The Canon Powershot A430 is a four megapixel digital camera with a four times optical zoom lens. The zoom lens is slightly longer than you will find on a standard digital camera.

This is an entry level model with less functions and features than other cameras in the Canon Powershot range. This makes the Powershot A430 easier to use than the other models.

With its low price it is aimed at people who are looking for a straightforward, no fuss digital camera who are looking to pay a reasonable price rather than spend a small fortune.
