From the press release:

To replace the popular PowerShot A470, Canon is launching a new 10.0 megapixel camera: the ultra-compact and affordable PowerShot A480. Even more comfortable to use, it has a new design that is 25% smaller than its predecessor. Body Colour - Silver, Red, Cyan or Black 1. Canon's 3.3x optical zoom makes it easy to frame your shots, while Canon's DIGIC III processor delivers high-quality images with superb colour reproduction. In addition, the DIGIC III processor implements face and motion recognition technologies.

Simplicity comes first
The PowerShot A480 is the epitome of convenience. With a new streamlined button layout, separate zoom, mode and playback buttons, and a redesigned user interface, shooting with this camera is incredibly easy. The PowerShot A480 is so compact that you can take it with you anywhere and take great photos whenever you see something interesting.

High resolution and versatile zoom
The PowerShot A480 features a 10.0 megapixel image sensor that captures any scene in great detail and prints photos even on A3+ paper. In addition, the 3.3x optical zoom allows you to quickly and flexibly frame the shot, which is indispensable for everyday shooting.

Canon technologies: how to take great pictures effortlessly
The heart of the PowerShot A480 is Canon's DIGIC III image processor. DIGIC III delivers exceptional image quality, ultra-low noise, superb colour reproduction and fast response times, and Canon's proprietary face detection technology. With face recognition technology, capturing great people shots is easier than ever. It detects up to nine faces in the frame and adjusts the focus, exposure, flash and white balance accordingly to ensure natural skin tones in photographs.
Motion detection technology, which registers information about the change in the scene, maintains the sharpness of the image when objects move in the frame and when the camera is shaken. In addition, the ISO sensitivity is optimized to minimize image blur and capture the highest quality images.

Shooting in any situation
A set of 15 preset modes allows the user of any level to instantly select the settings that are suitable for a particular scene. In particular, there are "Children and animals", "Sunset" and "Indoor" modes. Movies can be recorded at a frame rate of 30 fps, after which they can be posted on the Internet or displayed on the bright 2.5-inch LCD screen. PowerShot A480 runs on AA batteries, which are commercially available everywhere, which means you can always quickly replace batteries if necessary.

Good to know:

DIGIC III
Canon's DIGIC III image processor manages all key camera functions for maximum performance. Advanced image processing algorithms ensure the reproduction of the finest details and shades, as well as accurate white balance. The results of high processing speed are exceptional sensitivity, fast autofocus and long continuous shooting times. The DIGIC processor incorporates advanced noise reduction technology and face detection technology with autofocus compensation, autoexposure, exposure lock and white balance adjustment.

Face detection function with autofocus correction, autoexposure, exposure lock and white balance adjustment
This feature automatically detects up to nine faces in a frame and then adjusts focus, exposure, flash, and white balance for optimal results. The technology is able to highlight the faces that the photographer wants to capture, and if the photo is a group, the 9-point AiAF is turned on.

iSAPS Technology
iSAPS (Intelligent Scene Analysis Based on Photographic Space Data) automatically optimizes all camera settings before each shot is taken. Each scene is analyzed and correlated with photographic space data, a vast library of photographic information stored in the camera. This allows the camera to optimize autoexposure, autofocus, and auto white balance before recording an image.

Motion recognition technology
The motion detection technology used in Auto ISO mode detects the movement of the camera and the subject using various
