The Canon PowerShot A520 is a compact digital camera with an unusual range of manual controls and capabilities within the sub-$299 (USD) price bracket. Replacing the A85, the PowerShot A520 expresses a 13% frame reduction, down to 3.6 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches (90.7 x 64.0 x 38.4 mm), and weighs just 6.3 ounces (180 grams). The condensed A520 offers users a 1/2.5-inch 4.0 megapixel CCD, DIGIC image processor, 4x optical zoom lens, 1.8-inch TFT color LCD and 9-point Auto Intelligent Auto focus system in a camera that is small enough to fit comfortably in a coat pocket or purse.
