My wife and I have been wanting to upgrade to a better camera for a while now.. lately we`ve been taking a lot of pics between the both of us with my detailing and her horse shows. While this camera takes EXCELLENT photos and has been extremely reliable we need something with a little more range as far as focus zoom goes. The arenas my wife and daughter compete in are HUGE... so I need something to work for our needs.



Oh yeah.. this thing does record short video WITH audio. This was one of the main reasons I bought it because it had audio included in the video capture.



Anyways.. here it is..



Canon Powershot A40

-2.1MP

-3x optical zoom

-2.5x digital zoom

-1.5" LCD screen

-Compact Flash card (Im including a 128MB card)

-Auto Focus

-Manual Mode

-Macro Mode

-Auto White balance

-ISO ratings 50/100/200/400

-Video mode WITH AUDIO!

-Formats JPEG/AVI/WAV

-Self timer mode

-Multiple pics with one click

-No red eye mode



The camera also has the option of adding on aftermarket lenses.



With the A40 Im including a camera bag and 128MB compact flash card. It also comes with the original box and ALL paperwork including my receipt along with original CD ROM disk. Like I mentioned, this camera has been extremely durable and reliable. After owning this camera I will continue to buy Canon products. Some of you have seen my detailing pictures, they were all taken with this camera. I will provide some samples below. This camera is a great point and shoot camera with other modes for more advance pic shooting with even further capabilities because it can accept aftermarket lenses.

I checked online and it looks like this camera still goes for $200 w/o card or accessories. (bag)



Id like to get $150 for this and Ill split shipping for those too far away. If you pay paypal then please include all neccessary PP fees.



THANKS!

A 2 megapixel camera is worth ~$50-60. Sorry to burst your bubble. You can get one on ebay with a 256MB card for $63. Many others to choose from.



one that just sold: eBay: Canon PowerShot A40 2.0 Megapixel, Extras (item 220046035077 end time Nov-12-06 17:29:16 PST) (http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-PowerShot-A40-2-0-Megapixel-Extras_W0QQitemZ220046035077QQihZ012QQcategoryZ333 5QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Thanks buddy :rolleyes: (please note the sarcasm)



A PM would have been a much nicer way of letting me know instead of derailing my for sale thread to other cameras on ebay. I had no idea they are that cheap on ebay.



Much appreciated.. (theres that sarcasm again)

That may be your best bet then...........I was looking at a 3.0 mp last nght that was less then what your asking....

Anything over a year old has depreciated quite a bit....and withe all the holiday sales going on, well...........its just timing.

Take a look here also......... (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00006412G/ref=dp_olp_2/104-8465933-2347929)
