For sale: Canon PowerShot S230 3.2 MP Digital ELPH Camera with 2x Optical Zoom

Amazon.com: Camera & Photo: Canon PowerShot S230 3.2 MP Digital ELPH Camera with 2x Optical Zoom

I'm selling our much loved Canon s230. This camera was purchased @ March 2003 and is no longer under warrantee.

I'm selling because I've replaced the s230 with a later model Canon s410. The s410 is 4 megapixel and 3 times zoom, it's a nice improvement on the s230, Even so, the s230 looks better that the s410 and I prefer the s230's smooth trigger action.

This would be a great starter camera or a second camera. It is very compact, very rugged, takes great pictures and comes with a very compact travel charger. Made in Japan and feels solid. Very good condition. Only oddity is sometimes the CF memory compartment door doesn't pop open, I have to delicately help with a thumbnail. It's been like that since day one, I noticed Canon put a much stronger spring in the later model s410.

I am selling the camera, camera case, and flash card in a package:

- 256 MB CF flash card: $30 (these sell new for $50)
- leather case (fits very nicely): $8 (selll new for $12)
- s230 camera plus all accessories including data cable, AV cable, charger, CDs, manual, etc: $202
- shipping: $10

TOTAL: $250

Note for purposes of comparison the s410 with case and memory card and shipping would be: $410.
