Canon PowerShot A480 prices and specs
The PowerShot A480 was released on Jan 15, 2009 and is sold in USA for 52.32
The PowerShot A480 belongs to the category of ultracompact cameras. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The PowerShot A480 is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't capture photos of the same high quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Canon PowerShot A480 can shoot photos at 10 megapixels max resolution. But for better picture quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the camera will shoot photos with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has more portable size. And if you want to capture photos of the best quality check Pentax K-1.
The PowerShot A480 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for making action photos of a satisfactory quality. The Canon PowerShot A480 can even capture videos but the max resolution is not very good - 640 x 480 (30 fps).
The lens is built into the Canon PowerShot A480 and you won't be able to switch it. The lens has weak 3x optical zoom.
