Canon PowerShot A460 5-Megapixel Digital Camera - Inexpensive and Excellent

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?

Nikon D5100 SLR digital camera 16 MP: A great SLR camera for the money

byyakkowarner Aug 29, 2011
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Interchangeable lens, easy to use, lots of features, takes movies and photos, works ...
Cons Price, only 16 mega-pixels, no internal motor, only one control wheel instead of 2.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a 16 mega pixel SLR camera. You have the option to change lens, customize many setting, and you get higher quality pictures as an end product. It is also a faster camera than most point and shoot’s available. I do not have the lag between pressing the picture button and the camera... Read full review »

Best bang for the buck in APS-C DSLR cameras

Cons Flash lacks commander mode capability
