Great Point and Shoot, November 9, 2009This Is Cheaper At Wal-Mart Though, October 30, 2009a470, October 24, 2009
Good first camera, October 23, 2009This is only my second digital camera. The first was so confusing (very small icons and an over 60 attitude about learning new things didn't help). I ended up giving it to my son. I decided to try once… more and I'm glad I chose the Canon PowerShot A470. The pictures are clear and the display is big enough to see well. After two months I'm still using the same batteries. I was able to transfer prints to my computer for printing with no trouble. The only concern I have is that I may at some time want a more powerful zoom. Don't forget to purchase a memory card when you buy the camera. For a first camera this one's great. I would highly recommend this for kids and tech-resistant seniors.
MY FIRST USED CAMERA, October 11, 2009WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAMERA I KNEW IT WAS USED SLIGHTLY AND AFTER IT ARRIVED I DID NOT SEE ANY USE INSTRUCTION (MANUAL)BOOKLET WITH IT I TRIED TO USE MY EXPERIENCE WITH A DIGITAL CAMERA I HAD WHICH IS SONY… WAS TOTALY DIFERENT, I CALLED THE SELLER AND LEFT A MESSAGE AND HE OR SHE DID NOT RETURN MY CALL, I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE SENT THE INSTRUCTION WITH IT BUT I AM STILL TRYING TO LEARN ABOUT IT,MY ADVISE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BUY USED ELECTRONIC MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR USER MANUAL, IT WILL HELP AND SAVE YOU TIME AND HEADACH.
