Canon PowerShot A95 Digital Camera

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 ...

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: 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: Excelling I.Q., loads of manual controls, camera that grows with you, easy to use interface
Cons: Some redeye, 3x zoom, autofocus a tad slow, USB 1.1, start up 2.5 seconds

After much research and deliberation, I decided to purchase the Powershot A95, over the Sony DSC-W1. Every camera has its pros and cons, and each are designed for with a different person in mind, but I felt this was the camera for me, although I'm sure ...

Pros: Terrific ergonimics, outstanding picture quality, versatile controls
Cons: AA batteries (personal pref), no RAW mode

Last year I reviewed Canon's PowerShot A80 digital camera and came away largely impressed, except for two aspects of its design that I considered deal-breakers. The A80 took 4 megapixel digital images of exceptional quality under a wide variety of ...

Pros: Great pictures, high battery life, swivel screen, great movies, high resolution. GREAT PRICE.
Cons: (These are negligible:) Large file sizes, you’ll need more flash cards. None serious.

First, this review won't be going into all the technical comparisons to other cameras - there are other reviews that do that better than I could, so I'll be sticking to why I've found this to be the best camera for me (and hopefully others) after using ...

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: First class pictures. Comprehensive features that allow user creativity. Articulated LCD. Price.
Cons: AiAF a bit slow. Software average.

After reading a number of reviews of digicams around the £200 mark, I decided on the A95 due to it's impressive range of manual options and the reputation Canon have for quality. (This despite the "E18" scare)I wanted a camera I would be able to learn ...

Pros: Nice camera to have.
Cons: 30 seconds of film - regardless of memory size

I got mine from Amazon. I also bought a 1G SanDisk and a rechargeable batteries charger with car kit. Don't know much about photography I just like to be able to take a photo when I see something I want to see again and/or to show to my friends. ...

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: 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: - Manual controls - standard AA batteries
Cons: - fairly large - small zoom range

My 4th Canon, and still happy. My first camera was a Canon TX, a basic SLR film camera. I had a lot of fun with it in school (25 years ago!) and it took great pictures. Many years later, I replaced it with a Canon Rebel SLR film camera. Again, I ...

Pros: 1.8" LCD Flip Out, Scene Shot, Manual Control, Nimh battery, 5 mp
Cons: More Noise, purple fringing

This time I give 4 to Canon A95, I was hope this model will be much better upgrade from A80 (I had A80 also). To be honest, I'm little bit unhappy with Canon how they make this model, why? A95 body look cheaper than A80 body that has nice shape and look ...

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: Plenty of manual settings, excellent quality photos
Cons: Purple Fringing and ISO noise at 200/400

The A95 is the top of the line Canon Powershot A series camera until its replacement is announced mid 2005. There are 2 models below this in the A series camera line which are good cameras as well. The A95 boasts some features that are not common in ...
