 Canon PowerShot A430 - LCD monitor
According to Steve Digicams: "Like its predecessor, the Canon A430's ergonomics are great. The various controls are well placed and easily accessed by your fingertips. It still has the same Zoom control that we disliked on past models, but it works just fine. The Menu system is logically organized and changing settings quickly is very easy with the FUNCtion menu. I was happy to see that Canon did away with the tiny 1.5-inch LCD display. The 1.8-inch LCD offers a better viewing surface."
Canon PowerShot A430 camera - Steves Digicams review conclusion
Steve continues: "The overall image quality is excellent for such an affordably priced camera. In fact it sometimes rivals that of more expensive cameras with similar resolution. Outdoors, I found it captured nice images with pleasing color saturation. The 4x optical zoom lens offers better flexibility in composing your shots than your typical 3x zoom. With some help from the AF system, the lens produced tach sharp images with very little edge blurring. I found the lens exhibits moderate barrel distortion at full wide angle as well as small traces of chromatic aberrations (purple fringing) around brightly lit subjects."
