Released in February 17, 2009, Canon PowerShot A480 digital camera is very popular for the entry-level consumers.With dimensions3.6×2.4×1.2 inches(WHD), available in four colors–red, blue, silver, and black, the new A480 Digital Camera is packed with Canon imaging technology features, such as a 10.0-Megapixel sensor and 3.3x Optical Zoom, with Canon’s DIGIC III imaging processor and a 2.5-inch LCD screen.
The most impressive technological advancement with PowerShot A480 cameras is Active Display, which is used for quickly switching between images during playback. Instead of culling through a long line of images, via a control dial, Active Display advances pictures simply with a gentle shake of the wrist. For the greenhands, the function makes the viewing and sharing of pictures more fun and enjoyable.
“The power of the Canon PowerShot series is its ability to enhance consumers’ enjoyment of photography through its unique combination of ease-of-use, affordability, and personalization,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. And the Canon PowerShot A480 is currently available in stores for $130.
