The Canon PowerShot A480 has a meagre set of controls and a relatively lacklustre 2.5-inch LCD. Despite the plasticky feel of the camera, there are a few thrills, including face-detection auto-focus which is linked with metering and flash exposure as well as white balance.
You also get motion detection technology, which senses subject motion and increases the ISO setting for faster shutter speeds. Sadly though, this is the only model on test to lack Canon’s optical image-stabiliser system built into the lens.
The only shooting modes on offer are full Auto, Program and various scene modes, but at least there’s manual white balance, various colour rendition options and the choice of evaluative, centre-weighted and spot metering.
Another neat trick is auto red-eye correction, which is available in both shooting and playback modes. For what is essentially a basic point-and-shoot camera, the A480 delivers very pleasing image quality.

Amazing value at $120. This camera is many times better than my Sony both in terms of ease of use and picture quality. In the 10 MP highest quality picture mode, with automatic settings, it take fantastically vivid, clear pictures suitable for framing. It really couldn’t be easier. I want to get into higher end Canon digital cameras with removable lenses and better manual control and detail work. I have a Canon 35 mm camera from the ’60s with a lens that’s worth a couple grand alone. I just haven’t gotten into that level of photography. Until then, I think I’m doing quite well with this Canon A480.
