Family photography at it's best
The A820 sets new standards for entry-level cameras giving excellent image quality without the fuss of complex controls. Most of the modes have been automated, leaving you free to enjoy your photography without worrying about getting the settings right.
Bigger zoom, closer action
Almost all compact cameras sport a three times zoom lens. The A820 breaks the mould by offering a four times optical range, equivalent to 39 mm – 156 mm on a 35mm film camera.
In fact, a zoom range of up to twelve times can be used by combining both digital (x 3) and optical (x 4) zoom.
Clear and bright
The large, bright 2.5" LCD monitor is treated with an anti-reflective coating to prevent glare, making it easy to confirm settings and compose pictures, even in bright daylight.
xD/SD card convenience
The A820 features an xD/SD compatible slot, allowing the use of either xD or SD cards.
This will give you the flexibility to buy the card you want, use cards from previous cameras, or choose the media that fits with your other desktop devices like laptops, PDAs or card readers.
A 2 GB card will give you 495 shots at the highest quality setting and lowest compression.
Although the camera comes with built-in 10 MB of memory, you'll need to purchase an xD or SD card (ideally 512 MB, 1 GB or 2 GB) to really get the most out of the camera.
