Canon PowerShot A420 prices and specs
The PowerShot A420 was produced on Feb 21, 2006. For now the lowest price for the camera is 209.99
The PowerShot A420 belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Canon PowerShot A420 is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't make photographs of the same great quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The Canon PowerShot A420 can take pictures at 4 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/3' (4.8 x 3.6 mm) sensor which means that the camera will take pictures with not so high quality as cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has more portable size. And if you want to shoot pictures of the best quality pay attention to Nikon D750.
The Canon PowerShot A420 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for taking action pictures of a satisfactory quality. The Canon PowerShot A420 can even capture videos but the max resolution is not too high - 640 x 480 / 10 fps.
The lens is built into the Canon PowerShot A420 and the camera owner can't switch it. The lens provides low 3x optical zoom.
