Canon PowerShot A460

Opinion: I get it as a free gift from buying a video Cam. Quite a nice camera, I would say it's
pretty good.

Can take a look at my flickr photos. All of them are shoot with A460.

Opinion: I do not agree for the indoor pictures. Much nicer than Pentax M20

Opinion: Upgraded from the A410 because I knew the generaol operation. Excellent as a point & shoot camera and the video now has sound. 3.2MP has become 5MP, the LCD display is bigger and the optical zoom is longer. Terrific value, unbeatable at under half the cost of the A410.
Buy some NIMH batteries for recharging, four in fact, so that you have spares. General shooting you get hundreds of shots on a charge.
Will definitely carry this in my pocket when I can't be bothered lugging my DSLR around.

Opinion: IMHO small, well build, Camera for print and show photo on TV. Made in China :(
When you view photo at the PC do not scale more then 70% - it looks bad. Blue/ purple fringing visible.
IMHO Panasonic FZ-5 has Real 5Mpix and Canon A460 has real 3...3,5 Mpix.

Very high noise visible in standart mode, ISO 80 looks mutch better. Unfortunally, very small Flash pover make dark all except face if you make portrait indoor.
You have no choise - without flash needs long exposure (1/5s, for example) and imposible to make contrast portrait, because people make brief and small move. You must use flash.
And high distotrion (geometriacaly) if you make portrait at 0.6...0.8 meter. As you can see, it's not easy to make a good portrait.

IF you want good picturies - make it in bright light & sunlight. In this case picturies looks pretty nice. Automatic exposure and focus works excelent.

Conclusion: Noise and Noise. Too noise 1/3'' sensor. ISO 200 not usable. There is not histogramm or overexposure warning in A460.

Opinion: Very BAD camera, for indoor or night use. The 200 ASA produce too match noise so the image is useless. I had to tern it to manual, at 100 ASA. There the picture was good but the flash can’t light the background.
If you think to buy it, do yourself a present and buy the 550-560-570 .I myself returned the 460 and get a 570.

Opinion: I purchased this camera for my wife, who likes to snap the family and outings. It was on sale and ease of use fitted her needs.
For what it is, a simple point and shoot, the images are just fine. It's possible to be quite creative with such a simple point and shoot.
It behaves reliably and is a simple and effective way to share photos with family and friends.
The software provides basic features and is ample for most people's needs.
For the money, it's excellent value and does all that a simple point and shoot should.

Opinion: Very good camera for its low cost, bang for thebuck camera! i would recommend this for people that doesnt know much abt photography :)

Opinion: For an inexperienced photographer, this camera is the best thing on the market. I
bought it as a gift for somebody who never used digital cameras before and he had no
problems in getting the hang of it.
