Well, we were right about them not continuing with the current A470 type of camera, wrong about the model number.

Hej, excuse me, but just repeating my comment about it on another page :
Really boring… No IS, no manual modes, no viewfinder, to sum up : nothing new, even it’s more expensive than A470 when it came out. F3.0/F5.8, have they done as bad in the past ?
Seems canon doesn’t wanna sell cameras anymore.
I may add : I disagree it’s an intelligent cheap cam, pana low budget cams all have IS. My grandparents not steady enough for no IS cams. ^^
Take THAT Nikon and DXO!!!!
wow
another p&s
yawn… how about some meaningful lens announcements instead of another cereal box camera?
Thanks for updating P&S also – just nice to know what Canon is up to at the low end
Oh wow it is 10mp! Then it must be really good, hehe…
For compact cameras, one needs to look at Panasonic for innovation. When it comes to DSLR and lenses, it’s Nikon. Canon is nowhere to be found.
I think Canon is following the motto, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But that isn’t going to help them keep their lead. However, if they do come out with a decent waterproof point & shoot it will probably sell well considering the competition doesn’t have very good image quality, and Canon compacts usually lead in that area.
doubt canon will produce waterproof p&s…. they already have dive cases for most of theirs which work great and generate extra revenue so why throw that away…. I have an SD850IS with the dive case and its been fantastic for snorkeling and skin diving at the springs and down in the keys (Im in north FL).
i want some design like nikon s10
Hej, Waterproof camera and cam + waterproof cam are different things imo…
The cases are very expensive and can go -30m or more… A waterproof camera is a camera for beach pictures, being near the water without fearing for your cam or 1m or maybe 2 underwater. Also at the swimming pool.
Pentax W30 is said to work -3m for 2 hours, canon dive cases are said to work at -40m.
My dad’s on his fourth ‘waterproof’ Olympus… They keep on getting sent back on warranty after leaking water whilst snorkelling around. I’m tempted to just buy him a camera + separate dive case.
My Body Design is pretty, good color for blue and red.
Thanks for the post. Canon PowerShot A480 has impressive features.With the Battery and Media, the whole weight of camera can be weighed at 6.7 ounces.It has a 10 MP camera, image quality is very good. For more details refer http://www.etechreviews.net/canon-powershot-a480-blue-digital-camera-review/
