Canon Powershot A490: Great camera - Great value!
Canon is a huge name in camera tech! And this little digital wonder will not dissapoint. Fantastic value for money, this camera offers 10 mega pixels with 3 x optical zoom and video capture too! (The video is quite high quality and long capturing).

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

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.

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.

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

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.
