This camera is a 4 times digital zoom, not 3 times like most cameras! If you are going to take pictures in the mountains or near lakes please buy an additional UV Filter and a adapter tube for the camera. This way you will not get any "blue" in the pic

QuickTake:

Pros: Fantastic camera-with zoom lens
Cons: Needs a camera case. Upgrade to at least 1GB card.

Review Verdict: The A450 is a very capable camera and good value for money, and would make an excellent choice for anyone who wants to learn more about photography before moving on to a semi-pro zoom or DSLR. It may lack some features found on higher end models, but it i
