About the Canon PowerShot A1300
The Canon PowerShot A1300, released in February 2012, is an AA-powered compact built around a 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor of about 16 megapixels. Its 5x optical zoom covers 28-140 mm in 35mm terms at F2.8-6.9, giving a bright wide end for indoor snapshots.
The body is chunkier than the lithium-ion models in Canon's range, measuring 95 x 62 x 30 mm and weighing about 174 g. That extra volume holds two AA batteries, which means fresh power is available almost anywhere that sells common cells. The monitor is 2.7 inches, and images are saved to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards. For travel, children's events or a first camera, the straightforward controls and easily replaced batteries are the main appeal. The camera favors practicality over slimness, and its CCD sensor gives it the characteristic rendering of earlier compact cameras.
Buying one used
The A1300 runs on two AA batteries, so fresh alkaline or NiMH cells are all it needs. Check the battery compartment for corrosion, test the 5x lens extension, inspect the 2.7-inch screen, and try an SD, SDHC or SDXC card.
