Canon sets a new standard for "introductory" digital cameras with the new PowerShot A430. Easy as point-and-shoot, the PowerShot A430 also puts high performance specs and a wide array of advanced capabilities at your command. With 4.0 megapixels of resolution, 4x optical zoom and a variety of shooting modes, the A430 offers better image quality than any other introductory level digital camera. It offers Canon's own DIGIC II Image Processor, designed to improve processing speed and image quality, as well as various shooting modes, including Super Macro Mode and Movie Mode. However, the best feature of the PowerShot A430 is the price. This is one affordable camera that doesn't sacrifice quality imaging and outstanding features, making it perfect for digital beginners.
