Review: Canon PowerShot A480 digital camera
If you're a tripod-shooter, a steady-handed photographer, or just want a bargain-bin camera with good image quality, the PowerShot A480 is worth a look.
Easy to use. Very good overall image quality
Not many features. No image stabilization. Switching camera modes is slow
Available in black, blue, red, and silver, the boxy PowerShot A480 measures 3.6 by 2.4 by 1.2 inches and weighs 7 ounces. Its lens, whose focal length ranges from 37mm to 122mm (35mm equivalent), retracts into the body when you turn off the camera. ...

I've had this camera for about 2 weeks. The pictures are great if you have decent light. The video quality is decent
This is a point and shoot, plain and simple. Don't expect great results in low light. In a night time stadium setting the results were disapointing. It feels like a low-end camera. Thin and plasticy. The zoom doesn't feel very solid
