Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A460 5.0MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom (Silver)
Digital camera Review: Christmas Gifts
Summary: 5 Stars
Canon products are just trouble free and reasonably priced, These were Christmas gifts for four teens.Digital camera Review: Couldn't be better
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera as a birthday present for my 72 year old sister and gave her to it on our trip to Vegas. She said she wanted a really dumbed-down camera that was as easy to use as a cardboard disposable so she could just "take pictures" and not screw with buttons and adjustments. In the auto mode it does just that and takes superb pictures to boot. It will freeze the water in the fountains at the Bellagio, adjust for the very difficult lighting at the Masquerade Show in the Sky at the Rio and take night-time shots of the strip all crystal clear and with accurate color rendition. I had my much more expensive digital camera with me and found myself wanting to use the Cannon most of the time. The only problem we had with it was fighting over who was going to use it. Great deal for the money and if pushed to say something negative it would the weight and size being just a bit unwieldy.Digital camera Review: Disappointingly noisy images
Summary: 3 Stars
I've used a Canon G3 for about 4 years, and have always been pleased with the image quality. I've tested the A460 against it in several situations and can report that:
-it's faster - the powerup and shot to shot speed are excellent.
-it's easy to learn and use.
-it focuses better and quicker in macro mode.
-The flash works well and quickly, and creates reasonably pleasing light in a variety of circumstances.
-The images in sunlight or reasonably bright cloudy circumstances are fine.
BUT - the images at lower light, without flash, are unusably noisy - a major drawback for me as my intended use is to take a small light camera with me on my evening walks and jogs. If low-light photos aren't important to you, it's a fine choice.
Digital camera Review: Don't get what you pay for!
Summary: 1 Stars
Even at $100 this cam is probably not what you want. Very slow flash recycle and battery low warning after just 10 non flash shots! Seems to be basic design flaw as many others have complained about this.Digital camera Review: Don't look to expensive cameras to get quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using my Canon A460 for 10 days now. What I can say about it is that I'm truly satisfied with my purchase. Some days before, I had bought a Canon SD1000 camera but I didn't like it and asked for a refund: too small for my fingers, seemingly too fragile for traveling around because of its compactness. I'm quite pleased with what I bought afterwards: a nice camera, fitting well in your palm, with lots of features, not too long to get used to, well laid out controls, rendering sharp and crisp photos. In some words: really inexpensive for all it can give you. A real bargain!
