Canon PowerShot A540 — 6MP Y2K Point-and-Shoot, Powers On, Sold As-Is

A classic early-2000s Canon point-and-shoot that powers on and functions. The A540 was a workhorse of its era — 6MP, 4x optical zoom, AA batteries (no proprietary pack to track down), and Canon's reliable Ai AF system. These are popular with the Y2K digicam crowd and budget photographers alike.

Specs:

• 6.0 megapixels
• Canon Zoom Lens 4x — 5.8–23.2mm f/2.6–5.5
• Ai AF autofocus
• 2x AA batteries (no proprietary battery needed)
• SD/MMC card slot
• Mini-USB + A/V out ports
• Mode dial: Auto, P, Tv, Av, M, video, scene modes

✅ What Works:

• Powers on, boots to menu
• All buttons and mode dial present

⚠️ Issues — Please Read:

• Lens cover does not close fully when camera is powered off
• LCD screen has heavy surface scratching — visible in photos; display image itself
• Body has significant scratches and scuffs throughout, particularly on grip and front panel

What's Included:

• Camera body with wrist strap
• Batteries currently installed
• No memory card, USB cable, A/V cable, or box

Priced to reflect condition. Great for parts, a shooter who doesn't mind cosmetic wear, or the Y2K digicam aesthetic crowd.
