If you normally shoot pictures with a mobile phone camera, or if you want to try your hand at digital photography, the A470 is a great place to start. Offering very good image quality with a nice set of controls, the A470 is a fine snapshot camera tha...
Abstract: In the first of our five group tests of compact digital cameras, were looking at what are best termed budget models. Weve not gone for the absolute cheapest of the cheap (you can, after all buy a digital camera/ webcam thingy for as little as $20)...
The 7 megapixel PowerShot A470 is a budget entry-level camera which is easy to use. It has a decent and usable (but not exceptional) 2.5 inch LCD, large buttons and good battery life. The camera is simple, being an entry-level one, there’s no suite...

Awkward/odd zoom control, Weak battery life numbers, Flash recycle times still an issue, Sadly, no IS, Canon Powershot A470
When I first saw the A470, I wasn't quite sure what to make of it: how to reconcile a good specs sheet with some heavy corner cutting in a few places, including the styling? Trying to sum up this camera after shooting with it for a couple of weeks, I'...
Abstract: The successor to last years successful entry-level PowerShot A460, the new 7.1 megapixel A470 model has undergone a striking external makeover, matched dramatically by a number of key internal enhancements. The PowerShot A470 is a stylish and compact ...
