Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot A480 10 MP Digital Camera with 3.3x Optical Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Black)
Customer Review: Great starter, low-cost camera
Summary: 4 Stars
Very nice, inexpensive camera. Takes regular AA batteries, so it is easy to always be ready to take some pics. I paired it with a cheap, hi-capacity memory card, and I can take photos for days.
The included settings are very nice and this camera takes very good photos right out of the box, no monkeying around. If you are a camera novice like me, and do not want to spend $200 or more on a camera, this camera is going to do everything you need it to do.
I am not a pro, nor an amateur, nor even much of a hobbyist. I do not read the manual that comes with cameras. I needed a small, light, not too expensive camera to be able to take nice, high res photos with good, accurate color and detail and that is exactly what I got, at a price that is shockingly good.
This is a very light, small camera, but it is maybe an inch to an inch and a half thick, so this is not the camera you want if you are looking for a tiny subcompact camera that fits in a shirt or jeans pocket with no bulge. But, it is small, but takes great pics, and there are a bunch of built-in scene modes, like Portrait, or Landscape--stuff like that so you can set the camera for what you are doing and take a nice picture. It has a 3.3x zoom, which is handy. You aren't going to be able to see the lion's eyeball if you take the camera on safari, but it allows you to zoom in on your friend's face, or a houseplant, or your dog, whatever, without dancing back and forth, to and fro to get a good framed shot.
It is ready to take pictures in less than a second from the time you hit the power button, and it has surprisingly good battery life (I have a 5 MP Canon Powershot from 5 years ago higher up the line with doodads and features I only rarely used, but the battery life on that thing stinks). The battery life on this camera is pretty darned good.
Great starter camera for a kid or young adult, great camera for someone like me--who like to take some pics but will probably never worry about aperture or exposure or white level. All around, general purpose camera that rocks sums it up well.
