Canon PowerShot A520 prices and specs
The Canon PowerShot A520 was released on Feb 1, 2005. For now the lowest price for the camera is 239.00
The Canon PowerShot A520 is a compact camera. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The PowerShot A520 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't get pictures of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The PowerShot A520 can take photos at 4 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the PowerShot A520 will produce photos with not so high quality as cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. But if you want to produce photos of the professional quality pay attention to Sony Alpha a9.
The PowerShot A520 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for taking action photos of a satisfactory quality. The PowerShot A520 can even capture videos but the max resolution is not too high - 640 x 480.
The lens is built into the PowerShot A520 and the photographer can't change it. The lens provides 4x optical zoom.
