Canon PowerShot A470 7MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gray)

I didn't like the modes that it had that sometimes darken your pictures. It's a hassle changing these modes. And the modes that don't darken your picture, the blurry shows so you have to hold the camera very steady. There's also a choice of it not being blurry even if you're shaking it, but in that case, the camera is slower to take pics and load, and/or would have to be placed back to darken mode. You can't see full screen pics by setting the view mode to "View All" so it sucks having to see them smaller or you can do the full screen but then it sets to one-by-one.

And the worse part is the batteries. It's what you get for paying cheap for a camera. I had to buy a Duracell battery charger and even duracell can't last that long before I have to charge it again. I end up having to charge it over just for using it a few hours. So it eats up a lot of power from the batteries. In all, it's definitely not the kind of camera I'd stick with me for the rest of my life. In that long time, I might buy a new one soon.

This camera is loaded with features. And I love that you don't have to wait forever between shots. Great camera for the price.

I would highly recommend this camera. I have always had Canon camera's and they have made a simple to use digital that I am now enjoying. It takes great indoor and outdoor photos and the process is made easy.

I bought this for my mom as a birthday gift and she loves it. Good quality pictures and easy to use

The picture quality is good but the lag time between pushing the button especially with the flash making a bright light while it gets ready for the shot destroys any spontaneous shots especially of my animals or child. It is easy to use and I did not have to do a lot of reading to get it working for me. My disappointment lies only in the inability to take spontaneous photos and maybe that is just the quality of a digital camera. Shop around if taking a surprise photo is of importance.
