Canon Powershot A430 4MP digicam w/ 512MB SD

The Canon Powershot A430 is a circa 2006 digital camera featuring a 4-megapixel CCD sensor.

Here's how it was described in the Canon Museum:

"Equipped with Canon’s proprietary high-speed DIGIC II image engine, a 4.0-megapixel CCD sensor, and 4x optical zoom lens, the PowerShot A430 achieves outstanding image quality while delivering exceptional cost performance.Ideal for use outdoors, the new entry-level model PowerShot A430 features a Super Macro shooting mode that enables shooting from as close as one centimeter, in addition to 8 Special Scene modes that allow the user to adapt the camera to almost any occasion. Moreover, the camera’s easy-view 1.8-inch LCD monitor and intuitive user interface enable users with little or no experience to easily step into and enjoy the world of digital photography."

Battery and memory info

This camera uses two normal AA batteries (not included) and SD cards for memory.

A 512MB SD card is included (2GB is the largest supported size).

The 512MB card hold 237 photos at the highest resolution and 'superfine' compression or 425 photos at the same resolution using 'fine' (normal) compression. We generally recommend using the fine/normal setting for most people as the superfine mode slows down the camera.

Includes

• Canon Powershot A430 digicam
  
• 512MB SD card
  

Condition notes

We tested this camera and it is working well. It is in good cosmetic condition with some wear from use (see photos). The most noteworthy flaws are that the battery door sticks out very slightly when closed (it doesn't affect functionality) and the rubber cap that once covered the USB port is missing.
