On the downside there is no viewfinder in this camera. You are forced to use the LCD screen to capture images. The recovery speed of flash is slow. It is also found that the low light shots are noisy. It is not wise to use this to capture actions as image stabilization is not there. Apart from these setbacks the Canon A480 is a good product that you get for the money’s worth.
