Canon Powershot A470 Camera review: a popular entry level digital camera.
The Canon PowerShot A470 7.1MP digital camera comes in a slim yet stable build and is available in four different colors to suit any taste or style. This fully automatic digital camera with 7.1 megapixels and 3.4x optical zoom allows for brilliant resolution to capture all the important moments in full and vivid color. These images can then be cropped, enlarged, printed, or emailed to family and friends. The optical zoom is simple to use and creates beautiful close-up photographs.
If you are interesting in buying the A470, I highly recommend you buy from Amazon. It is currently available in 4 color options:
- PowerShot a470 Digital Camera in Gray
- Here is the link for the red version of it.
- And for those looking for the blue A470, here it is.
- It turns out that they also have an orange version of on this page.
The LCD screen for this Canon PowerShot is 2.5 inches diagonally, which allows you to view all your shots in clear and bright form. A Night Display feature makes viewing the screen simple in low lighting situations. The camera is powered by AA batteries, which are easy to find in any store so the power on your Canon PowerShot will never run out.
Let’s take a look at the features of the A470

- 3.4x optical zoom; Face Detection
- Large, high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD

Canon’s enhanced Face Detection Technology finds faces in any environment and then concentrates exposure and focus on them. But this model of the Canon PowerShot also modifies white balance. With Face Select and Track technologies, you can concentrate on one face among many in an environment and focus on that face in movement. Red Eye Correction also contributes to the Canon PowerShot’s ability to photograph all the important people and events in your life. The Red Eye function can be modified to work automatically during shooting or later during photo reviewing. The DIGIC III image processor along with the iSAPS Technology allow for images of excellent quality with correct focus, exposure, and white balance and for the camera to operate efficiently with extended battery life.
Motion Detection Technology calculates the speed of the moving subject to automatically fix blurry photographs. The Canon PowerShot boasts ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings which diminish camera shake and fix focus in darker settings. Fourteen modes are available with this camera as well as the ability to shoot vertical photographs. An easy-to-use Print/Share Button allows for convenient printing of your photographs.
Let’s look at a review from a current owner
Disclaimer: Ordering through the above links will help pay for the countless hours spent writing and promoting this website. Thank you for your support!This camera is the best you can find for its low price. It is perfect for everyday use and provides great versatility. The time between focusing and taking the actual picture is quick which allows you to capture all your important moments. Canon’s PowerShot is small enough to carry around yet solid enough so it doesn’t feel fragile. The settings can be customized for any type of photographer yet the possibilities aren’t too overwhelming for the beginner. (C. McColl “genX Librarian”). Read the full review here.
