The Canon PowerShot A450 is simple and won't trip you up if you want to take an easy, hassle-free photo. This tiny little shooter is great for new and beginning digital camera users, and great for travel, with its small size and use of easily replaceable AA batteries. Similar to the A460, the A450 has a 5-megapixel sensor, but a slightly (almost insignificantly so) lower optical zoom, 3.8x instead of 4x. That's still higher than what the average camera had a few months back, and shouldn't hamper your photography too much.

Canon has today announced three new models in their affordable PowerShot A range. Slotting in at the entry-level, the PowerShot A450 and A460 replace the previous A420 and A430. Both sport 5.0 megapixel sensors and 3.2x / 4x zooms respectively. The A550 meanwhile enters the mid-range to supersede the A530, and offers a little more both in terms of features and control as well as increasing the pixel count to 7.1 million.
