(5 out of 5) by C. Goddard-Doyle on Oct 27, 2009This camera takes lovely pictures, and while it took me a while to find all the modes, I now have.
When this page loads, it will say a new model is available - in fact, I downgraded and found this better.
It is somehow better than a friends camera which is NINE mega-pixels?
I got a case for it off eBay - the official case being very expensive! Just search Canon A470 Case - a cheap one should appear.
While it isn't as compact as all these flimsy 1 centimeter thick cameras that are now available, I believe that this cameras slight chunkiness is a sign it has obviously been well put together, if anything?!
I thought it would be very noticeably thick but it isn't. I've came to the conclusion they must of measured the thickness while the camera is turned on!
If you did not know how, you change the mode by going to the third option as in terms of the modes (i.e., playback mode, auto mode, and MANUAL MODE which is the mode I'm talking about.) Now once your on this mode, click SET, and a menu shall appear down the left hand side - and you can navigate this by using the arrow buttons.)
FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS - because, it deserves such a good rating!

Grand little camera
(4 out of 5) by M. Taylor on Jul 2, 2009 (Aberdeen)Great value product - super quality pictures. Plenty of features. Compact and easy to use. Storage media limited and you need to buy a larger version to be able to take a reasonable number of pictures but overall the camera is good value for money.

Another great Canon
(5 out of 5) by J. Pawsey on Jun 9, 2009 (Warwickshire UK)This camera replaces my much loved A460 recently stolen in a burglary !The replacement was no contest. I'd loved the size, colour & quality of the 460.
I've had Canon's for years going back to a wide angle SLR bought in the early 1990's. The lens quality on this as all the others I have had is excellent. Excellent value a lot of camera for your money. It takes good quaility pictures in most conditions.
I like the larger screen on the 470 and the enhances pixels make for clearer images. It is definately an upgrade.
My only slight niggle is the lack of a conventional look through viewfinder. Sometimes in sunlight it can be difficult to see the image you are framing but I'm sure I will get used to it. We all have to progress as the technology does !
I would reccomend this camera to anyone but keep it safe and insured as I've found it is also very attractive to thieves.
