Great Camera Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Absurd battery life, fast pictures, easy to hold, easy to use.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I got this for my girlfriend, and she used it for two months and took over 400 pictures before replacing the NiMH batteries. Best gift I've ever gotten her, she absolutely loves it.

Excellent Camera I absolutely love my new camera. For a point-and-shoot, it takes great pictures. It is an amazing camera for the price.

Good kid camera Bought this camera for our 4-year-old. Really, a $100 camera for a 4-year-old? Well, I did not want to spend $85 on Fisher Price Kid Tough Digital Camera - Blue (New Version) that is big and clunky and even though it may be a little tougher, the view screen and picture quality is no match for the Canon PowerShot A470.
I got a nice small camera case and my son has taken great care of this camera. He used i...

How is this camera so good? I wasn't expecting much beyond the nice design, but I can't believe the results I'm getting from a camera I paid $110 for. 1cm macro mode? Great flash exposure without making everyone look like a ghost? No redeye? A programmable print button so I can have a shortcut to exposure compensation? There are many features here Canon used to reserve for their more expensive cameras.
The only improvements I'd like are better ability to focus lock on low contrast subjects, a redesigned batter...

Pretty Good Camera I bought this for my 15 year old daughter who had been wanting a digital for a while. I haven't gone "pixel peeping" but the pictures look good when viewed on the computer screen. She has no trouble accessing the menus to go for different effects. Battery life is decent. I recommend getting re-chargeables. All in all a pretty good little camera.

it's a basic camera... i usually love canon cameras, but this camera i was not very happy with. i have no problem with the pictures coming out good. the color comes out very nice. the problem i have with it is the time that it takes to take one picture and then take another. if your batteries are not fully charged, the wait time to take another pic could be up to 10 seconds. the zoom can be blurry at times too. it's a good basic camera for someone who takes photos every now and then. but if it's for trips and y...

Great camera, had to flip the date/time battery for it to save date/time For the total price of $113 plus $10 for a Kingston 2GB memory card, this was a great bargain. You will definitely want to purchase the memory card on amazon as well because the 32MB memory card that comes with this camera will hold maybe 15 pictures or so. The 2GB memory card for only $10 holds about 1000 pictures.
When this camera arrived to me, I turned it on and it asked for the DATE and TIME. But when I powered down the camera and then turned it back on later, it again asked for th...

Good Camera for Price This is a good camera for the price. It is simple to use and takes clear, crisp pictures. Also, the battery life is good. And the price makes it affordable to take good pictures.
Just keep in mind, that this camera works well if your subject is stationary. It is not for action shots. I have tried to take pictures of my kids playing in the yard and pictures usually come out blurry. Also, there is a bit of a lag time for the picture to be taken. Therefore, I have a tendency to m...

(Just an amateur here) For the list price ($129.00) I really couldn't find a better camera. I work in a photo processing lab, where I also deal with and sell cameras for most of the day, so before purchasing my own I did a lot of hands-on research. I'm still learning as far as all the fancy features, but if you're like me and just need a good camera for everyday type stuff, this one is perfect. With its 7.1 mega pixels, it takes really sharp pictures and what I really like is how fast the shutter is. There's virtual...

Canon Powershot A470 We have a Canon Camera, but it's larger and heavier than the Powershot A470. I wanted something small that I could either put in my pocket or bag. This camera fits that description and more. It's easy to set, focus and shoot! The pictures are clear and sharp. Recently though, I downloaded pictures into a digital picture frame. I was disappointed that some of the pictures had dark background and were fuzzy, but I think that it was more fault of the picture frame than the camera. I'm returni...

Batteries I had to return this as Canon told me the camera must be defective. The batteries would drain after two to three minutes. So I got my new one today and will see how it works. I recommend getting rechargeable batteries for this camera as I have been told you only get three to four hours of use for every two you put in.
Other than that I love it! Good color and I love that when you turn the camera a different direction the picture formats accordingly.

good purchase for the price It is a good camera for the price, cannot expect the best but it certainly does the job, it is compact, handy, lighter than my other cameras, good for quick pictures, not meant for high-quality photography

Good camera We bought the Canon PowerShot A470 camera as a birthday gift for our teenage daughter. She loves it! The camera is compact, but it still has a big viewing screen and easy-to-use controls. She is enjoying the video capabilities and the fast shutter action. We did buy a 4 gig memory card to hold all the data, and I would recommend that as well. All in all, it seems to be a good buy for the money.

Meets our Needs We have several Maintenance men who need cameras out in the field. We typically used Polaroid film, but with that going away, I needed something digital for the not-so-tech-minded guys. This camera does exactly what I need. It has larger buttons and is bulky in the hand, so they can use the cameras with gloves on. It takes AA Batteries, which is another plus - I don't have to follow up with a guy to make sure he charged a battery, or when something is urgent, I won't hear he forgot to charge it ...

Very good camera for the price Took about 600 vacation photos with the A470 about a week after I got it and I was very satisfied with the results. On a handful of shots it didn't seem to focus properly, but by looking the shot on the screen after I took it, I know that I wanted to snap another shot in those few instances. The image stabilization worked well - I didn't have too much trouble due to camera shake, despite having to hold it at arms length to take pix, rather than look through a viewfinder which I had been accostom...

Worth the price! This is a sweet little camera. Pros: Price, Looks, Ease of use Cons: Shutter speed is a little slow, but tolerable. There is not red eye reduction feature, and you zoom with the up and down arrows. For the price and the quality of the pictures I can deal with the cons. I use this as our fun camera. Take it out places you wouldn't want to take your SLR. Amusement parks, Boating, etc. My wife keeps it in her purse. So we always have a camera with us.

Awesome! While I love the Canon SD series, I was looking for a camera that used regular AA batteries. I actually bought the Canon A470 on a whim- I saw it at a local store. It was within my budget and I thought it was cute. (I bought the blue one.) So far, I'm happy to say that I love this camera. I use it when I don't feel like carrying around my Canon Digital Rebel XTi. The menu and controls are easy to find and use. The pictures that it takes come out very nice! I don't use the flash very often, so th...

Great value and performance Just got this camera and it's terrific. It's easy to use, the screen is a decent size, the image stabilization is great, and most of all, the picture quality is very good! I wanted to buy a more expensive Canon model but just didn't have the extra money, but I'm very satisfied with this one.

Canon Powershot A470
Haven't used it extensively yet but will at my daughter's graduation. So far have found it easy to use and definitely suits my purposes - it's my first digital camera. The size and style are just right and I expect to be very satisfied.

Very intuitive I bought this camera for my 14 year old son to take on school trips. His previous camera from another manufacturer lasted barely six months and took mediocre photos. This camera however is awesome! The pictures are sharp, perfectly exposed and the camera is really simple to use. Seems the menus are designed for regular people to understand. He appreciated that a lot.
The bottom line is he had one day to learn how to use the camera and then spent a week in Boston with his class. His...

Preordered this one before it came out, looks really cool Simple, does what it's supposed to do and the best part is that it used AA batteries. I don't even use the highest setting when I take pictures so 7.1 MP is more than enough for my use. For those who want to blow up to poster sizes, you should get an SLR, but for a normal everyday use camera this is the one to get. You could get more features for the price they are asking for but this one looks too cool.
