I love it . It is the best camera I have used in years.
by WCasson on May 12, 2009
Pros: Takes indoor pictures with no shadows which is what I needed. Performed admirably
Cost very reasonably priced at around 80-89.00 depending on your location.Cons: A little on the large side.
Summary: I needed a camera to photograph products I make so I don't have to carry the actual products. I tried several cameras and on the advice of the salesman ...
Summary: I needed a camera to photograph products I make so I don't have to carry the actual products. I tried several cameras and on the advice of the salesman I bought the Canon a470. The difference between the Canon and the others was evident with the first picture it was clear ,crisp and had no shadow even though the picture was taken indoors with low lighting. I highly recommend the Canon a470. The only thing I can say bad about it is it is a little on the large side but I believe the prefomance more than makes up for it. And at this price well worth it.

Fine camera for anyone.
by dougp3104 on July 22, 2010
Pros: I have had this for more than a year now. I have taken more than a thousand shots with it. My favorite feature is the super macro. It lets me get right inside a flower and get a nice shot of the stamens and pistils.
Cons: Can't think of any. It is a Canon so what else can I say.
Summary: I think this is the finest camera for any amateur who love taking pictures.
