Canon's 2006 entry compact — 4MP CCD, long 39-156mm 4x zoom, AA power, first A4xx with a microphone

The PowerShot A430 was a stripped-back entry compact of February 2006 in Canon's A4xx line, twinned with the A420: the A420 was sold mostly in Europe while the A430 went mostly to the US market, though both circulate in the UK used market. It was the first A4xx model to include a microphone for movies with sound.

It used a 4.0-megapixel 1/3-inch CCD with a 39-156mm-equivalent 4x optical zoom, unusually long for the class at the time. The 1.8-inch LCD handled composition alongside an optical viewfinder-era body style, video recorded at up to 640x480, storage was SD card, and two AA batteries provided power.

This is a basic snapshot camera for beginners, students or anyone wanting a cheap CCD digicam with more zoom reach than rivals of its price. Image quality from the small 1/3-inch sensor is modest, which is part of the retro digicam character rather than a surprise.

AA power keeps it easy to run; check the battery contacts for corrosion from leaked cells. Cycle the 4x zoom to confirm smooth travel, test movie recording to verify the microphone works, and inspect the small screen for scratches. Cards are plain SD, so avoid assuming SDHC compatibility.
