Canon PowerShot A95 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Excellent image quality. High resolution swivel LCD. Lots of new scene modes. Uses widely available AA batteries.

Weakness: Slightly noisier images than the A80, it's predecessor. Not the lightest camera available.

Canon's successor to the popular A80 improves on it's predeccessor in many ways. The most noticable upgrade is the new five megapixel CCD sensor, a one megapixel increase from the A80. This resolution upgrade does lead to slightly noiser images, but the difference is minimal. The A95 retains the swivel screen of the A80, but improves on it. The screen is now 1.8", up from 1.5" on the A80. The...

Canon PowerShot A95 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: High quality 5MP pictures, Camera feels great in hand, swivel LCD screen, best bang for the buck camera.

Weakness: Included 32MB CF card is too small.

This camera is awesome. I upgraded from a Canon A70 and it was well worth the money. The Canon A95 uses 4 AA bateries, but it eats through normal alkalines way too fast. I highly recommend getting rechargeable NiMH AA batteries and a quick charger. 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...

Canon PowerShot A95 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Excellent quality pictures, Nice flip out LCD display, compact, very easy to use, various shooting modes, price, mainly higher battery life with NiMH rechargeble battery

Weakness: limited 3X zoom, Compact flash card slot, bundle should include AC adapter

This is the best digital camera in its price range. It gives you all professional camera features and quality, yet much cheaper than expensive 8 megapixel digital cameras. Specifically, I am impressed with the picture quality of this camera, which is equal to expensive 8 megapixal cameras (which i have used for some time). Extra megapixals donot do anything in improving picture quality. To pay...

Canon PowerShot A95 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Compact, very easy to learn how to use, takes great pictures. Many different adjustments available.

Weakness: Regular AA batteries don't last very long. Can't tell how much power is left until you need to replace. No other weaknesses as I can tell!

I'm really glad I waited a few years until this camera came along. This is a great digital camera that you can grow into. There are many adjustments that I haven't tried out yet. You can also purchase wider and longer zoom lense and other accessories. The adjustable flip screen is fantastic as you don't need to become a contourtionist to get a good angle for your photo. I don't know why other...

Canon PowerShot A95 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: on/off switch, multiple shooting setting i.e. fast moving objects, light weight, most controls are intuitive if you have had digitals before. Love the tilting/rotating view finder. No lens caps!

Weakness: the doors to batteries and CF slot seem flimsy.

I take pictures for the local animal shelter. There are several inherent issues - 1) the dogs and puppies don't really like to pose. You have "grab" shots so the setting for fast moving subjects has been wonderful. 2) often there is low light and this camera will let me take pictures in low light with a fast enough shutter speed that there is little to no motion blur. So far I love it. There are...

Canon PowerShot A95 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Great picture quality. Easy transfer to my computer or other applications. My first digital and has been so much easier because of the comprehensive manuel included--excellent camera.

Weakness: So far-- I have seen no weaknesses. I couldn't be happier.

I had done much research on digital cameras. Reading reviews on CNET, in PC World Magazine, as well as PC Magazine. This Canon PowerShot A95 has all you need to get started without being intimidated; but plenty of features that can expand your picture taking abilities as time goes by. I am impressed with the picture quality and the ease of use this camera offers. Even a novice like myself can...

Canon PowerShot A95 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Everything!

Weakness: Can be noisy when zooming in and out.

I love this camera! The pictures are wonderful! I was originally looking at a Kodak and had the chance to try out a few. They seemed great and very easy to use. But then I got my hands on this canon and could not believe how much better the picture quality was! It was a thousand times better than any other camera I have tried out. It is a great point and shoot on the automatic setting for...

Canon PowerShot A95 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Great pictures, tons of manual controls, solidly built, flip-out LCD

Weakness: Redeye, not a great bundle

First off, I'm a beginner to photography, so I may not have the eye for details others have. However, I'm very impressed w/ the picture quality. I've read some reviews that say the picture quality isn't as good as the A80's quality (same lens + more megapixels = more noise), but I haven't noticed it. I had an A80 for a bit, but had to return it, and then got the A95. I loved the A80, and love...

Canon PowerShot A95 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Great camera for the price. The larger swivel screen is great. Great shooting modes, and camera is easy to use but has features of the higher end cameras.

Weakness: Night shots and bright bright sunlight shots weren't what I had hoped. My major complaint is that even with the bigger screen sometimes pictures that seem clear on the camera aren't when developed.

I've had the camera for about 6 months in which time I've been on vacation to Asia and had a chance to use many of the camera's 14 shooting modes. I was pretty impressed with the functionality of it and the simplicity of getting great shots. The only complaints are that sometimes pictures that seem clear on the screen are blurry when they are developed. The other main complaint is that the mode...

Canon PowerShot A95 5 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Great compact camera that fairly easy to use. Swivel LCD makes the camera highly flexible for a variety of shooting situations. Addition of manual controls cover all types of shooting conditions.

Weakness: The manual could be better written. The memory that comes with the camera is too small to be really useful. You'll need to upgrade the memory.

This is a great camera for the price. (I was able to get it on-line for $294.00) The body is comfortable to hold due to its shape. I can't say enough about the swivel LCD monitor. I've been able to take facial portraits of myself and another person by pointing the camera around to face us and all the while monitoring the framing of the shot with the LCD swiveled towards us. It also helps when...

Canon PowerShot A95

Every now and then, a digicam comes along that just seems to get everything right, and the Canon PowerShot A95 is one of these. In virtually all respects (color, resolution, image noise), its images are good to excellent, and its range of features and capabilities is hard to beat for the price. Its 5-megapixel CCD and good-quality lens deliver sharp images with good color and little distortion....
