8) Canon PowerShot A460

The sophisticated and durable-looking Canon PowerShot A460 has a 4X optical zoom, whereas most cameras at this price level have only a 3X zoom. The A460 starts up quickly, in 2 seconds, and offers both an eye-level viewfinder and a bright 2-inch LCD screen. A simple mode dial lets you select full auto, manual (still automatic, but with some user settings), scene modes, and movie mode. The PowerShot A460 earned an overall image quality score of Good from the PC World Test Center, with roughly average ratings for color and exposure accuracy. Check Latest Prices
