Canon PowerShot A490


PowerShot A490
Canon recently introduced the Canon PowerShot A490. This model is supposed to be a big brother of an old model PowerShot A480 and to have much more features and abilities. Unfortunately, Canon just disappointed us. In general, the A490 offers almost the same functionalities as the A480: 10 megapixels resolution, 3.3x optical zoom lens, and a 2.5 inch LCD screen. So, we recommend buyers to go beyond this model and choose something better from the SD series, such as Canon SD1300 IS or Canon SD1400 IS.
