|Great Value,
I have two other Sony Cyber-shot cameras that I am very happy with so when I needed an extra pocket-sized camera, it was a simple decision. I really like the larger screen on this camera and the simplicity of the settings means less fussing and more point & shoot. In fact, I found myself grabbing this camera more than my old Cyber-shot which has more features.
I only had one issue in three weeks of frequent use. There was a more noticeable delay sometimes when taking pictures and some pictures came out blurry. This mostly occurred when I was taking photographs of stationary aircraft outside in full sunlight so I am not sure why it had difficulty finding the focal point. I would retake the picture seconds later and it would focus just fine. Our conclusion was that it might have been a low battery issue since we had to replace the batteries the next day. However, the low battery indicator did not come on during these issues.

|Great Camera,
My wife and I have owned many digital cameras and find this the best one we have ever owned. Apparently it’s a new generation. It is so automatic it makes it really easy to use. It automatically detects the photo type you are taking and lets you know – scenery, cuisine, closeup, etc. The smile feature is fun. Face detection with exposure correction really works. It’s compact, boots up quickly and has little or no delay when taking a picture. The 12MB picture really captures detail. We love this camera but may buy another brand for my wife when the time comes just because I like to experiment.

|No real difference between A480 and A490 – other than $10,
I wrote a review on the little brother model A480 – a good camera (if used with ample lighting). If you look at the specs carefully, there is really nothing to distinguish this camera (A490) from the A480 to a novice or beginner.
I had them both side-by-side and also reviewed their specs side-by-side.
Pros
o Truly a fit-in-the-pocket camera
o AA batteries and good battery life
o Good pictures in decent lighting
Cons
o Build quality not great. *VERY* light and cheap plastic. Cameras from just 2 years ago put this to shame.
o Somewhat price. Save the $10 and buy the A480 if you like this style. These camera often fluctuate $20 at a time
o The camera isn’t as well made as prior Canon’s in this price range – though it is up on features.
o Not so good in low-light conditions
There is no image stabilization in this camera so low-light photos will be blurry in some cases – be careful of lighting..
Overall a good beginners camera but be ready to upgrade – especially if you drop it hard.
There are a lot of minor cons listed here, but you get a lot for a $100 10MP beginners camera like this as long as you don’t shoot in low-light.
