I liked the last year's 3.2-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A410 and decided to get an updated version - 4-Megapixel Canon PowerShot A430. I bought my A430 for $144. The prices went down since then and you can get an A430 for less than $135. Can you get good picture quality and features for such a low...

My husband is a photographer and we usually use our DSLR (A nikon) but when it comes to point and shoots and having a small camera with to capture the kids at their cute/ silly/ fun moments the canon powershot a490 is where it's at. This (for the price) is the best point and shoot out there.
