steady. In that long time, I might buy a new one soon.
So it eats up a lot of power from the batteries. It's what you get for paying cheap for a camera. I didn't like the modes that it had that sometimes darken your pictures.
There's also a choice of it not being blurry even if you're shaking it, but in that case, the camera is slower to take pics and load, and/or would have to be placed back to darken mode. I end up having to charge it over just for using it a few hours.
This camera is loaded with features. Great camera for the price. And I love that you don't have to wait forever between shots.
