Canon Powershot A95

I will confess two things at the start: first, I am not a top photographer despite having taken thousands of photos in my time for various reasons (before buying the A95) and second, I am a total fan of the A95 camera. Having bought it very competitively for price at £227 including a 256mb compact flash card nearly 3 years ago (much cheaper now of course), it has not once let me down in any way. I have kept the sequential picture counter going and feel that is a good indicator for reliability after the latest count of 6,034 photos and videos. It is more "chunky and robust" than "flimsy and lightweight" but, in my opinion, definitely NOT to ...  Read the complete review

This camera is awesome. I upgraded from a Fuji camera and it was well worth the money. The Canon A95 uses 4 AA batteries, but it eats through normal alkalines way too fast. The swivel screen is a major plus, it's 1.8" compared to 1.5" from the Canon A70. The screen is also higher resolution than the A70. I have used the camera for 6 weeks and printed about 90 pictures so far. The pictures look great and I even cropped to zoom in on some pictures and you couldn't see any sign of pixelation. I love the manual flexibility with this camera, plus the automatic modes make it easy for anyone to use. The camera has a nice solid feel to ...  Read the complete review

Bought this 5 years ago as my first digital camera and am still using the camera. It is 5 mega pixel, 3X optical zoom with 1.8 inch swivel LCD (110k pixel resolution). It uses compact flash cards and AA batteries. I particularly like the fact that it uses AA batteries as these can be found virtually anywhere in the world if you run out of them. Camera has a number of automatic settings which takes great picture in most of the situations. It also has special scene mode for taking photos in commonly found situations like bright sunlight situations on beach, night photography, action etc. On top of this camera allows you to set most of the controls manually as well. This is ...  Read the complete review

After using Fuji and Jenoptiks for couple of years, I fall in love with my friend's Canon A75. My dream came true when I ended up breaking my Jenoptiks 2 MP camera and needed to buy new one. This time I went for quality purchase. Brand new Canon A95. I was very happy with everything. Picture quality is THE BEST. Speed of camera ready time for next photo is amazing. The design and grip of this A95 is classic. The picture modes are plenty and lot more fun that other compact cameras. The full manual controls are dream of any to-be photographer. There are some very useful and well thought aspects of this camera. It usues 4 standard AA batteries. The swivel LCD screen is ...  Read the complete review

The Canon Powershot A95 Digital Camera is the successor of the Powershot A80 and was released in August of 2004. It has 5 megapixels and an impressive 1.8 inch LCD monitor which rotates to suit your every photographic need. As with many Canon entry level phones, the A95 has pretty poor background noise reduction and, therefore, inadequate movie mode. It does have good colour resolution, though, and with the usual price tag of around £150, it's not a bad option for an entry level digital camera. It features 3x digital zoom and flexi zone auto focus, which works incredibly well. All in all, if you purchase this camera as a ...  Read the complete review
