Canon PowerShot A480 10-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

Whenever we set out to do something, it often becomes more complicated than it seems. Canon's philosophy is very much like Henry David Thoreau's approach, 'Simplify, simplify'. Indeed the Canon PowerShot A480 is a technological wonder. But it's a camera that's remarkably simple to use - out of the box. Just click and shoot. This is a fully automatic camera that selects the Focus and proper Exposure for the best possible picture results. It's organically easy. Canon PowerShot A480 is by no means basic and you'll benefit from the easy-read instructions and intuitive menus. Thoreau also once wrote, "You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment." Preserve moments of eternity with the Canon A480. Enjoy the simplicity that only PowerShot camera users can really appreciate.
With its streamlined silhouette and smoothly curved edges, the Canon PowerShot A480 has the compact sophistication and relaxed simplicity that make it a natural for beginners and everyone else who craves style and convenience. The 10.0-megapixel Resolution and 3.3x Optical Zoom make it easy to capture the action in dazzling Color and brilliant detail. With DIGIC III, your images boast superior quality, the camera operates at top efficiency and Battery life is enhanced. What's more, DIGIC III enables Canon's Face Detection, Motion Detection Technologies and Red-eye Correction to give you better, more true-to-life people shots. While a bright, bold 2.5-inch LCD makes shooting and playback a genuine pleasure.
