The entry-level Canon PowerShot A490 is based around a ten megapixel, 1/2.3"-type CCD image sensor coupled to a 3.3x optical zoom lens that offers focal lengths ranging from a rather tight 37mm wide angle to a 122mm telephoto. Maximum aperture varies from f/3.0 to f/5.8 across the zoom range.

While it may be a very basic point-and-shoot compact , Canon's PowerShot A490 can take clear and vibrant photos that are very impressive considering its low price. It's the perfect camera to consider if you're on a budget but want to capture great quality images.
Pros:
- Good clarity and colours for such an inexpensive camera
- good battery life using AAs
- improved button layout over the PowerShot A480
Cons:
- Shutter button doesn't have a distinct two-step feel
- highlights were overexposed
