The Canon PowerShot A480 [$79.00] is a great value for the money. Feauturing a 10 MP sensor, 3.3x optical zoom, and large 2.5″ LCD, it’s low price doesn’t make you sacrifice on features.

Unlike many other point-and-shoots, the PowerShot A480 uses two AA batteries instead of an expensive custom battery. This means finding a battery on-the-go will always be easy. This digital camera is perfect for the kids as a first camera. Or take it on a trip to replace that $500 camera you’re afraid of losing. No matter what the intended use is, Canon never disappoints. Also, don’t forget to buy an SD card for storage!
