Canon Powershot A460

As graduation presents go, many people gave me many things, most of which were either money or vouchers. My parents gave me vouchers for John Lewis knowing that I like going to this store for quality even though I do moan often about the prices of their goods compared to products online which can be purchased for a cheaper price. Their line up of small, compact digital cameras started at £99 and continued well into £500 and more, even though I had a small amount of vouchers with me on the day of purchase I decided to do the usual research and visit Comet, Dixons and Jessops who all sell cameras and have staff who can offer good and independent advice without ...  Read the complete review

I remember a few years ago I was given this as a birthday present and I was really pleased because I had always wanted a better camera. You will be pleased to note that my profile picture was not take by this camera! The first holiday I took it on was to Florida to Disney, Wet 'n' Wild, Universal / Land Of Adventures, Sea World and Busch Gardens and I think I dropped it at least once in all of them and it still stays strong with a few scratches, so it is pretty tough. The screen size is 2" (which was good for a camera when I got it. It may seem small nowadays but it still is big enough to see what you are doing). It comes with a cable to attach ...  Read the complete review

On first glance, the Powershot A460 might not impress many people with its only average aesthetic features, that makes it either bad or good. When you try to look at the camera, it does not remind you of a cheap generic camera nor does it remind you of a high end stylish camera. However, the camera has been designed ergonomically with a decent finish that is quite nice to touch and silver accents which gives the camera more redefined dimensions. The camera has a lens that is capable of 38mm to 152mm zoom, which is slightly higher than the average range for a camera of this size and considering the amount of lens protrudes out of the camera. The flash is quite ...  Read the complete review

As a digital camera for first-time users, especially those on a tight budget, I can highly recommend the Canon PowerShot A460. Its compact and easy-to-navigate design means that even the most inexperienced of beginners will find it simple to use, whilst at a little under £100 it surpasses most other cameras in its price-range. Once you have quickly adapted to the way the PowerShot works, I find that the manual mode is more useful than the auto, as it provides a wide selection of features which can be altered to your satisfaction (including exposure, ISO, black and white, sepia, or the colour setting of your choice). The use of macro, infinity, and supermacro ...  Read the complete review

Ahh, I remember this wee thing. I got one of these from Tesco a few years ago for about £120, brand new. Obviously it will be a lot cheaper now, but it had only been out for a few months at the time. Ok, so it isnt that old, but I havent used it in a wee while. If I remember correctly it was my first camera, and one of the reasons I got into Macro photography. It's quite a good wee thing, great size, easy to carry around with you. It doesnt take ages to turn on (unlike some) so you can use this to get a good photo in seconds. It comes in a range of different colours, mine was pink, so it's a great camera to accessorize with! Not a bad choice for ...  Read the complete review
