Canon PowerShot A610

Canon PowerShot A610 (S/N 2436207491) - Good Condition | Classic CCD Sensor Performance with Fully Articulated Screen

The Canon PowerShot A610 is a standout model from the golden era of digital compacts, highly regarded for its CCD sensor which many photographers prefer for its film-like color science and "soulful" rendering. Unlike many modern compacts, the A610 features a high-quality 4x optical zoom lens and a fully articulated flip-out screen, making it exceptionally versatile for macro work, vlogging-style framing, or shooting from creative angles. Powered by standard AA batteries, it is a reliable and easy-to-maintain choice for those rediscovering early digital aesthetics. This unit, serial number 2436207491, remains a robust tool for both nostalgic snapshots and serious manual-control photography.

Specialist Note

"The PowerShot A610 is a 'secret weapon' for fans of early digital photography. It feels much more like a miniaturized DSLR than a standard point-and-shoot, thanks to its chunky grip and full manual dials. The fact that it runs on four AA batteries is a huge plus—you never have to worry about finding a proprietary charger or a discontinued battery pack. It’s the perfect bridge between a toy digicam and a professional tool."
