the PowerShot A520 is the replacement for the PowerShot A85, and continues the line of best-selling budget models that goes right back to early 2001 with the A10 and A20. The changes are evolutionary rather than revolutionary; a reduction in size and weight ( it's 13% smaller and 20% lighter) , the inclusion of a new four times optical zoom lens ( the A85 had a three times) , zoom-linked flash, a shift from CompactFlash to SD card for storage and a drop to two AA batteries from four.
