 my handy canon September 12, 2008
I recently received my camera and haven't used it that much but plan to this weekend. So far it's very easy to use but still need to read instructions for all details. I'm a senior citizen so don't like anything with too much attention needed, just shoot and see.
The price is very good, my son bought one so thats why I got the same incase I need help.
Thanks
Irene
 Canon PowerShot Review September 9, 2008
The camera has a very nice zoom but was a lot larger that I expected it to be from the pictures. Sometimes the pictures are fuzzy and it has a hard time focusing. When the pictures are in focus, it takes very nice pictues. It's a good camera for everyday use.
 Wow! September 9, 2008
I had a Canon camera that was only a couple of years old, go missing. Even though it had a lot more features, I figured that I'd buy a cheap camera to replace it, for now. (Maybe it'll still turn up, if not I may get a fancy camera for a replacement later.)
The old one was 5 Mega pixels, the new one is 7 Mega pixels. What is shocking however, is the amount of improvements that were made in digital cameras, in only a couple of years. While the new camera is relatively cheap, it is vastly better than my old one (and the old one was very highly rated, and from the same manufacturer).
While the old camera would take decent pictures, to get the exposure and colors right, I would always run the pictures through Photoshop's Auto-correct mode, before printing them out. With the new camera, they have somehow improved the electronics so much that every picture looks good straight out of the camera, without any correction in external software. (The external software will further improve on the pictures, but they're pretty good, even without touching them up.)
I don't know if I just lucked out with this particular model of camera, or if every new camera is this good. Anyway, when I need another camera, I'm not going to waste my money on a high end feature loaded camera. I'll just buy another cheap highly rated camera in a couple of years, and by then the advances made will more than outweigh the premium that I'd have to expend to get a loaded camera, now.
All in all, this camera is a great buy, great value, and can't take a bad picture!

I could not be happier with this camera, and you certainly can't beat it for the price. The screen is surprisingly large for a small camera and the quality of the photos is fabulous. I can carry it around in my purse and have it on hand for spontaneous shots. The fact that it uses regular batteries is a blessing and a curse. At least if it runs out and your on vacation and out and about you can buy batteries anywhere instead of having to wait until you can charge it. But the downside is that they seem to get used up fairly quickly.
I'm really pleased I got this one and not a more pricey version. I have my Rebel SLR for high ed use and this for everyday.
Canon PowerShot A470 September 2, 2008

A really great camera,for a first time user. It is easy to use although it takes a little while to get used to how to operate and select the features. Stay away from the "Format" section - this will delete all your pictures. Also, you will need to buy a new memory card, preferably a 1G, as the one that comes with the camera only holds about 15 pictures. But other than these need to know tips you will enjoy using this camera. It will be good to buy a camera case as it doesn't come with one and you will need something to protect your camera as you carry it around.
