I bought the camera for about 8 months ago so I have tested it thoroughly. The image quality is good, good sharpness, shallow depth of field which I like. But not so much settings. ISO then? Well there we have one of the camera's weaker points: The noise comes at ISO 200 but images are still ok.

Very good picture quality for a small camera, great design and compact.
Was actually bought to replace another identical camera damaged in an accident. Camera is nicely designed and compact thus allowing easy fit into pocket or in small camera case. High picture quality, especialy for a small camera. Great choice for novice photographers.

The dream camera.
Amazing! One of the best cameras I've come across. There are two things that I love about this... One... the weight. It is a very light camera, convenient for trips or vacations of any kind. Two... the picture quality. Never have I EVER seen a camera shoot beautiful picturtes as good as this one.

Great Beginner Camera
My son turned 10 a week after Christmas and he wanted a camera. We didn't have a lot of time so we looked at inexpensive cameras on line and then went out to Target and Wal-mart. We set a price limit of $75.00 if possible. What we found was Canon - PowerShot A490 Digital Camera.

The PowerShot A490 is the latest budget compact camera from Canon, and it comes with a surprising twist.

Need a battery charger to use this camera
I regret not returning this camera because I found out it takes double A batteries when I received it. Do not buy expensive disposable camera batteries they ware out in less than an hour of use. You will have to buy a 20$ battery charger that comes with double A batteries.

OK Camera
This is the camera I was expecting. Nothing too fancy, bulky or pricey. I bought this for the day to day, when hanging out with friends, for quick shots, etc. Picture quality is ok, though I would not use this to record a video, the quality is horrible. Only for pics.

Canon PowerShot A490
Although most of the cameras I review are high-end models costing £200 and over, in these financially difficult times not everyone wants to spend that much money on a digital camera.
Pros:
- Cheap
Cons:
- No image stabilisation
- slow autofocus
- Limited shooting options
- No 720p video
