Canon continues to flesh out its popular Powershot A Series of consumer cameras with the Powershot A520, a four-megapixel snapper with a 4x optical zoom. With an estimated price of $300—and a street price probably far below that—the 520 continues Canon's line of high-quality, easy-to-use cameras that don't take a lot of savvy to manage. Seriously, cheap memory card format (MMC/SD), common battery type (AA), and really nice quality images—what's not to like?

The 520 is the follow-up to the Powershot 510, which was just announced a week or two back.
