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.

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.

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.
Review:
Canon PowerShot A460
This bargain-priced camera offers a solid body, a 4X zoom, and exposure compensation; but some images looked noisy.
Canon's PowerShot A460 has a sophisticated and durable look to it, yet it costs just $130 (as of 5/10/07). Though nicely designed, its boxy and chunky shape prevents it from being carried comfortably in a pocket. It will fit nicely into a small bag, however.
