DigitalCameraReview reviews the Canon PowerShot A470 and writes;
” The PowerShot A470 lives up to expectations, such as they are, for the most part and really exceeds them in a few places. Considering the price, serious disappointments are almost nonexistent, and even taking cost considerations out of the equation, there’s not that much to complain about.”

Steve’sDigicams reviews the Canon PowerShot A470 and writes;
“…video playback is surprisingly smooth when you consider the frame rate of 20fps (most models feature real-time 30fps at this same resolution). The only issue we saw was that clips can get a bit grainy when shooting indoors in marginal lighting”
