The Canon PowerShot A95, incorporating a 3x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 38-114 mm in the 35 mm format), replaces the A80 released in October 2003 as the flagship model of the PowerShot A series.
The first A-series model to incorporate a 1/1.8″, five-megapixel CCD sensor, Canon’s PowerShot A95 combines a range of advanced new shooting features found on high-end models, including FlexiZone AF/AE, which enables users to move the AF/AE point freely around the viewfinder for easy focusing and spot metering of off-center subjects without having to reframe the shot. The model also features 21 shooting modes – the most of any Canon digital camera – including an eight-setting Special Scene Mode that offers the new Kids & Pets and Night Snapshot settings.
The Canon PowerShot A95 incorporates an enlarged 1.8″, Vari-Angle LCD monitor offering increased resolution of around 118,000 dots for easier visibility. Enabling rotation through a horizontal arc of 180 degrees and a vertical arc of 270 degrees, the monitor permits easy framing, or folding away for protection when not in use. Further enhancing performance is the addition of the one-touch Print/Share button*, and a full range of optional accessories, including a Tele Converter, Wide Angle Converter and a Waterproof Case enabling underwater photography at depths up to 40 meters.
*The Print/Share button functions with Canon’s Direct Print-enabled inkjet and CP-series compact photo printers as well as any printer compatible with the PictBridge standard
