Budget mid-sized compact in the long-running and successful 'A' series of PowerShot cameras. The A480 replaces the PowerShot A470 with a more compact body and easier operation. Twenty five percent smaller than its predecessor, the A480 includes a new simplified button layout for ease of use. This entry-level compact houses a 10MP sensor, 2.5" LCD, Canon's DIGIC III processor and includes features such as Motion detection and Face Detection.(April 2009)

Opinion: I bought the 480 for day to day use when bring a DSLR would not be easy or too high a risk. (Motorcycle trip)
This is a simple point and shoot camera with a great senor on it. I was stunned at the pictures that this little camera can capture. It is simple to use and strait forward. The fact that it runs on AA Batteries is also a feature that I was looking for.
Problems: I have had only one problem and this was a lens error. Something with the gears inside. The unit was swapped out with out issues the the retailer I bought it from.
Opinion: Bought for my mother! I found the LCD sure does the no justice for the camera. High ISO noise... In Auto, the Camera just focuses where ever it wants. And i found the buttons to be kind of loose and cheap... Get what you pay for...
Problems: No
Opinion: Bought 2 units, 1 already out of order after 1 month of use, had to send back for repair. Not happy about this model. Would stick with Panasonic cameras as they seem better built.
My first canons of this type - would be my last too... :(
Would not recommend it to anyone. I asked Canon to replace it with a better model but they refuse, even if I offered to pay for the difference.
Problems: Battery running out very quickly
Easily broken
slow when flash recharging
Low value for money
Opinion: Excellent "pocket" digital for when DSLR too cumbersome, bought on impulse at half price on a discount website, has been an outstanding success. The built in flash seems to adjust to range/conditions just like my EOS' Speedlight
Problems: Nil encountered
