Canon PowerShot A95 Digital Camera

Pros: Easy enough for beginners AND the features for the more advanced photographers.
Cons: Low quality in the digital zoom, low capacity memory card, purple fringing.

This is a neat little camera! As soon as I got this camera in the mail, I started shooting right away. It is easy to use and if you are more advanced in the photography field, this camera can meet your needs. I just came back from the museum and ...

Pros: Long battery live; swivel lens; 10x optical zoom
Cons: Terrible shutter lag; LCD worthless in sunlight

I bought this mainly because of its 10x optical zoom, and because the older Canon I had needed an expensive new battery again. I also thought that the swiveling lens would be handy. Well, I did find the lens useful a couple of times when I wanted to ...

Pros: I'm sorry, but I really can't think of a pro for this camera.
Cons: heavy slow undependable known problems with CF cards expensive-what it does (when it works)

I was looking for a digital camera that would be dependable, semi-easy to use (for when my mom would want to take a few pictures) and would give me great photos. I already had an older sony digital camera, it was a freebie (amex points!) and I loved ...

Pros: Still going strong four years later...
Cons: Resolution not holding up well...

After spending around six months scouring various digital camera reviews online and through magazines, I finally decided on the Canon Powershot A95 5 Megapixel camera as offering the perfect marriage of power and portability. My first digital camera, I ...

Pros: Great looking camera. Takes nice pictures.
Cons: Camera frustrates and hinders impromptu picture taking. Missing many features.

Initial Impressions Of the eight digital cameras I've had, this was the only one where the Mrs. said "wow!" upon seeing it. It's got a very nice finish and a very cool look to the camera. Externally, the only disappointment is in the very cheap ...

Pros: Best Camera. Takes awesome pictures. Easy to record movie clips.
Cons: Not good for long run.

Exactly after two years, I have been getting the E18 error. Since my camera is past its warranty period, there's no way I can get this fixed. All these days, it has been excellent. Very handy, clear, faster shutter speed and a wide variety of modes ...

Pros: swivel screen, easy to use, lots of features, sleek appearance
Cons: slow, bulky, internal engineering problems

FORGET ALL THE PRAISES EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE. ALL OF THAT DOESNT MATTER IF THE CAMERA DOESNT WORK. Look up E18 and Canon and you'll see what I mean. Thank God, I found out by just the standard 'low batteries' but this assembly problems lead to other ...

Pros: Great quality photos, multiple focal points, scene selections, AA batteries, rotating LCD
Cons: full auto seems slow to compose, small video size

I bought this to use mostly as a point and shoot camera, so this review is tailored to those who want to know how I use it and what I like/dislike about it. A comprehensive and fairly impartial review of this and many other cameras can be found at ...

Pros: 5.0 megapixels, easy to use and download pictures, no special batteries required, fairly compact
Cons: Flip out screen not as useful as anticipated. slow shutter response

I evaluated the a95 against the a70, a75, a80 and a85, as well as other Canon models. The a95 seemed to have the best balance between the number of pixels, the quality of Canon and the price. Although I'm not sure how often I'll want to blow up ...

Pros: swivel lens, quick shot , 2.5" screen
Cons: none.

The swivel lens is an awesome feature. I can take pictures at angles that I usually would not think of or even be able to do, without it. If you are trying to get a shot of your cat or child crawling around, or if you are like taking head shots of ...

Pros: Great pictures, long battery life, incredible macro and zoom, swivel design, easy to use.
Cons: No manual adjustments whatsoever.

Is this a good camera for the photography nut? Those who want a lot of control over their photos? How about those who take lots of indoor pictures of people? NO! This camera fails the above tests in my opinion. However, there is a particular ...

Pros: solidly built (not fragile); swivel LCD screen; movie feature; great quality prints
Cons: heavy, bulky, pricey (new), poor auto focus in low lighting

Bought this camera maybe 5 years ago now, and it's still tickin' along. I've dropped it so many times that the little strap holder finally broke off, but it STILL takes fabulous, easy pictures. Aside from the basic stats that you can get from any ...

Pros: photo quality!! ease of use scene modes fit & feel in hand
Cons: a bit on the heavy side zoom/telephoto is not very refined

As an amateur photographer with a desire for high-quality photos, I struggled to choose between the Canon A95 and the Sony DSC-W1. I did all the research and tested them at local electronics stores. Without having the luxury of buying both and trying ...

Pros: 10X lens can be twisted
Cons: OK button does not work OK

I got this camera as a new year's gift for myself one year ago. The things I like about this camera are: the lens is the best part of the camera - can be twisted 180' and is 10 X. I can still remember how clear and close looking the pictures I took of ...

Pros: Sturdy, sleek design. Very ergonomic with intuitive controls and menus. Great pictures and great video!
Cons: Does not come with battery charger or case. 32MB Compact flash is a little small.

Don't read this review if you are looking for hard technical data. Stuff like chromatic aberration (purple fringing) and noise levels at ISO 400 are best left to the experts. My opinion is intended to complement the more technical reviews with feedback ...
