Shoot casually with Canon PowerShot A495!

Introduction:

Canon PowerShot A495 has got everything the beginners seek in an entry-level digital camera-flexible controls, simplified layout and stylish design that make way for a seamless shooting experience. A new addition to the successful PowerShot series, the camera supports a wide range of memory cards like SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC/MMC plus/HC MMC plus cards.

Features:

The PowerShot A495 in spite of its resemblance to its sibling A 490 has additional features that enhance the user experience like Face Self-Timer Capture and 9 point Face AiAF feature. Being a beginner’s camera, the A 495 comes packed with a Smart Auto feature that takes the guess work out of performance and automatically selects the appropriate setting for your picture. An interesting combination of such 18 shooting pre-sets is available to provide an easy & enriched shooting experience to the user.

Pros:

• The camera sports a 10.0 megapixels resolution CCD sensor that delivers life-like images with crystal clarity and great detail. This high resolution sensor makes it possible to make large prints without sacrificing detail.
• Record movies in VGA format with 640 x 480 resolution at 30 frames per second. The maximum size allowed for a video clip is 4 GB.
• Special effects like Super Vivid and Poster effect will bring out the colors in the picture and highlights them artistically in an eye-pleasing manner. These modes are a must for any creative shooter.

Cons:

• The camera lacks an image stabilization technology.
• Battery life is too short and the camera fails to shoot movies in HD format. No zooming option is available while shooting videos.
• Overall performance of this camera is sluggish and time-consuming.
• As viewfinder is absent from this model the user should depend on the LCD alone for composing movies. The low-resolution LCD poses glaring problems while shooting in direct sun light.

Pricing Range: Make this beginner’s camera yours by paying just $99-$130. Available in Red, Blue & Silver!

Final Verdict: Introduced along with its sibling A 490, the A495 promises added features and functionality for a little higher price. The camera has a thick body of compact size and has basic controls that might fail to lure advanced shooters. There is nothing extraordinary about this camera’s performance as there are several other models that boast the same performance and features set for almost the same price.
