I am very disappointed with Canon. I just bought Canon Powershot A480 digital camera. Prior to this, I few months ago, I bought Canon all-in-one printer for by business, and Canon disappointed me. The entire product didn’t work as I expected. It’s fax/phone doesn’t work properly. It’s scan require computer software to scan. Prior to that, my Canon digital camera malfunctioned which was replaced by PowerShot A520. Now, that camera’s lens cover doesn’t open automatically. I have to use my finger to open it. And now, the Canon’s ZoomBrowerEX software doesn’t work with installing / uninstalling /reinstalling. Is this Powershot A480 will be good camera? I wouldn’t bet on it. This is my last Canon product.

YOU KNOW I WANTED TO LIKE THIS CAMERA. I TRIED ALL THE MODES. I USED FRESH ALKALINE CELLS. A SANDISK EXTREME III SDHC CARD.
25% OF THE SHOTS WERE BLURRED (POOR AUTO FOCUS) THE REST WERE OF POOR QUALITY TOO. SOME THE SHOTS WERE OF THE SAME EXACT SCENE
TAKEN MULTIPLE TIMES. 25/75 WAS AS GOOD AS IT GOT…
OUR OLD NIKON COOLPIX 4800 STILL DOES A BETTER JOB !
BEAR IN MIND ALSO THAT I SHOOT NIKON FILM CAMERAS. AN N90S. SOME N2000′S. NIKON LENSES. THE PRINTS FROM THESE CAMERAS ARE AMAZING !
400 FILM. 100 FILM. NIKON SB-23 FLASH. RARELY DO I GET A BAD PHOTO…
MY SON’S CANON G10 ALSO DOES NOT IMPRESS ME.
COME ON, MAKE A GOOD DIGITAL CAMERA ! PUT GOOD LENSES IN THEM. ALLOW MANUAL CONTROL TOO !
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH FILM. GET A 35mm NIKON (NOT AN N65!) AND GET GOOD PHOTOS.

The camera took a long time to arrive, when it did I was dissapointed. It’s bulky and I didn’t realize that it needed batteries. I returned it and got the sd1100 instead. It has the plug to charge it on the wall it’s thin and hold lots of video time. It was worth the extra 20 dollars.

I was looking for something that would slip easily into a pocket. The photos look like it is small, but it is somewhat triangular to account for the AA batteries and is quite wide at one end. The best word to describe it is “clunky.” I love my Canon S3 IS and would love to stick with Canon for my pocket camera, but I can’t deal with the size and returned it.

It’s a cheap camera it feels cheap it looks cheap. I am a Canon camera fan but this one has to be the cheapest lowest quality camera they make. I bought this and since Amazon does not ship to APO addresses (IRAQ). I had them ship it to my wife then she shipped it to me. It ended up taking a month to get to me. I have only had it for almost 3 weeks and I turned it on today and it made a horrible grinding noise and now the lens dosen’t move. being that it takes about 3 weeks to ship from here to the states and another 2 weeks to ship back here I am biting the bullet on this and not returning it. I will never buy a cheap camera again. The video picture is really grainy and the pictures most seem to be a little out of focus. Our 5megapix Canon IS has a 10x better pic quality than this one also the Samsung camera I replaced this on with has a way better pic quality, Hell even my old canon powershot 2megapix camera takes better pics than this one. Do not buy this unless you want to buy another in a couple months.
