Canon's A95 - my fourth and favorite Canon

Author's Rating:

Pros: Great pictures, high battery life, swivel screen, great movies, high resolution. GREAT PRICE.

Cons: (These are negligible:) Large file sizes, youll need more flash cards. None serious.

Bottom Line:
If you're looking to do more than snapshots but less than professional photographs, it's the A95 without a doubt; most of us fit in this category. Read More

Cons: a bit on the heavy side zoom/telephoto is not very refined

Bottom Line:
There may be others with a smaller & lighter body, but the A95 will not be surpassed by others in its class in terms of photo quality! Read More
