Editorial Review:

Sleek and sensational, the PowerShot A470 comes in four eye-catching colors that will get you noticed. Plus, it's got everything you need to make shooting fast and fun. There's the 7.1-megapixel resolution, a 3.4x optical zoom Lens, a large 2.5-inch LCD and a full range of performance features including enhanced Face Detection technology and a DIGIC III Image Processor to keep every image looking its best. Vertical Shooting has never been easier - just press the Print/Share button. It's that simple!

Very good picture quality:

I liked this Canon PowerShot camera. I bought this camera based on the fabulous customers' reviews in Amazon.com. Recently I had to take some pictures in a house without any lights in a cloudy late afternoon. This camera gave me very clear pictures with its flash in this type of environment.

A470:

Pros: Takes nice quality pictures.
As far as it being noisy, it is a bit noisy when you turn it on, and when you adjust the lens, but i didn't think it was bad at all.
Cons: I don't think its heavy at all, but of course it isn't a really slim camera either.
Summary: The delete button could have been marked better, as it has a diagram on it but not of the usual trash can. The trash can icon is directly under the delete button. My older dad, who's not so techy figured it out pretty quick but... more info
