User Reviews for Canon Powershot A460 Digital Camera (5MP, 1592x1944, 4x Opt, 16MB Removable Flash Memory, MMC/SD/SDHC Slot)

Reviewed by: ycc971

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Good image quality and cheap

Weaknesses: None.

Overall Evaluation: I bought this camera for my work needed. I don't need high image resolution, but need image quality and cheaper. This camera fits most of my requirements. I have tried other brand camera with just a little bit cheaper, but the image quality is very bad, too bright. Now, I own three Canon digital cameras (G3,SD800 and A460), all of them are good. When I need to upgrade my DSC, I will first consider "Canon" again. It has good image quality even at low-end product.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: It seems to be well built. The camera has a multilingual menu and it is very user friendly.

Weaknesses: Slow flash recharge

Overall Evaluation: I bought this camera for my young daughter in France and she is able to use it with ease. She has sent some of her photos and they are grate - a combination of her abilities and the camera's features.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Fast Shutter SpeedExcellent Flash

Weaknesses: Flashless pictures a bit weak. Would prefer better aperture.

Overall Evaluation: Overall, an excellent camera. Much better than my old HP. The pictures are clear and the camera is simple as compared to others which have too many options. Will stick to Canon.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Zoom

Weaknesses: Not easy to shoot a movie

Overall Evaluation: After losing my first Powershot A460 that I had for a year, I didn't hesitate at all to order another one. I still haven't taken the time to learn how to shoot movies, or use a lot of the features the camera comes with, but it's nice that they're there. I like how it tells you how many pictures you have remaining on you memory card and the zoom is great too.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: 1. Takes very good pics.2. Shoots usable movies (640x480).3. Uses 2 AA batteries.4. good price.

Weaknesses: A little thick if nitpicking.

Overall Evaluation: Easy enough for the beginner. Decent amount of features for a cheap camera, including canon's Asic II processor. Takes good pictures right out of the box, with a little practice it takes great pictures. Battery life isn't too bad. Suggest buy 1GB SD card and get a pack of at least 4 rechargeable batteries with charger.
