Originally posted April 23: If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift and she has hinted she wants an inexpensive, easy-to-use point & shoot camera, pennypincher in the forums spotted a nice deal at Amazon.ca! Right now, the Canon Powershot A800 10 MP Digital Camera with 3.3x Optical Zoom (Red) is on sale for $59 + free shipping. And, with this coupon code RDCAMERA, you can save another $10 bringing your total to $49 before taxes. The coupon code is good until April 28.

If you don’t mind owning a red camera, this point and shoot offers 19 auto settings, so you don’t have to manually adjust your shooting settings whenever you’re capturing and transitioning from one scenario to another. Reviews for this camera are pretty decent with many citing the camera’s great value and image quality, easy operation and long battery life.

If you're interested, you'll want to put your order in sooner rather than later as we've seen similar camera deals like this from Amazon go up in price. The Canon Powershot A800 also comes in silver and black but it is slightly more expensive ($65.89 each) and the coupon code is not valid on these colours. Visit Amazon.ca for more info.

  Care to point a phone with optical zoom and 10 MP camera for $50 ?!?

  Almost all don't. Still can't figure out why it's such a rarity to find a flash in a camera phone.

  i'm pretty sure you have no idea what you are talking about.
  
  optical zoom, real flash, sensor that is 10x as big, runs on 2 AA's, costs a fraction of a phone

- C h d k compatible too I believe!

  probably a few reasons. first, they can only cannibalize other products so fast. flashes require a big flash and a big capacitor. definitely would impact size, which many makers may not want to tackle when they get $600 for phones without one. power usage would be huge comparatively. Finally i am not sure what kind of secondary circuitry would be required to deal with the power surges and such.
  
  probably biggest reason is the cannibalizing vs. demand. people aren't demanding it yet.

  General rule:
  
  The worst pocket digital camera beats the best quality phone-camera, any day. Try it and see. No one who seriously cares about quality photos is using a phone to take pictures.
  
  This deal is at least warm, if I needed a cheap backup camera I'd order this without hesitation.

  General rule yes, but does not apply in all cases: http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n8_vs_...review-519.php
  
  That said, you can't go wrong at $50 for an A800 provided you have a need for a basic point and shoot.

  The iPhone 4/4S has it. The nexus s and galaxy nexus does as well. So does many other Samsung phones.

  My LG Optimus Quantum also has a flash. And it takes crap photos compared to any sub $100 point and shoot camera.

  I'm a bit confused by this... I thought a TON of phones had flash. My last 3 phones have had it, nexus one, incredible S, and Sensation. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something... However, like others have pointed out, the quality doesn't even compare

  Neither is the flash output on a cell phone camera.
  
  Thanks OP. Might pick one up just for spare as it runs on AA.

  "Flash" and "LED light that turns on for 0.5 seconds when the shutter goes off" are two different things.

- My Xperia X10 comes with a 8MP Sensor and a LED Light not very bright though.
  Sony's 2011 line of phones come with a flash.
