Gets The Job Done... Mostly (DCHQ Editors - 6/5/08)

The Canon Powershot A470 is a budget camera with middling features. Without a viewfinder or manual controls, the user is at the behest of the camera and its corrective features. That said, the Powershot A470 is not a terrible camera; in fact, with little practice, you can take quality photographs. For entry-level or beginning users, the A470 is a good camera with a great price. read original review
