Reviewed on 2008-07-26 A great camera for what you pay for !!!! A+ At that price of less than 150 bucks including taxes you won't find a better camera with all the features than this Canon !!!! and almost forget, it's a Canon !!!! that say a lot to me !!!

Reviewed on 2008-07-24 All you need The Canon A470 has a great price and great features. I like it better than the older model I had, an A85. The older had only 4mp, and appeared to have many more controls. The A470 takes only 2 AA batts, vs the 4 batts for the A85. I need a SIMPLE camera. The features for the price are tops.

Reviewed on 2008-07-21 Great midlevel camera I love this camera. It's smaller. It's basic settings are very easy to use. As you become more familiar, the advanced settings are really fun to play with. I love all the settings: aquarium, snow, portrait, sunset, etc. I am very happy with this purchase. We did a lot of comparison shopping, and just couldn't get over how perfect this camera was to our needs. I highly recommend this over any other.

Reviewed on 2008-07-20 Great beginner camera Purchased this camera for my 7-yr-old granddaughter and she was up and shooting with minimal instruction. Wonderful screen, easy to use, small enough to carry just about anywhere, but very good quality photos despite its conservative price.

Reviewed on 2008-07-18 Great little camera for all around use, great valve as well! Love this camera!! I had a Polaroid before and could not get near the quality of picture that this PowerShot takes!!! Also great valve with being just over $100!!!
