I got this camera as a present for the end of year holidays (sanitized to be PC) from the wife as she's fed up with our Sony 5 Megapixel camera that has so much boot up time and shutter lag it nearly missed the holidays entirely (press, yawn, ponder, flash, darn missed again).

So far I am... Read full review »

Pros High Megapixles, light.
Cons Poor battery life, blurry, slow shutter.
Recommended it? No

Two years ago I decided to buy a digital camera to stay up-to-date on technology. I did a bit of research via Consumer Reports looking for recommendations and features to look for in a camera. At the time, they were very happy with many different Pentax digital cameras.

Not wanting to pay... Read full review »

Canon's A495 - Lean & Mean style

byHoward_Creech Jan 7, 2011
54 Helpfuls 55 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap, very good pictures
Cons None at this price
Recommended it? Yes

The Canon Powershot A495 is a compact digicam available on-line for less than ninety dollars. What do buyers have to give up when they buy an A495?  The A495 doesn’t provide an optical viewfinder, relying instead on the 2.5 inch LCD for framing/composition, captured image review, and...

Low-cost, basic point-n-shoot camera with good video

Pros Inexpensive, good pictures, easy to use, good video
Cons poor battery consumption,  too long to load flash for next shot, shuttle realease...
Recommended it? Yes

Although I already have a compact camera(Canon G11), it’s still too bulky to carry around, so, I look for a sub-compact camera that can be easily put into a pocket, a basic, no-frill, point-n-shoot and has to be cheap.
