Advantages: Good quality photos, good zoom function, easy to use

Disadvantages: Poor battery life

I recieved the Canon Powershot A480 for my birthday. So far it has been fantastic. It is very easy to use, the picture quality is good and I have found the general navigation around the options menu easier to use than other cameras I have tried. To start off with the display of buttons on the back of the camera is very simple and it is obvious what function each button serves. From this it is easy to navigate the menu on the camera, for example to delete a photo all you have to do is slide the wheel at the top to look at the photos you have taken and then shuffle through each in turn to see if you want to delete it. The photo quality I have found good so far, I am not an expert on photography by any means but the photos I have had developed have all been ones I have been happy with. The zoom on the camera is also very good, you can zoom close into things without going anywhere near them! The only down side to the camera I have found so far is the battery life, the batteries don't seem to last too long especially if your flicking through photos so make sure you have lots of batteries to ensure you don't miss those important photo moments!

Summary: A good overall purchase
