Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gray)
Digital camera Review: Awesome camera, but you will need a different memory card.
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this camera--I got it for Christmas, and for a teen who really just wants to take pics to put up on facebook and all that, it's absolutely perfect, I would definitely recommend this if you are buying it for a teen. THe only short coming is that the memory card it comes with holds about 25 pictures. I tried to make a Christmas album with it the night I got it and I had to keep uploading the pics onto my computer to make more room on the memory card. I will definitely buy a card that has more space. Other than that, it is a great camera.Digital camera Review: Better than I expected

I purchased this as a backup camera. Meaning a camera I can haul everywhere I go, mostly for cloud pictures, when I can't carry my Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom around.
I picked this camera because it has a few features I hadn't found in other cheaper point and shoot cameras. In manual mode it has an infinity focus mode, which I haven't seen anywhere. This is excellent for cloud photos, as my other camera could almost never focus on them, but this camera lacks a manual focus, so I wasn't completely sure it would work. The Infinity Focus completely solved that problem.
It's other main selling point is an ability for "Super Macro", ie focusing on objects almost touching the lens. It is also found in Manual Mode. My S3 can do that, but I didn't think I would find a point and shoot with that capability. Especially since I've played with some of the more expensive Canon powershots and they DIDN'T have the capability. It makes up for the measly 3.4 optical zoom.
One feature I haven't played with yet is long shutter, also in the manual settings, reached by pressing menu in the Exposure area of the Manual settings. It looks like it can go up to 5 seconds or so. Another feature I didn't expect on a camera without Manual Aperture or Shutter Speed adjustments.
The lack of a viewfinder is a bit irritating, and noticeably a problem in direct sunlight, but the focus modes more than made up for it for me.
It does have a big lag for flash pics, even with NiMH batteries. You will HAVE to buy another memory card as at high quality it can take barely 10 pics on the included one.
Digital camera Review: Camera perfect for purpose

Our eight-year-old was very excited when he received this camera for his birthday. It is so simple to use that he was able to take pictures immediately. Now his whole family borrows to capture images they want.Digital camera Review: Canon Camera- Awesome!

Really great camera. It has a big display screen, great photo quality, and is very easy to use. The camera is light and compact, but not so small I would misplace it, and it fits well and comfortably in my hand. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a great, high-quality product for an affordable price.Digital camera Review: Canon Power Shop A470.7 7.1MP
