While it may not be the camera that you want to shoot the NBA finals with, the Canon Powershot A470 is still a great entry-level addition to your collection, according to PC World.

The Powershot A470 may not be that fantastic SLR you’ve been looking for, it still takes packs a whallop as a point-and-shoot. Here’s what PC World has to say…

“If you’re on a budget you’ll be hard pressed to find a better camera for your dollar. It doesn’t take the best pictures on earth and it leaves a little to be desired in terms of style, but the Canon PowerShot A470 certainly is good value for money.

It’s amazing how good even the most entry-level digital cameras can be these days. Occupying the lowest price point on Canon’s latest line-up of compact models, the PowerShot A470 nonetheless offers great value for money. Its pictures, while not the best out there, are perfectly fine for most users and the speedy operation makes it a joy to use. Some may not appreciate the slightly boxy design but with the price of this unit it is hard to pass up.”
