Canon - PowerShotA460 Reviews

This camera (Canon PowerShot A460) is a great camera for beginners!  It is extremely easy to use and not confusing in the least!  I am looking to upgrade soon, but this camera has lasted me about two years.  It was my first camera and I still love it.  There is a 4x digital zoom, a user friendly menu and the buttons are simple.  There is a medium size view screen and the zoom works pretty well.  If you're looking for an amazing zoom feature, this camera may not be for you... but If you're an average camera user that is looking for a simple, easy-to-use and durable camera, you should definitely...

Cannon powershot a470, they didn't have this one on the list so I took the next one down, this one is slilghtly better in that it zooms farther.  You have many options with this camera and the picture is so clear.  With the help of the camera you can choose the type of picture you want to take wether it be a fine detailed picture or a normal looking one.  When taking pictures of small stuff it helps to have the fine options as it can read titles to you more and recognize the small stuff. Another feature is that it has an automatic flash that goes off when your in a certain lighting area, but...

The best thing about the camera is that it uses standard AA batteries.  Cameras that use special batteries are a pain in the neck.  Another good thing is that the battery life is fine.  I have another camera that can only shoot about 10 shots then needs to rest and then can only shoot a few more.  Even if you turn off the flash, the life is short.  This camera is different.

The bad thing is that there is no viewfinder, just a screen.  But most cameras are like this now.

Downloading is average so it would be nice to have an AC adaptor but they are hard to find in any camera.

This is really a great little camera - 5 megapixels, so the pictures aren't grainy.  It is extremely simple to use in the "auto" mode, but also has many features available for manual manipulations. The software that comes with it is very user-friendly, I just have to plug the cord in to the camera and computer, and it practically runs itself. I pretty much always use the auto mode, then do my manipulations in the software program after the fact.  I love the easy review of each picture on the LCD screen after I take it to see if I'll keep that one or not. It takes AA batteries, but I am finding...

The Canon Power A460 is awesome.  It takes really good pictures and is very easy to use.  One thing to get used to is that the on/off button is next to the shutter button so sometimes I hit the wrong button and miss the shot.  It would be nice if this button was not so close.  A lot of the pictures that I take are for mystery shopping trips and I have to resize the pictures to send them to the company but it is very easy.
