Astounding macro shots
This is a nice camera overall, but the macro shooting on the little A480 is positively splendid! The super-macro feature is unbelievably good.

Canon PowerShot A480
This was a gift for my daughter so I haven’t personally used it, but when I spoke to her about it, she simply said she loved it and that it did everything she needed it to do.

flash recharge is NOT acceptable in 2009
I am a die-hard Canon fan, and I was not dissapointed at all with the picture quality. For a small, inexpensive camera, the image quality and features are unbeatable.

No IS, otherwise just fine
This is an entry-level and amateur camera that produces excellent photographs, and has multiple scene-settings.

Canon PowerShot A480 is the most impressive camera. 10 Mega pixel is quiet good. I like all the four colors like red, silver, and blue and black. It is very easy to use. For more details refer Canon Powershot A480
