The Canon PowerShot A430 is last century. I put only three stars out of five only for the strength and durability of this camera.
The Canon PowerShot A3300 IS impressed me! For that kind of money, there is no better.
The Canon Power Shot A620 is the best digital point-and-shoot camera. The camera was purchased in 2006 for $350 with packaging that said "for Germany" on it. It had a book in German, but it was not useful.
