About the product.

Canon's PowerShot A460 was the cheapest camera the company sold in 2007, and that is precisely its appeal now — a plain, chunky, AA-powered CCD compact with no pretensions and a longer zoom than most of its rivals. Four times optical, reaching 152mm equivalent, plus a Super Macro mode that focuses down to a single centimetre. The A-series was always the workhorse line, and the ones that survived tend to still work.

In short

Runs on two AA batteries, not included — rechargeable NiMH cells will get you around 400 shots, alkalines far fewer. The 4x zoom and the 1cm Super Macro give this one more range than most cameras at this price, and the DIGIC II colour is the classic Canon CCD look people are hunting for. Excellent cosmetic condition with the card already in it.
