Truly good picture qualityI liked this Canon PowerShot camera. I bought this camera based on the super customers' reviews in Amazon.com. Recently I had to take some pictures in a bagnio without any lights in a cloudy late afternoon. This camera gave me precise clear pictures with its flash in this type of conditions. As long as you position your camera towards the object and expand on it steady, you will get a very sharp picture with the ineluctable flash even you could not see the target clearly with your eyes.
I old to have a Fuji FinePix S3000 I bought from a city store based on a salesperson's recommendation. This was a very lumpish camera with a heavy and big body and gave shady pictures. The camera on the skids somehow last year. I will never buy Fuji camera another time.
I had a analog-type Canon PowerShot camera before and I think I liked that old camera.
I would buy Canon PowerShot cameras once more If necessary.
Suggestible to use.
Wonderful pocket size camera. Most desired features rest on more expensive cameras. Handy, conenient to cary. Save value.
A extraordinary camera, there's only one shortcoming that I can think of.

Unconditional review:
I purchased this camera right before leaving for a extensive trip abroad. I expected it to be a wonderful camera for taking all those pictures of my vacation. It not did disappoint me and it produced wonderful results, some of which do in point of fact look very artistic. I have a friend who's a professional photographer, and he did honour some of the pictures that I took. It really never inferior me.
The first major thing that other reviewers upon is the design of this beauty. It's very well-designed and isn't homely at all. It sure isn't as slim as some other cameras, but I think that the judge is just right, the buttons aren't hard to press and it has that psychic Canon interface that allowed me to take my first pictures of my vacation rectify after I left the airport.
I bought Energizer Rechargeable Batteries for use with them, and they mostly lasted for about 4-5 days of average tourist use - this means taking a picture every 5-10 meters. I don't use glitter as I only took pictures in daylight, when sightseeing and Dick transportation networks were functional. The battery life is huge.
I only had one issue with the battery life. I always had the camera in my bundle, and it did get turned on somehow and remained on till the batteries were waste a couple of times. This actually prevented me taking any pictures of one of the most pretty towns that I have been to, which is a real have compassion. It was on a weekend and I couldn't find any place where I can find some batteries. I deliberate on that Canon should add a functionality that will prevent the camera from staying on for too extended.
Another issue that I had with this Camera was the experience that it takes grainy pictures when the light is destitute. This means that most pictures taken in the foul will be somewhat grainy. I don't think that it's a real consequence as taking pictures of ghosts isn't one of my hobbies, but it still is something to gauge.
Another thing to consider is the level of the details. When you download your to the greatest-resolution pictures to your computer, open them in an dead ringer viewer, and zoom in to 200-400% you will notice that the pictures can be grainy. This isn't that large when you're editing those pictures in Photoshop, but this isn't a genuine issue if you're not a professional photographer or a hobbyist. You can not the pictures from this camera to be as frangible as those coming from a Nikon D3 after all.
All my customer images on Amazon were infatuated using this camera, you can see how great this camera in fact is.
I took thousands of pictures with this camera and it's in addition going strong. I think that it will really offer me well for my needs for years to come. I am not a photographer, and all that I am interested in is irresistible pictures of the places that I go to, family, and friends. This camera does that, does it ably, and comes at a great price. It's unbeatable in this price orbit. It's a great camera for a student like me.
It really helped me corroborate my vacation and gave me more than two thousands pictures of true beauty. I am really grateful for that.
A470
Pros: Takes warm-hearted quality pictures.
As far as it being noisy, it is a bit noisy when you trend it on, and when you adjust the lens, but i didn't think it was bad at all.
Cons: I don't contemplate its heavy at all, but of course it isn't a really slim camera either.
Condensation: The delete button could have been marked well-advised, as it has a diagram on it but not of the usual trash can. The trash can icon is directly under the cut button. My older dad, who's not so techy figured it out pretty quick but i motionless don't care for that particular thing.When your looking at the shelter sometimes its a bit fuzzy or spotty but its great in macro if you hold the shutter handle for a second or so. And the quality is never spotty or fuzzy, just the wall off isn't perfect at times. Sometimes is great. But no major problems with it in the final analysis. More on the noise quality: I don't even think it would wake a sleeping babe. There is no other noise except when the lens adjusts. You can upset all the other sounds off via the menu. Its not that heavy, but i suggest on any camera if you can to coerce sure it's the fit for your hands and to make sure that it isnt to gloomy for you.
Takes nice pictures, the video is good too. Not heavy. Mellifluous easy to use, for those not that tech savvy.
girlfriend it
Lastly broke down and bought a digital camera, and this is a adept one to get. I am only a beginner and don't like editing and fine tuning things, so this is excellent. Compact, takes great photos. Would recommend it to Dick. And I love the orange color!!!
