Big mortificationBought this behind schedule my Kodak EasyShare bit the dust. Everyone raved about Canons, so I small amount I'd give it a try. Now, I'm dying to go back to Kodak! This camera takes waaaaay too lengthy to charge the flash between each shot, then waaaaay too prolonged to focus on the subject, and then there's another second postponement after you hit the button. Trying to capture "the moment" with my kids is ludicrous! Or even with group shots I find myself apologizing, "Countenance on...it's still charging...hold that smile...trying to fuzzy...not ready yet..." It takes about 5-10 seconds to precept the flash between each shot. Which, when population are waiting, or when your kids are running around, is an everlastingness. Action shots are impossible -- always blurred. And I protection't been too impressed with the color quality either.
And NOW I'm having plague with it saying I need new batteries every time I manner it on. Even after I put brand-new batteries in it. I've only had this camera 7 months, and I'm perceptive to throw it at the wall.
Bottom line: This camera is way too torpid, and the quality of the pictures is only so-so. It's more trouble than it's good.
DONT buy this camera
this camera has selfsame poor durability, the shooting modes are all the same. This camera has destroyed on me twice, do not buy this camera! This is a waste of money,and it is way overpriced! Canon should be chagrined of this camera!! I'm sick of it saying "Lens fault, restart camera"
Canon PowerShot A480
I purchased camera already vacation. It was easy to use, my family really liked the camera. The quotation paid was reasonable.
Batteries dont' end
Camera is profit for picture quality and ease of use - this is my 3rd canon powershot - battery life is base. I take several pictures - upload them - then keep out the camera off - in 1 and half weeks of not using it- batteries are dead - I can't keep dark prevent batteries in camera or they drain quickly.....I would not subscribe to this camera and now I have to purchase another camera, and I won't be purchasing powershots anymore.
Tip - CAMERA SWITCHES ON EASILY AND WILL RUIN LENS!
This camera would be abundant, except for a fatal flaw! It commonly switches on inside the users' Mammon, pocket ect, this causes the lens to jam and then the camera does not trade properly and makes a horrible grinding noise while turning on. In the rear this event there are spots in the picture, you cannot use the zoom high point properly, and the camera continuously errors out reporting the lens cannot be closed. This has happened to my keep twice! The first time Amazon kindly replaced the camera, but he has yet to choose what to do about the second time. This has also happened to me, excluding my lens was not damaged, thankfully. This really would be a significant camera if not for this problem. The on switch should be a dial you arrange to turn, not a pressure sensitive button.
The camera otherwise takes respected photos, pretty easy to use, decent battery life ect. But above, can't recommend something that self destructs within minutes of acquisition.
