Inexpensive; fast performance
Noisy pictures; chunky design
For the money, youd have a hard time finding a better snapshot camera ...
Abstract: The Canon Powershot A470 is Canons entry level digital camera. It has 7 megapixels and a 3.4x optical zoom lens. Why Buy the Canon Powershot A470?As you will see from my review the sharpness of the photos and the general picture quality achieved by t...
Great image quality; excellent macro feature; good design, interface, and feature set; good high ISO performance.
A little bulky; images have a slight but correctable color cast; flash is a little strong.
If you normally shoot pictures with a mobile phone camera, or if you want to try your hand at digital photography, the A470 is a great place to start. Offering very good image quality with a nice set of controls, the A470 is a fine snapshot camera tha...

Somewhat thick for slipping into a pants pocket, Image noise high at ISO 800 and up, High chromatic aberration at wide angle setting, Some blurring in corners at both zoom settings, though not as bad as some
Overall, the Canon PowerShot A470 is sure to be a crowd pleaser. It comes in fun colors, is easy to operate, yet offers a handful of more advanced features for more experienced users. Its small, pocketable, and has minimal controls to fiddle with. Add...
Excellent image-quality, cool design, smooth interface, broad ISO range.
Slow image-processing, no manual mode.
The Canon PowerShot A470 only offers 7-megapixels and 3.4x zoom, but its updated style and superb image-quality arguably make it a better deal than 8-megapixel PowerShots costing $20-$50 more. If youre looking for image quality above all else, the A...
