Fujifilm FinePix A825 — AA-powered compact with 3x zoom, 2009.
The FinePix A825 belongs to Fujifilm's budget A-series compacts from the late 2000s, a long-running line of simple point-and-shoot cameras aimed at everyday snapshooters rather than enthusiasts.
It uses a 12.2-megapixel CCD sensor of the typical small 1/2.3-inch compact size behind a 3x optical zoom lens, with a 2.7-inch LCD for composing and reviewing shots. It records standard-definition video only, stores images on SD/SDHC cards, and runs on two AA batteries.
The AA power supply and straightforward automatic controls make it an easy camera to keep running without a charger, though the modest zoom range and lack of HD video or manual exposure limit it to casual snapshot duty rather than creative or fast-moving subjects.
These are common and cheap on the used market; check the battery door hinge and contacts, make sure the zoom lens extends and retracts smoothly on power-up, and confirm the LCD screen is free of scratches or dead pixels.
