  • Simple; cheap; relatively small; AA battery powered.
  • Chunky, plastic design; leisurely performance.
  • The Canon PowerShot A480 may be a basic low-priced compact camera, but at least it takes good photos.

  • If you're a tripod-shooter, a steady-handed photographer, or just want a bargain-bin camera with good image quality, the Canon PowerShot A480 is worth a look. Its lack of image stabilisation and some modes, however, may cause action photographers to p...

  • Great overall image quality. Excellent menu system. Cool design. ...
  • Minimal external controls and basic LCD. Inconsistent Low light performance and small aperture range. No viewfinder. ...
  • When we think of an entry-level compact, we tend to think “cheap”, “amateurish” and “inadequate.” That’s from the eyes of an advanced shooter. However, the 10-megapixel Canon PowerShot A480 will impress a wide arr...

  • The A480 is a cute but not-so-small point and shoot aimed at the budget-conscious consumer who wants the least amount of fuss when taking pictures at birthday parties and other family events. In keeping with the no-fuss concept, the A480 doesnt com...

  • Pleasing image quality, Well priced
  • Chunky design, Icky LCD screen with poor viewing angle, Chromatic aberration issues
  • If youre looking for a cheap, easy-to-use camera under AU$200 you could do far worse than the PowerShot A480. Design issues aside, its a capable compact with decent image quality. ...
