'The standard range of metering controls (multi-area, center-weighted, spot) are available for more involved metering tasks, but the Cyber-shot was accurate enough in this regard that I rarely felt the need to step outside of the default multi-area setting'
'battery life is low, but it's uncomfortably small for frequent use.'
'The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 couples a 8.1 megapixel sensor to a Zeiss-branded 5x optical zoom and a generous 2.7" LCD display'
'I was able to capture 10 full resolution (8M) images in 4.2 seconds, about
2.3fps, which soared by Sony's claim of 1.6fps.'
'In spite of a look and feel that keeps the A470 looking a bit like a throw-back'
'The Canon PowerShot A470 is appropriate for first time entry-level photographers desiring an easy-to-use point-and-shoot digital camera at an affordable price'
'pretty good digital camera'
'The Canon A470 automatically detects, tracks, focuses and optimizes the exposure on up-to nine forward looking human faces in the frame or can lock onto a specific face in the crowd, ensuring that all (or one) are in focus and properly exposed, with or without flash.'
