  • Powers on fast

    I bought two A490's for a book scanner project but the image quality wasn't what I had hoped. But they are great for point-and-shoot casual picture taking, with excellent color and a nice big screen.

  • Excellent buy.

    Camera is a great value. It is lightweight, and takes exceptional photos. It seems to be really "easy" on batteries, also. I am thrilled with the purchase. The minor blemishes in the finish in no way affects the performance. In fact, I don't need to be paranoid about accidentally marking the case. Great camera for the price.

  • Lightweight and gets the job done.

    It's a lightweight camera which is easy to carry around. The photos it takes are very good quality. Time will tell if it holds up to heavy use. The battery / SD Card door seems to be a little weak. Love that it uses AA batteries.

  • Best FIRST digital camera ever: had fun learning what to do.

    EASY TO USE, AND FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA EVER OWNED. Should have gone this direction a long time ago.

  • Not Operating Condition

    The camera was listed as being in "operating condition" but it arrived without a SD card, so it really didn't operate.

    The camera results are clear with a warmth to them and the microphone records with a full, rich sound.
