Why I Love This Camera

byking_sal May 29, 2006
34 Helpfuls 35 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good quality pictures, Long battery life, Low price
Cons Uses expensive Memory Stick media
Recommended it? Yes

It's not everyday that I'm impressed with a particular digital camera. In fact, I come across several digital cameras monthly due to the nature of my hobby. Last month, I worked with the DSC-W50 to photograph some cars for a local automobile dealer. Having already worked with the DSC-W30, I wasn't... Read full review »

Impressive camera, improves on a great line...

Pros Better than it's more expensive predecessors. Fixes key faults.
Cons Television real-estate hucksters. Camera? No cons, really. Good value for price.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been a DSC-T1 owner for about 2.5 years now I guess, and I've had a chance to run the DSC-W50 through its paces and see how they stack up. The DSC-T1 broke new ground with its deck-of-cards form factor, and, I must say, despite my aging Nikon Coolpix 995's vastly superior indoor flash... 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

bydenniskly Oct 4, 2010

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. After a long search I come up with a $99 Canon Powershot A495. I've been... Read full review »
