A460 is equipped with both the LCD and optical viewfinder for focus but the optical viewfinder does not display any information except for a green light indicating that it is on. But, the LCD focus mode displays useful information. The movie mode is powerful but the zoom works only with the highest video resolution (640 x 480). Besides, there is no dedicated zoom button. The Canon A460 lacks the image-stabilizing feature leaving a lot for photo shooters to work on. A460 focuses better and faster in the macro mode. The Super Macro capability in the manual mode of Canon A460 allows for extreme close up shots. It is easy to learn and extremely handy for indoor pictures.
The flash works reasonably fast and delivers optimum lighting in both sunshine and cloudy light conditions. However, the shots taken in poor light especially without flash may be disappointing. The A460 is not equipped with the auto-rotate feature that can save pictures in the portrait or landscape layout. The battery and SD card are accessible through a common outlet that can snap open with the slightest pressure and needs improvement.
Overall, it is a great camera from the Canon stable.
