Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gray)
Digital camera Review: Good Purchasing
Summary: 4 Stars
Hi I have 23 years old and I bought this camera because im outside my country for 6 months and I wanted to take some pictures for my records. Looking a good quality/price relation it is the best that I found, and by the moment Im really happy with the camera, excellent pictures, may be a little difficult to understand all its functionalities but it include a pdf instructor for that, just that I havent have enough time too see it on detail. But for casual pictures, its great, very easy to use, windows compatible, good videos, so I definitively recommend it.
The only bad thing is that could be a little complex to know all its functinalities, but I suppose that is the same with all cameras.
I have read that its a little fragile, but i haven't any problem yet so I can't say that. If you are carefully, you should't, may be if you are looking a camera for kids, could have problems with that, but f its for you, should be ok.
Digital camera Review: Good buy on the Canon PowerShot A470

Bought this camera for my son for his birthday. He loves it. Easy to use and not too big nor too small :)Digital camera Review: Good camera, great price
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this camera for my wife because she wanted one that she could easily carry in her purse. So far, she has found it very easy to use and the pictures have turned out very well. I personally don't like using the LCD screen as much as I like the viewfinder on my more traditional Fuji camera, but she prefers the LCD anyway.
It isn't loaded with options and there are certainly better cameras out there. For the price though, this is a great unit so far.
Digital camera Review: Good camera, when it worked
Summary: 2 Stars
About 6 months after buying this camera from Walmart, I can not use it. It still looks like new, and when it held a charge it worked great. However, rechargables, expensive digital camera batteries, and regular batteries only last 15 seconds when installed into this camera. At first I thought it was that the rechargables that I use had met their fate 5 years after buying them. So I went and bought brand new digital batteries - they lasted 15 seconds. I put both types into different electronics, and they are still working months after the A470 said the batteries were dead. I am buying another one, and will not use another Canon product. This was my first Canon device owned, but I never purchase something from any company that fails to perform.Digital camera Review: Good entry level camera
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this camera for my 10 year old son for his birthday. He wanted a "real" camera that he could use. This camera takes great pictures and video. It is easy to use and isn't too complicated like other cameras with several scene shots available. The only issue I have is my son tends to walk around taking video and when he does it drains the battery quickly. I know more my problem than the camera. When the batteries aren't fully charged and you turn the camera on the digital display is blank. I thought it was a problem with the camera but having had this happen several times and replacing the battery I figured it out. He did drop the camera on our wood floors from about 3 1/2 feet and the camera is fine. Being 10 he isn't the most gentle either and the camera seems to be holding up just fine.
