Review on Canon PowerShot A480 camera, black by Chong Won ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

You just need to decide BEFORE buying what the camera is for. This model does not have manual settings, so it is not suitable for those who need them. Well, for mom to take pictures of flowers and mushrooms - perfect, everyone is happy with us :) Compact, light and stylish little thing that can do a lot, weighs nothing and costs nothing :) The quality is higher than the price. As for the noise: the compact is able to give out decent picture quality! But for this you need to set the minimum iso (80-100). Lubricated? - moved to the sun / dragged a light bulb / put a camera on something, and there will be a good picture. It is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve quality from a small CCD matrix at high iso, no matter how impressive the zoom, view and price of the camera are. A small matrix is ​​capable of quality, but on small isos :)

Pros
  • 1. PRICE! 2. photo quality at low iso 3. Super-macro is really super :) 4. It can do a lot, but it costs little :) And there are long shutter speeds, and exposure compensation, etc. 5. Everything is convenient and understandable. For grandmother there is an "auto" mode and two buttons - "turn on" and "remove" :) For a bro - everything else, but I have a DSLR :))) This is for a fotik family :)
Cons
  • 1. NO MANUAL SETTINGS! Unfortunately, they are not shoved into such budget models, which is a pity. 2. Long exposures (from 1+ to 15 seconds) are implemented ONLY in the "fireworks" mode. Thank God, the mode sets the minimum iso, but the white balance cannot be adjusted there. 3. No viewfinder4. AA batteries (well, this is not for everyone) 5. The battery level is not visible until it is discharged :)
