📸 Canon PowerShot A490 10.0 Megapixel Digital Camera with 3.3x Optical Zoom and 2.5-Inch LCD Display Review

I bought this Canon as a backup and will be shooting until I have my dream camera, a few hundred bucks more. This camera is compact, fits perfectly in a pocket or purse, and takes a great picture - especially for the average photographer or someone who just needs an automatic, good photo. Sometimes if he doesn't like the lighting or the frame he will actually refuse to take the picture, which can be annoying when you're in a hurry! He once told me no (I know, crazy, huh?) when the flash button…

Pros: light weight, ease of use, excellent photo detail FOR THE PRICE. I'm comparing this to other cameras at this price and bought it from Revain for $49.99 and I don't think I could get a better deal. Keep in mind I've only had this camera for a week but I still love it. I think it's great that I'm saving my money to buy a good DSLR so using them at the same time is great. Cons: There are a few things, you have to be very still when there is a slow shutter speed, which is typical for most…

THIS IS AMAZING, on Amazon (from another seller) it was $60 (from another seller). he is in great condition. The finish is familiar from Canon cameras I've had (3 of them in the last 8 years), this is the 4th, the cheapest but the highest MP, 10! AMAZING I like this camera more than any other Canon camera I have ever owned. It's simple and wonderful. 5/5 stars. Apex performance element. Clear photos. GREAT video capture too! Wow wonderful! And uses AA, infinitely better than the charger! It…

I'm not a professional photographer and I'm not interested in learning all the ins and outs of complex equipment. This little canon is perfect for me. It's small enough to take anywhere, it's basically aim and shoot, and it's easy to load. the camera is just great. The power button and the picture button are very close to each other. It's getting better, but sometimes I still turn off the camera when I want to take a picture. Sometimes the camera is slow to focus, especially when shooting…

I bought this camera a few weeks ago after my six year old Pentax Optio 30 was accidentally damaged. I've put off writing a product review until I've explored all of the features and become familiar with the menu navigation. I can say with confidence that this camera is a great solution at a reasonable price point. Pros: - Good image quality under most conditions in Auto mode. - Great shots in all conditions as long as you take advantage of the many features this camera has to offer. - Uses AA…

I love to take pictures. I'm not the type to have cameras that cost $$$$ because I'm a broke college student, not that I don't want any. When my last camera broke while on holiday (yes, not such a happy thing) I ended up in the market to buy a new one before my school trip to Europe. I didn't want a camera that would draw a lot of attention on tour, but I wanted something that could take a decent picture, oh, and something that wouldn't break the bank. My brother has this camera and when I…

Arrived very well packaged complete with carrying strap and batteries. It didn't come with a memory card, although that's a given these days. Also included are USB cables to connect to a computer and an A/V cable to connect the camera to the TV's RCA inputs. Finally, as expected, there were several documentation books and a CD of Canon applications. Overall, the presentation was on the verge of overkill for a budget camera. Images are very clear, as expected from Canon. This is my fourth Canon…
