The Canon PowerShot A95 is for those who
desire a digital camera with all the pro features
necessary to learn and grow in digital photography
-- at an affordable price. In this sense, it is
similar to the Canon S1, minus the 10x optical
zoom. Instead, it has 3x optical zoom, a 1.8 in.
Vari-Angle LCD, AF-Assist Illuminator, plus gives
5MP of excellent image quality.
The Canon A95 captures image detail way beyond
its competitors (except the Sony P150). It is
difficult to obtain a package that is so complete
and well implemented at such an affordable price.
Where most of its competitors provide only the
camera, the Canon A95 comes with optional wide
and tele converter lenses and close-up lens (a
lens adapter is also needed), and a waterproof
case that allows you to shoot underwater up to
40 m (130 ft.).
The Canon PowerShot A95 is our entry-level
recommendation for an aspiring amateur photographer
setting out to learn photography seriously. Four
AA Alkaline batteries included. Battery charger
and rechargeable batteries optional.
