 Canon Powershot A85
 Canon Powershot A85 ... versatile 4.0 Megapixel PowerShot A85 delivers superb quality images from the second you switch it on. Selectable scene modes cover everything from the beach to the ski slope.Canon has combined some of the world's most advanced digital imaging technology with sixty years of optical heritage to deliver the deceptively simple PowerShot A85: a camera that could not be easier to use, yet with features you can indulge your creative urge with. Every function on the PowerShot A85 works with you to help take great photos. The 4.0 Megapixel CCD sensor provides enough power to capture every nuance of every shot. Canon Visionary Technologies combine in the form of a superb quality lens and super fast processor to ensure accurate, high clarity image rendering. To speed up focusing and optimize exposures, the camera's iSAPs system analyzes the scene and makes setting adjustments even before the shutter release is pressed. The PowerShot A85 has a 3x optical zoom to close in on the action, giving you greater scope to get the desired composition. From fully automatic 'point-and-shoot' to completely manual 'total creative control', 13 shooting modes cover every situation. A special 'Scene Mode' gives you access to 6 additional pre-programmed modes including 'foliage', 'beach' and 'fireworks'. The 9-point AiAF ensures beautifully crisp results - even with off-center subjects. Take up to 3-minute movie clips, complete with sound recording, fun playback and in-camera editing on the large 1.8" LCD monitor. For very high definition playback on a TV, the camera can also record up to 30 second VGA clips. A Print/Share button makes PC-less home printing to any PictBridge or Canon Direct Print compatible printer a breeze, and simplifies uploads to any Windows PC. When connected to a Canon Compact Photo Printer, the PowerShot A85 allows you to print a sequence of movie clip frames, and produce your own ID photos. With Canon's ZoomBrowser EX (for Windows) and ImageBrowser (for Macintosh) you can arrange photo albums, crop photographs and adjust contrast and brightness with ease. Newest Review: ... of why I like this particular camera. Simple to set up and use? Point and shoot? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yep. The Canon ... more ... PowerShot A85 meets these criteria admirably.
Slot in 4 x AA batteries, set the camera to "auto" mode, and that's you ready to take your first photos. I found after a while that it tended to eat batteries like a ravenous wolf, which can prove expensive if you use the camera a lot. So I invested in a 12 pack of rechargeable batteries, so that I always have fully charged batteries to fall back on when the ones in the camera begin to run low.
In fact, there are 13 different shooting modes on the camera which you...more |

Canon Powershot A85: What A Cracking Photo (2004 words)

A couple of years back I discovered that not only could I buy some outstanding bargains at eBay, but that used properly it could also give me a very lucrative extra income. I have a large picture framing workshop at the rear of my house (850 sq. feet) which came about almost accidentally when I hung onto the equipment after a speculative retail business venture went wrong in the early 1990's. As well as all the framing equipment, I now also have literally about 20,000 or so "fine art prints" and oil paintings of all shapes and sizes, which for years simply sat on shelves in my workshop, only being used occasionally for golf prizes, presents, etc. But ...

I have been using the A85 for over a year now, I can honestly say I've had the best performance from it of any camera I have owned so far. The unit itself is rugged and well built with the battery enclosure providing a nice gripping area for when shots are taken. The rear is taken up by the LCD screen which suffers from very little glare in bright lighting conditions. With my previous cameras I often found I reverted to the viewfinder in bright sunlight. Not so here. Also residing on the rear is a selector switch that allows you to switch between playback and photograph, buttons for display mode, printer/pc download, menu access and function select. There is ... Read the complete review
Canon Powershot A85 Digital Camera (667 words)

I purchased this camera a couple of months ago after my trusty twenty year old Nikon snapper finally spluttered its shutter. I bought it from Argos where it cost £149.99, reduced from £229.90 and I've just done a price comparison on Kelkoo, which brought up Amazon as the cheapest supplier at £143.99. It is my first digital camera and I've been having lots of fun with it. I was initially concerned about the amount of pages in the user guide as I prefer just playing about and getting the feel of things rather than reading through instructions, but I needn't have worried it's not difficult to get the hang of, although I am still very much a beginner. I like ... Read the complete review
