Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Blue)
Customer Review: I LOVE this little camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
Researched and researched cameras until I was researched OUT! Saw this little jewel and decided (based on other reviews) I should try it. SOOOOO glad I did! Human-friendly camera, easy to use, GREAT pics and just what else could you ask for? Oh yeah....was at a GREAT price. Got an HP camera a couple years ago, cost much more and wasn't anywhere as user-friendly as this one. Plus, it kept "eating" batteries so couldn't keep it working. Eveyone that has seen this one and the pics taken are astounded by them. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, easy to use camera that will delight you with beautiful results of your efforts....BUY THIS ONE!!!!Customer Review: Perfect Camera For Child/Pre-teen
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this camera for our 8 year-old and she loves it. Easy enough for her to use, but not cheap like kid cameras usually are. The software and photo quality are top notch.
Yes, it goes through batteries quickly, I HIGHLY recommend the powerful eneloop rechargables for this camera. Also, get a 2GB or 4GB card when purchasing this camera or just lower the mega-pixels to 3 or 5.
Pros:
Price!
Large screen
Good movie mode
Nice software
Easy to Use
Great photos
Common batteries
SD Card
Cons:
Uses batteries quickly
No Image Stabilization
Customer Review: All round solid camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is a great buy. It has tons of features and takes quality pictures. Specifically, my wife and I really like the microphone and speaker that are built into the camera - picks up sound well for videos and also makes it very easy to review AND HEAR videos on the camera. The menus are intuitive too and easy to navigate. Overall, this camera is an excellent purchase. By the way, it comes with a 32MB SD card, which is basically worthless when each 7MP shot is just under 2MB. So, remember to pick up larger SD card (2GB seems to be working pretty well for us currently - haven't tried an HDSC card yet).Customer Review: Very intuitive
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera for my 14 year old son to take on school trips. His previous camera from another manufacturer lasted barely six months and took mediocre photos. This camera however is awesome! The pictures are sharp, perfectly exposed and the camera is really simple to use. Seems the menus are designed for regular people to understand. He appreciated that a lot.
The bottom line is he had one day to learn how to use the camera and then spent a week in Boston with his class. His photos were great and his camera experience was excellent...and I didn't break the bank for to purchase it either :)
Customer Review: Perfect for non-technical people
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a camera for my mom's birthday that was extremely simple to operate, but still took good pictures. She's very non-technical and doesn't even own a computer. This camera turned out to completely fit the bill. There are very few features, which makes the learning curve pretty short. Macro capabilities are pretty nice and unexpected, which my mom loves so she'll be able to take pictures of her flowers this spring.
For someone who needs a basic camera that "just works", this is it. If you need anything more than the basics, you'll need to look elsewhere.
