3 out of 5 stars Good Camera for Price   June 13, 2008
 16 out of 16 found this review helpful

This is a good camera for the price. It is simple to use and takes clear, crisp pictures. Also, the battery life is good. And the price makes it affordable to take good pictures.

Just keep in mind, that this camera works well if your subject is stationary. It is not for action shots. I have tried to take pictures of my kids playing in the yard and pictures usually come out blurry. Also, there is a bit of a lag time for the picture to be taken. Therefore, I have a tendency to miss the shot.



5 out of 5 stars Preordered this one before it came out, looks really cool   April 14, 2008

Simple, does what it's supposed to do and the best part is that it used AA batteries. I don't even use the highest setting when I take pictures so 7.1 MP is more than enough for my use. For those who want to blow up to poster sizes, you should get an SLR, but for a normal everyday use camera this is the one to get. You could get more features for the price they are asking for but this one looks too cool.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome!   May 5, 2008

While I love the Canon SD series, I was looking for a camera that used regular AA batteries. I actually bought the Canon A470 on a whim- I saw it at a local store. It was within my budget and I thought it was cute. (I bought the blue one.) So far, I'm happy to say that I love this camera. I use it when I don't feel like carrying around my Canon Digital Rebel XTi. The menu and controls are easy to find and use. The pictures that it takes come out very nice! I don't use the flash very often, so the battery life is actually quite swell.


4 out of 5 stars Very good camera for the price   May 28, 2008
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

Took about 600 vacation photos with the A470 about a week after I got it and I was very satisfied with the results. On a handful of shots it didn't seem to focus properly, but by looking the shot on the screen after I took it, I know that I wanted to snap another shot in those few instances. The image stabilization worked well - I didn't have too much trouble due to camera shake, despite having to hold it at arms length to take pix, rather than look through a viewfinder which I had been accostomed to. Shot almost everything at 5 Mpixel rather than 7 MP, though I did use the widescreen mode a couple dozen times, which I was very happy with. It came in handy for some wide landscapes & tall objects that I shot. Of course, it's easy to crop a digital image, but it's also nice to have the widescreen mode built in to the camera.


4 out of 5 stars Meets our Needs   May 29, 2008
 8 out of 8 found this review helpful

We have several Maintenance men who need cameras out in the field. We typically used Polaroid film, but with that going away, I needed something digital for the not-so-tech-minded guys. This camera does exactly what I need. It has larger buttons and is bulky in the hand, so they can use the cameras with gloves on. It takes AA Batteries, which is another plus - I don't have to follow up with a guy to make sure he charged a battery, or when something is urgent, I won't hear he forgot to charge it up. The only BAD thing about the camera is the weak battery door. It seems flimsy and looks as though it could break easily. I am not too worried about it though, as the cameras are inexpensive, and with careful operation, it should work out well. Overall, it's a great camera for what I need, simple, reliable and large (Not a lot of shooting options, but I don't want those for this purpose. It meets our needs).
