Canon A495

The Canon PowerShot A495 is available as Amazon’s Gold Deal of the Day for $49 today only.

The Canon A495 is a 10MP point and shoot camera with a 3.3x optical zoom lens.  No real bells an whistles on this one, but then again – it’s only $49.  I just ordered one for my 8-year-old (his favorite color is blue).  It will be his first camera.

Here’s the direct link to Amazon’s listing.
