Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gray)
Customer Review: Very good picture quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I liked this Canon PowerShot camera. I bought this camera based on the fabulous customers' reviews in Amazon.com. Recently I had to take some pictures in a house without any lights in a cloudy late afternoon. This camera gave me very clear pictures with its flash in this type of environment. As long as you position your camera towards the object and hold it steady, you will get a very sharp picture with the automatic flash even you could not see the target clearly with your eyes.
I used to have a Fuji FinePix S3000 I bought from a local store based on a salesperson's recommendation. This was a very stupid camera with a heavy and big body and gave shady pictures. The camera broke somehow last year. I will never buy Fuji camera again.
I had a analog-type Canon PowerShot camera before and I think I liked that old camera.
I would buy Canon PowerShot cameras again If necessary.
Customer Review: Great camera for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera for my parents in India after a lot of research. Main usage of this camera for them would be at home. I initially looked for kodak easy share which also had great reviews for beginners. But then a CANON is a CANON. Though it is not that sleek and light weight, it has most of the features my own canon SD 750 has. I put a 2GB card in it and its all set.
The only thing i am disappointed at is that we cannot use canon re-chargeable batteries in this. But a AA battery recharger would definitely solve the issue.
I ordered it from Amazon on thanksgiving and it arrived on the estimated delivery date. I am very pleased with Amazons delivery schedules.
Overall, I am satisfied with this camera and would recommend it for anyone looking for a branded camera, with good features, at a reasonable price.
Customer Review: Excenent little point and shoot.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read a reviewer in PC world who said " My 3 year old son can take pictures with this cammera". He was right. I put in automatic mode, and concentrate soley on composition now. The camera works supriseingly well in very low light stuatuions, if the light is below a certin level, the flash automaticaly fires. I have only scrathed the surface of the capabilities of this cammera. AND it was only a few dollars over 100 $. It's only drawback?, I only get about 70 shots from duracel battiers, other brands give me less that 35 shots. Also the incuded memeory chip will only let you take 12 pictures, buy a 4 or 8 gigabyte card as soon as the cammera arives. Either should give more than 500 shots in memeory.Customer Review: Excellent Camera for Young Children
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased a Canon A470 for my granddaughter on her fourth birthday. I was uncertain whether or not a child of this age could use a digital camera, but she had no trouble at all (except for chopping off heads for the first hour). Very young children can really only point and shoot, and will need help with zoom and other features, but this camera is wonderful for small hands. Its many features will make it useful as the child grows and skills develop. We now have many puppy pictures, but we also have macros of violets growing in the woods as her view of the world expands. I highly recommend starting children with this camera.Customer Review: Perfect Starter Camera for Older Child
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my oldest son on his 11th birthday. Within a week he had figured out so many features and probably knows more about his camera than most adults do. In the past six months, he has taken wonderful pictures, tons of movies (which sucks the batteries dry) and has had a great time. This little camera has held up despite his younger siblings getting hold of it several times.
I researched a lot before buying this camera and I don't regret it a bit. AND, I am glad I bought it when I did! I paid $89 and it's now selling for $149.
