Canon PowerShot A420

Before smartphones took over snapshot duties, plenty of families carried a little silver compact like the Canon PowerShot A420. Canon introduced it in early 2006 as an easy point-and-shoot with a 3.2x zoom and a 4-megapixel CCD sensor. This one comes with an SD card and a pouch, and it works. It is a simple, pocketable digicam for anyone who wants to shoot on a classic early-2000s compact.
