We bought this camera from amazon as an “almost first” camera for our 3 year old daughter (her first camera, an Argus Bean, spontaneously quit working after 90 days). I think this is a fantastic camera and my daughter loves using it. We have had the camera for a couple of weeks. I read all the other reviews on amazon before making the purchase (thanks!).
While we love the camera, I am still not sure this camera will ultimately be sturdy enough for use by a 3 year old. Our daughter is very careful with stuff and always uses the camera with the wrist strap, but with the lens extended, I fear it is only a matter of time until she bumps it into something or drops it on the floor. So I am not sure I can recommend it as a sturdy first camera - time will tell. But the design is very simple, it is a good size for her tiny hands (she is small for 3), and she is learning how to use functions like zoom and flash pretty quickly. And she loves taking pictures!
I also want to point out that the camera does a surprising good job with macro shots. I am a casual photographer but I love taking close ups of flowers, textures, etc. and I recently purchased a Canon SX 200 IS (also from amazon). The SX 200 is a fine camera and it does do great macros but, for my simple needs, if I had it to do all over again, I would be tempted to save some bucks and buy one of these instead. Nice design.

This is my first digital camera. I bought it based on the reviews on Amazon.com. I’m used to using manual SLRs so this was a change. The camera is really good for the price. Easy to use. Not super big. Decent quality pictures even in low light. I like the macro function. The pictures look a lot better on my computer than the LCD camera screen. I’ve only had it a month or 2 and no problems at all.

I love Canon. This little camera takes great images in all kinds of conditions. It’s not designed for low-light photography but even those images come out pretty good. During the day indoor shots are great too even without a flash.
For someone new to digital photography this is a great first camera. My teen-aged daughter uses it as her first camera and had taken some amazing shots! The A480 would also be good for an older person who wants to get into digital photography. You could also use it as a backup camera and be very happy with the results.
If you need an inexpensive, dedicated camera that you can carry around you’ll do well having this one. The best camera is the one you have with you! You won’t be able to capture the images without a camera!
