Competent entry level camera
Does everything you want a cheapish digital camera to do. Only downsides are - battery life - you'll have to get yourself some rechargeables or you'll forever be buying and replacing AA's; and build quality - some of the plastics used on the casing feel a little cheap - I don't know how likely this is to stand up to physical abuse by children, but I guess we're about to find out...
Photos produced are great - good colours, and using the SCN feature with child/ pet mode means that smaller photographers who are learning to squeeze the shutter rather than press it and generate camera shake can take slightly crisper photos...
A good range of manual and automatic modes, with an easy flash / fill in flash / no flash button....

Excellent!
Bought this new model as my first digital camera and boy, am I impressed, this is an excellent camera! It comes in a range of colours (red, blue or silver) and the pack includes AA batteries, wrist strap, memory card (only 16MB - I recommend you purchase a 1Gb card as you'll want to take loads of pics & video clips with this), cable to connect to the tv, camera to computer USB cable, basic camera user guide, advanced camera user guide + software to edit your photos from your computer. Digital cameras use alot of power so I recommend you invest in a battery charger & rechargeable AA batteries for this camera. The new A460 camera (replacing the previous A430)has a 2 inch LCD screen, 5MP, 4x optical zoom & movies with sound. Images are excellent-even in low light using the auto flash (which you can override). Colours, contrast, detailed pictures are all superb. Focusing is extremely quick and accurate with a green square(s) appearing on the LCD screen to show you what is being focused on before the picture is taken. You can use the Auto mode if you prefer for the camera to automatically select settings and just point and shoot or there are loads of manual settings you can select and play around with for those who are more adventurous. The software supplied is very easy to use and its amazing how you can edit your photos. A great site for printing your photos is PhotoBox - as a new customer and applying via Amazon I got 90 free prints! I researched many different camera review sites before deciding on this camera (camera.co.uk is an excellent site - although the existing review is on the previous Canon A430). This is an excellent camera at a great price, I'm 100% happy with my new toy - highly recommended!

It's not Red!
A cracking little camera for the money, but be aware, it isn't just the lighting on the photo. The "red" A460 is pink. Pink, pink, pink, pink, pink. Hot pink. Quite fetching, but not exactly manly. Be aware!
