Pros Price, 4x optical zoom, resolution, features, performance, build quality, 2" LCD
Cons Slow flash recharge, no dedicated zoom control, noise
Recommended it? Yes

I liked the last year's 4-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A430 and got an updated 5-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A460 to see how much of an improvement it is. I got this A460 for $136, which is a pretty low price for a good camera. But is it a good camera?

What is Canon PowerShot A460?

Canon SX230 marginal benefits for $

byceztom2 Jul 25, 2011
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Bigger, heavier than SD790, due to zoom probably, but will fit in pocket
Cons Auto exposure, dynamic range, battery life, ergonomics, screen size, touchy playback dial
Recommended it? No

I am not that impressed with the Canon SX230 yet, after a month or so of use (2500+ photos). The stitching help feature is not that useful as it uses an extremely small part of the screen to work with, put at least locks the exposure for all the shots.

The movie mode at 1080p seems to work... Read full review »

The Canon SX230HS takes some great photos, particularly... Read full review »
