Digital camera Review: Canon PowerShot A460
Summary: 4 Stars

Since I generally buy high-tech stuff when it is about to be discontinued, this camera seemed appealing. I wanted something to be able to post pictures on the internet, and I am not interested in printing that much.
Since I am a craftsman, I am interested in posting pictures of work that I do, and techniques that I use.
I looked at the new PowerShot A470, and the main selling point with this one is more megapixels.
The A460 has 5 megapixels(more than enough for internet posting), and it also has 2 macro modes which the new A470 does not have.
I run Windows 98se, and the software included does not work with this OS,
but the true test of a digital camera ought to be, that other than cropping and changing the white balance a bit, one should not have to use all sorts of fancy software to get good pictures.
So far, this camera is very good, the only problem that I see looming in the future is the weak SD card/battery door hinge, that seems like it is too flimsy for the job it has to do. Also, I plan to get the ac/dc cable to power the camera when downloading images to the computer, using the USB port. This would eliminate having to open the door to get the SD card out, for my card reader.
I've have not used the movie mode yet, but it needs an Apple Quick Time version that does not work with my OS, maybe I can find something else, out there. Overall for the money, I am happy with my purchase.

If I had realized how grainy and so much like the original digital cameras from the late 90s this was, I would never have purchased it. I based my decision to buy on the price and the reviews, but this camera is not suitable for anything more than a child. The pictures remind me of the square first digital cameras that came out and the grain is like the Disc cameras from the 1980s. NOT a good purchase. Pay a tiny bit more and get a Sony or another model than this one for an outstanding picture.

The user-friendly site allowed me to purchase a last minute digital camera at a great price ($99) in literally two clicks. The camera arrived the very next day. I was stunned. The camera has many options and modes and neat little tools. Reading its manual is a must though.

Digital camera Review: Canon without a doubt the leader in digital cameras
Summary: 5 Stars

The title really says it all. This was a gift for my 14 year old daughter for her birthday and I bought it because of the beautiful pictures our old Canon still takes. It is simple to use and has all the features that makes life easy for my girl. Now to try and find a way to have her stop posting so many pictures on the web.
