Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Blue)
Digital camera Review: Great camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Great camera .....Great Photos!
I bought one my myself, liked it much. I bought another one for my Dad. What i like about the camera:
Really point and shoot camera.
Not too may options on the Dial to confuse you.
My parents are old, all they want is "icon" for ,video,and play!
Uses AA battery. I just use rechargeable AA Batteries. Its easy if you travel outside the country.Some countries have 220V or different Plug socket. AA Batteries are easily available.
Picture and video quality is AMAZING!!!
Personally i like little bigger camera and it is easy to hold while taking photos...i dont have to worry about dropping it.
Love it!
Digital camera Review: Great camera - buy lotsa batteries
Summary: 4 Stars
This inexpensive camera does everything well including movies. I bought one from Amazon for my 7 yr old and he has become the family photographer.
It burns through batteries at a phenomenal rate however and I will be buying the rechargable batteries that are available for the camera.
Digital camera Review: Great camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
I did alot of research before buying this camera. Being that I am not camera savy I wanted something that I could point and shoot and get brilliant pictures. I was in the market to get the Canon A560 but they were sold out at all the stores in my area. The clerk showed me the A470 and I was instantly impressed by it. The A470 was easy to learn how to use. I downloaded the pictures for the first time today and was impressed by the quality. It doesn't matter if the photos are taken inside or outdoors - the color is vibrant and the image is crisp and clear. I am having so much fun with this camera - probably even driving my kids crazy by taking pictures all the time. I think anyone who purchases this camera will be very happy with it.Digital camera Review: Great camera, had to flip the date/time battery for it to save date/time
Summary: 5 Stars
For the total price of $113 plus $10 for a Kingston 2GB memory card, this was a great bargain. You will definitely want to purchase the memory card on amazon as well because the 32MB memory card that comes with this camera will hold maybe 15 pictures or so. The 2GB memory card for only $10 holds about 1000 pictures.
When this camera arrived to me, I turned it on and it asked for the DATE and TIME. But when I powered down the camera and then turned it back on later, it again asked for the date/time. So the camera was not saving the Date/Time. I opened the battery cover and their is a slot for the CR1220 Date battery which is as small as a watch battery. IT WAS UPSIDE DOWN. The + symbol of the battery was facing up and in reality, the - symbol needed to be facing up. After I flipped around this 'watch battery', the camera was able to save the Date/Time and it never again asked me for the Date/Time each time I started it up. I wrote to Canon and requested they retrain their staff with this issue since it caused me alot of headache. Overall, the camera works great! Large LCD screen, easy to handle, uses only 2 AA batteries and has 5 different resolutions to choose from when taking pictures, including a widescreen resolution and a Date/Time stamp selection so the date/time get stamped onto each picture you take. Great camera, the blue color looks sharp!
Digital camera Review: Great first camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this camera for my 7 year old daughter's birthday and she hasn't stopped taking pictures since we put the batteries in! The controls are so easy that I only looked at the manual after I'd figured everything out. My daughter can also work the camera on her own which was exactly what I was looking for. The other huge plus is that it runs on regualar AA batteries, so replacement is quick and painless. I highly recommend this little beauty to anyone - young, old, or inbetween.
