Canon PowerShot A530

Before phone cameras took over snapshot duty, the Canon PowerShot A530 was the sort of pocket camera people carried everywhere. Canon introduced it in March 2006 as a budget-friendly model in its PowerShot line, pairing a 5-megapixel CCD sensor with a 4x optical zoom and the DIGIC II image processor. It still offers manual exposure control for anyone who wants to move past full auto, and it runs on ordinary AA cells rather than a proprietary pack. This one is a working, early-2000s compact with the wear you would expect from its age.
