A 10MP budget camera from Canon – A480

Evan — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:02:29 +0000

The Canon A480 is a sleek and slim camera that has a resolution of 10 mega pixels which is the important feature that users like very much about this budget camera. You can find a lot of preset modes for shooting and is very easy to use. Modes for video shooting, fireworks, and portrait are some of the modes available among the other modes.

The Canon A480 support JPEG format of images. You can use AA Alkaline or Ni-MH batteries and the battery life is longer with use in this camera which is certainly a plus. You can easily capture about 240 images with a pair of AA alkaline batteries and about 470 images with the Ni-MH batteries in a single charge. The Canon A480 comes in Red, Black, Silver and Blue color. With just 4.94 ounces of weight it is easy to carry around.

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.

Digital Camera with built-in Printer!

We have been imagining a printer integration in a digital camera and it has become true with the Tomy xiao TIP-521 digital camera. ZINK patented printing technology is used for integration with this digital camera.

With the ZINK technology, there is no ink. The paper used for printing is a special paper that has embedded dye crystals in it. These are activated by heat during printing to bring you the color for your photographs.

This camera is yet to come to the market. This is set for release this month. With 5.0 MP of resolution and 4x digital zoom, and 2.48″ LCD display, it would be fun to take photos and print using the same camera. A rechargeable battery and an AC power adapter is also
there.

You cannot expect a very large print, since the dimensions would be less than that of the camera. You can print 2 x 3 inches borderless photos.

All you have to do is to just add the print paper (ZINK) and start printing!
