Canon PowerShot A460 - PC Mag
PC Magazine have published their review of the Canon PowerShot A460 digital camera. 'The A460's lens is pretty standard—a 4X optical zoom with a 5.4mm-to-21.6mm range (which is equivalent to a 35mm lens with a 38mm-152mm zoom) and corresponding maximum f-stops of f/2.8 to f/5.8. Canon did make a few improvements, though. The camera now boasts a 5-megapixel sensor instead of a 4MP one. It's also got a 2-inch LCD, slightly larger than the 1.8-inch one on the A430. And, most important, the camera's list price is $30 cheaper, at $149.99.
Otherwise, when it all is said and done, the A460 is nearly identical to the older A430 model. In fact, it's so much of a doppelgänger that I gave this PowerShot the same 3.5-star rating as its predecessor. One attribute on which the A460 measured up better than last year's model was its burst mode: It may not be super-fast, but it is very steady. Shots in this mode with flash engaged, however, were slow. I also like that Canon decided to keep the glass eyepiece and not do away with it in favor of the LCD screen, as has been done on other point-and shoots. This feature comes in handy in bright light.'
