Canon PowerShot A470 (Red) review

Inexpensive; fast performance.

Noisy pictures; chunky design.

The Canon PowerShot A470 is one of the best examples of this trend. For the money, the Canon PowerShot A470 is a great digital camera. Canon tries to give the A470 a much-needed injection of style by offering four color choices: gray, blue, red,...

Canon PowerShot A470

By Donald Malouf

This bargain-priced, no-frills camera offers very good image quality.

High-quality images for a rock-bottom price, Fast shutter speed

No image stabilization, Too thick to put in your pocket

All in all, the A470 is a good no-frills camera at a rock-bottom price, with an easy learning curve. If a three-year-old can take good pictures with the Canon PowerShot A470, you can, too

The 7.1-megapixel A470 is very inexpensive ($130), so I don't have to worry about the damage a toddler might do to it. The A470's optical zoom tops out at 3.4X, but even working with that limited range I managed to capture some great playground...

Canon Powershot A470 Camera

By Donald Malouf

My three-year-old son thinks he's Ansel Adams, so it's important for me to buy a camera that works for him as well as for me. The Canon PowerShot A470 fits the bill.

Quality images for a rock-bottom price Fast shutter speed

No image stabilization Too thick to put in your pocket

All in all, the A470 is a good no-frills camera at a rock-bottom price, with an easy learning curve. If a three-year-old can take good pictures with the Canon PowerShot A470, you can, too

The 2.5-inch LCD screen on the PowerShot A470 satisfied me and my son; both of us could clearly see the images we captured. The 7.1-megapixel A470 is very inexpensive ($130), so I don't have to worry about the damage a toddler might do to it. The...

Review: Canon PowerShot A470 compact digital camera

By Chris Coleman

The A470 is one of the smallest and cheapest point-and-shoots in Canon's PowerShot line. Do its pictures transcend its price?

Excellent image-quality, cool design, smooth interface, broad ISO range.

Slow image-processing, no manual mode.

The Canon PowerShot A470: Design - Very good The PowerShot A470 is a slick-looking camera. Otherwise the camera feels great, and unlike the higher-end PowerShot A cameras, it isn't burdened with a dumpy, chintzy-looking style. Interface / Software...

Canon PowerShot A470 Review

By David Rasnake

Ok, I'll admit it. The Canon PowerShot A470 is far from the smallest camera on the market, and it's certainly not the sexiest. In spite of all this, when it was announced at PMA this year I'll also have to admit that I was impressed with how much new stuf...

Sharp lens - even at the corners, Fast AF and imperceptible shutter lag, No nasty image quality surprises, Is there a more user friendly camera?

Awkward/odd zoom control, Weak battery life numbers, Flash recycle times still an issue, Sadly, no IS

Canon PowerShot A470 Digital Camera - Express Review - The Imaging Resource!

By Stephanie Boozer

Compact and easily portable, the Canon PowerShot A470 is another confident, capable digital camera from this market leader. Offering 3.4x optical zoom, a large 2.5-inch LCD monitor, and 7.1-megapixel CCD, the PowerShot A470 features the ease of a point-an...

The 3.4x optical zoom lens offers just slightly more zoom than standard digital cameras, covering a range equivalent to 38-132mm on a 35mm camera. In addition to the 3.4x optical zoom, the Canon A470 also offers a maximum of 4x digital zoom, though it doe...
