It has been created to make the lower class and lower budget people enjoying the quality of Canon and also to have the perfect pictures of their life’s most interesting and impressive days or occasion.

Pricing is the prime criteria of the Canon PowerShot as it offers the lowest priced branded camera with the best brand and quality of Canon. In barely $100, you can have the most awesome device to memorize your special occasions.

Canon PowerShot features

The PowerShot is blessed with great dimensions WHD with 3.6×2.4×1.2 inches. This proper sizing and also the quite appropriate dimension is giving the camera a branded stuff look and also serves the beauty part of the device. With the Battery and Media, the whole weight of camera can be weighed at 6.7 ounces. There are again the light weighted concerns playing key roles In the Canon product. Since last so many product launches, the weight is being the main focus for the Canon technicians and they have outperformed the concept smartly and superbly.

10 Mega pixel facilities is the feature that makes the zoom quality and also the clarity of the picture quite surprisingly splendid. ½.3 inch CCD sensor is sufficient enough to make aware the senses of the camera and also to make the device quite efficient and alert. The lens size is kept at 3.3x,f3-5.8, 37- 122mm which makes the focal length quite a standard and sizzling for the camera resolution. The resolution even in this cheap device can compete any of the branded stuff.

The A480 is the device with multiple options and verities. It is available in four latest and most running colors like red, silver, and blue and black. Even f you see the size, it is not too big not even too small that it seems like a toy but still it has a manageable size and it can be handled by everyone with a great ease. It just has got the thickness of one inch so even if you are willing to keep the camera in the paint pocket, you can easily do it.  Seeing by front, this camera is just a stylish one and also it has the stuff to make the look quite attractive and also quite beautiful.

If we check the lens size, then the lens is quite marrow and it just makes an impression of 35mm and also has got the optical zoom of 3.3x. All the controls keys are made of plastic and also the LCD is definitely a good tool to use but is has a low resolution comparatively. So, when we talk about the low budget, this drawback makes the sense. But still these loop holes can be ignored if the camera is to use for the regular use. Even Canon has kept the tools as it is to be used for the new or simple users. All the controls and functions are straightforward and simple to get operated even by a child. Menu system is also not a problem as it hasn’t got too many options to search.

The Battery of the camera is also a blessing and no one would have expected such improved version of the batteries in such a simple model. This model is powered by AA batteries that are the most convenient ones. There is a limit of 200 shots at the most at a time but it can be improved by installing two NIiMH AA rechargeable batteries which will almost double the capacity of yours.

There are miscellaneous options for the white balance like Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H and Custom.

Even for the color options you have a wider verity to choose like Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, Black & White, and Custom Burst mode shot also is enriched by the unlimited limits and continuous resolution.

If we see the negative side of the camera, it gets a complicated device when it is asked for the options like white balance, focus, plus the points like metering, ISO, and color effects. Even if you want to take no risk, you can keep the camera in 12 special scene modes like Fireworks, Slow Shutter, Night Snapshot, or Kids & Pets. If you are the one who is quite fond of a lot of close-up macro shots, this device might not be the best choice for you. At the most you can have the close view to 1.2 inches away from a subject; however, the auto focus system doesn’t make too much sense and also not terribly accurate that closes, even though subjects looked in focus onscreen.

So, these are the features of fine and fabulous camera of Canon A 480. It can be too much handy for the initial or low used users and also it makes more senses for those who have the lower end in Budget. So, have the camera n your hand and Shot on.
