This camera is the successor to the PowerShot A400, launched in September 2004.

In spite of being an entry class model, this camera is superior in terms of cost performance by featuring “DIGIC II” and enhanced various functions such as more powerful zoom magnification.

Even with more powerful zoom magnification, approximately 15g (0.5 oz.) have been shaved off the camera’s weight from the PowerShot A400. Also, easily understandable operation was achieved by reviewing the functions and integrating some buttons.

This camera is equipped with an approximately 3.2 million camera effective pixel Charge Coupled Device (CCD). In spite of being an entry class model, with “DIGIC II”, higher resolution and high-speed processing were achieved and the startup time and response time were shortened.
