  • Scene modes for common family events, Included SDHC card, Long Shutter mode aperture settings, Zoom functions during video capture
  • Allplastic construction, Included SDHC card is only 128MB, Somewhat scattered menu structure
  • The A480 is a cute but not-so-small point and shoot aimed at the budget-conscious consumer who wants the least amount of fuss when taking pictures at birthday parties and other family events. In keeping with the no-fuss concept, the A480 doesnt com...

  • Chunky design, Icky LCD screen with poor viewing angle, Chromatic aberration issues

  • Crisp and well-coloured photos considering its price
  • Poor viewing angles on LCD screen, awkward design, some overexposure problems, noticeable chromatic aberration
  • The physical appearance and design of the PowerShot A480 aren’t great, but it does have the potential to take some good-looking shots. It’s perhaps one of the best point-and-shoot digital still cameras in the sub-$200 price range. Give it a go...

  • Simple; cheap; relatively small; powered by AA batteries
  • Chunky, plastic design; relatively slow performance

  • If youre a tripod-shooter, a steady-handed photographer, or just want a bargain-bin camera with good image quality, the Canon PowerShot A480 is worth a look. Its lack of image stabilisation and some modes, however, may cause action photographers to p...
