Strengths: Great photo quality, ease of use, nice look retrospectively, and feature rich.

Weaknesses: weird controls in preview mode, and the lack of viewfinder.

Overall Evaluation: This 7.1 mp camera is a big bang for the buck. It's full of features and gives you great photos. This camera didn't disappoint much. You won't have to worry once you are used to the controls.

Strengths: good quality

Weaknesses: battery life short

Overall Evaluation: We have a Canon Camera, but it's larger and heavier than the Powershot A470. I wanted something small that I could either put in my pocket or bag. This camera fits that description and more. It's easy to set, focus and shoot! The pictures are clear and sharp. Recently though, I downloaded pictures into a digital picture frame. I was disappointed that some of the pictures had dark background and were fuzzy, but I think that it was more fault of the picture frame than the camera. I'm returning the digital frame for a larger one. All-in-all, I love my new camera and highly recommend it for someone who just wants an easy-to-use and carry-around type of camera.

Strengths: pretty, good price

Weaknesses: not rechargeable battery

Overall Evaluation: This Canon A470 looks very pretty. It is 7.1Mp and 2.5 inch LCD, with such a good price. The weakness is that it uses AA battery, instead of rechargeable battery. overall, I like it.
