How to set longer shutter speed

[Mike Nowakowski]

I would like to know if its possible to set longer shutter speed on my Canon PowerShot A480. I can so far only find the default max of 15SEC.

Nope, that's the max for that camera.

thanks but how do other people get the really long shutter speeds like 18Min i have seen. Is this the really expensive cameras that do this?
