Canon’s PowerShot A460 is small enough to fit in a pocket, yet produces stunning images comparable to much larger cameras. This 5 megapixel camera comes with a gorgeous two-inch LCD screen for framing and review, and is equipped with an excellent 4x zoom lens. The Canon PowerShot A460 also has a unique widescreen mode that captures images at a 16:9 image ratio, allowing you to view the images perfectly on your television or monitor. The use of standard AA batteries means you’ll never have to worry about charging or losing a charger or battery. Less
