Affordable High Quality Compact Digital Camera
The Canon Powershot A495 is probably one of the most affordable compact digital cameras out there.
A little bit bulky and encased in a full plastic body, including a plastic lens barrel, its design may not catch your eyes at first, but this pocket-sized, AA-battery powered digital compact will surprise you in many ways once you take it out of the box.
Canon PowerShot A495 has the compact sophistication and relaxed simplicity that make it a natural for beginners and everyone else who craves style and convenience.
The 10.
0-megapixel resolution and 3.
3x optical zoom make it easy to capture the action in dazzling color and brilliant detail.
To help you make the most of your creativity, new Scene Modes make your photographs standout.
A bright, bold 2.
5-inch LCD makes shooting and playback a genuine pleasure.
Plus, choose from any of three dazzling colors.
With a high-quality 2.
5" LCD screen, composing shots are easy, and the auto scene detection function makes taking pictures a breeze.
The DIGIC III Image Processor keeps it all looking sharp.
With the DIGIC III processor (although not as good as Canon's latest Digic IV processor, it does a fine job here), the camera's software is able to detect up to 9 faces within a single frame quickly and adjusts the exposure accordingly so the subjects don't turn out overexposed or underexposed.
Recovery time is amazingly fast, again thanks to the DIGIC III processor normally only found in the more expensive IXUS models and Canon's DSLRs, so you can go on to shoot the next picture almost immediately.
The DIGIC III processor also makes sure that the pictures come out as clean and as noise free as possible.
The Canon A495 shoots from ISO 80 all the way up to ISO 1600, and with a small 1/2.
3 inch sensor, keeping the images clean and noise free is no easy feat.
The white balance adjustment is nearly perfect, with the camera producing almost natural colors even under fluorescent lights.
Test images have been uploaded under the customer's images section showing the color reproduction and noise performance of the camera.
With its low price point and high quality images, the Canon Powershot A495 makes a perfect gift for any casual photographer, and for someone who's just getting into photography, it has enough features to become a back-up camera with its ability to use AA batteries straight out of a convenient store.
If you bought this expecting it to perform like a Canon Mark III then you need to learn more about cameras.
For the money it's a great camera.
Very basic but still takes great pics.
Impressive macro mode.
Auto focus performs well.
Lots of different options to play with.
Very small and fits in a back pocket.
This camera produces very good pictures compared to cameras at and slightly below this price range.
Some cameras in this range produce pictures that are "washed out" and "noisy" (mainly any brand that is not from a larger company).
The camera's performance is a little slow to focus and charge the flash, just make sure to pre-focus before taking the shot.
