The PowerShot A460 is an upgrade of the popular PowerShot A430, launched last year and keeps the blocky, plastic-built lines of that model. A silver, metal band stretches over the top and down the left side (from the back) bisecting the two main plastic parts of the main body.
A control dial peeps up over the top edge pf the camera where the shutter release and on/off button can also be found. Powered by two AA cells the A460 fires up quickly enough, with a power up to first shot time of a little over 1.5-seconds. Not bad for a camera at this level. Indeed, performance throughout is good until you get to shooting with flash when shot to shot times extend to around 7 seconds and rather annoyingly, the camera locks up and the screen blacks out while you wait.
