Canon PowerShot A490 is the best camera! I compared it to a 12-megapixel Samsung. I decided to buy a camera, the choice was between Samsung 12-megapixel, Kodak - 12 megapixel and Canon A495 - 10 megapixel.
The Canon PowerShot SX100IS is my trusted friend. Actually, I am far from an expert in photography and this is only the second camera I deal with, but it makes me feel like a real photographer.
The Canon PowerShot A495 is my best friend forever. I bought it for me as a birthday present. I loved its compactness, design, color - my color is blue. My camera is 2-3 years old. It has never failed me.
