  • The PowerShot A490 is surprisingly capable as Canon's lowest priced point-and-shoot model.

  • Good clarity and colours for such an inexpensive camera, good battery life using AAs, improved button layout over the PowerShot A480
  • Shutter button doesn't have a distinct two-step feel, highlights were overexposed
  • The Canon PowerShot A490 is a cheap digital camera that can take high quality images. It's a simple point-and-shoot without extensive manual features and it runs on AA batteries. We don't like its shutter button, and it didn't handle highlights too well d...

  • Good image quality, Well-made, Cheap!
  • Dull video mode, All-plastic, AA batteries double-edged sword
  • The PowerShot A490 is the latest budget compact camera from Canon, and it comes with a surprising twist.It takes a lot for a digital camera to stand out these days. Things are particularly messy at the £200 mark, where a chokepoint of similar cameras...

  • On a hot-and-frying Singapore afternoon, yours truly gulped down a quick lunch with fellow writer darKHell before the two of us boarded a cab for 12A Jalan Ampas. Greeted by an unassuming Balestier Warehouse (with bad lift at that), we proceeded to Res...

  • sehr günstig, sehr gute Bildqualität, manuelle Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, gelungener Automatikbetrieb
  • langsame Betriebsgeschwindigkeit, begrenzte Videoaufnahme, nur Brennweite von 37 mm, klobiges Gehäuse, kurze Akkulaufzeit
  • Mit der Canon Powershot A490 Digitalkamera erhalten Sie viel Bildqualität für wenig Geld. Vor allem bei Lichtempfindlichkeiten zwischen ISO 200 und ISO 600 läuft das Gerät zu Höchstformen auf. Dank guter Motivprogramme und eines soliden Autofokus beda...

  • zuverlässige Automatik-Funktion, günstig, gute Bildqualität
  • mäßiges Display, kurze Akkulaufzeit, langsam, magere Ausstattung
  • Im Gegensatz zu den Kompaktkameras, die sich im oberen Preisbereich tummeln, verzichtet die Canon PowerShot A490 auf Extras und Spielereien. Dafür kostet die Kompaktkamera nur 80 Euro und liefert eine vergleichsweise gute Bildqualität....
