Canon PowerShot A470 News Release Extract

The successor to last year’s successful entry level PowerShot A460 camera, the new 7.1 megapixel A470 model has undergone a striking external makeover, matched dramatically by a number of key internal enhancements and advancements. The immediate eye-impact created by the PowerShot A470 camera stems from its availability in four different color accents — blue, red, orange and gray – over a contoured metallic finish body that highlights the camera’s new design and reflects the camera-user’s individuality, personality and taste.

This camera’s technological features compliment its expressive style. Ideal for first time camera-users, the PowerShot A470 camera features a 3.4X (38mm – 132mm equivalent) optical zoom lens that opens up at a responsive f/3.0 at wide-angle and f/5.8 at the telephoto settings. Despite its positioning as an entry-level camera with style, PowerShot A470 camera offers users the option of exploring their creative sides with manual overrides for ISO speed, exposure compensation and white balance, while enjoying the absolute ease of the automatic setting and taking advantage of the camera’s 14 shooting modes.

In its Review of Canon Powershot A470, the Imaging resource writes “Image quality, color, and exposure are all good with the Canon PowerShot A470. Overall color is bright and vibrant, yet still natural. Bright reds and blues are a bit oversaturated, which is common among consumer digital cameras because many consumers prefer brighter-than-life color in their images. We also noticed that cyans were shifted toward blue, a common trend among Canon digital cameras to produce more vibrant blue skies”.

In its Review of Canon Powershot A470, the Ask the Photographer writes “One of the latest “A” series models from Canon this year, the PowerShot A470 is one of the best deals available for an entry-level digital camera.
