Product Information
With its streamlined silhouette and smoothly-curved edges, the Canon PowerShot A495 has the compact sophistication and relaxed simplicity that make it a natural for beginners and everyone else who craves style and convenience. The 10.0 megapixels resolution and 3.3x optical zoom make it easy to capture the action in dazzling color and brilliant detail. The DIGIC III image processor keeps it all looking sharp. To help you make the most of your creativity, scene modes make your photographs standout. A bright, bold 2.5-inch LCD makes shooting and playback a genuine pleasure.

Product Features
  • Quality 10.0 megapixels imaging
    A 10.0 megapixels sensor gives you the detail needed for superb, large-scale prints, or creatively cropping shots to perfection.
  • 3.3x optical zoom
    The 3.3x optical zoom lens is designed and manufactured by Canon to the high standards found throughout the Canon photographic range. In combination with digital zoom, magnification of up to 13x can be achieved.
  • Smart auto mode
    Designed to let everyone take great shots, smart auto mode uses Scene Detection technology to determine the shooting scene from subject brightness, contrast, distance and overall hue. The camera selects the scene type from 18 variables, applying the best settings for optimum output. Smart auto mode also includes smart flash exposure, which intelligently adjusts flash settings for optimum results.
  • Attractive and easy
    The PowerShot A495 features a slim, lightweight design and simple, intuitive button layout that lets users of all ages start taking pictures right away.
  • 16 shooting modes
    A selection of 16 shooting modes includes low light, for great shots in darker conditions; super vivid, which adds vibrant colors to your photos; and poster effect, which creatively reduces the number of colors for a retro, poster-like effect.
  • Face Detection technology
    A suite of Face Detection technologies detects multiple faces in a scene and adjusts focus, exposure, flash settings and white balance - for optimal results with natural-looking skin tones. Face Detection self-timer makes group photos easy, taking a shot after an extra face enters the frame. Auto red-eye correction identifies and removes the red-eye effect that can occur when shooting with flash.
  • DIGIC III
    As well as powering intelligent camera technologies such as smart auto, Canon's DIGIC III processor ensures fast response times, superb image quality, advanced noise reduction and accurate color reproduction.
  • Motion Detection technology
    Activated in smart auto mode, Motion Detection technology ascertains movement in the shooting scene. The optimal ISO level is then automatically set, to minimize blur and maximize image quality.
  • Long play movies
    Supplement your still images with fun 30fps VGA movie clips with sound. A long play mode lets you store twice as much footage on the camera's memory card.

    Exactly what you paid for...maybe less

    I lost my old camera and I just wanted a point-and-shoot camera so I could take pictures of me and my friends, my family, and my little nephew. This camera does that but there are many thing I do not like about it. It shuts off everytime after I review my pictures. Everytime you take a take a picture you have to wait like 6 seconds afterwards because it says it is charging the flash. It takes AA batteries, so you cant just plug it into a charger. It is bulky and feels cheap. The worst part about it is the shutting off on its own, it really ticks me off. I turned off the auto power down and it still does it. I have to keep turning off the auto power off too because it seems like everytime I turn it on and the off it goes back to the original settings. Well...I wanted a cheap camera, and I got one. If you are looking for a cheap point-and-shoot camera then this will work, but Id spend a little more money getting something you'll be happy with. This may be ok for like...a kids first camera. Positive side of things....lets see. The pictures look nice, it has different setting you can put on it like nightshot, portrait, indoor, kids and pets, and stuff like that. The person I bought this from shipped everything very nicely and well packaged, so I am very happy with the person I bought it from, just not the product-which isn't their fault at all.

    Bottom line: Pick another camera because this one just doesn't cut the mustard my friends.

    Canon PowerShot A495 10.0 Megapixel

    This was a replacement camera for an older Canon used for work as an auto damage appraiser. This little camera rocks - it self focuses, takes great photos -easy to set up, use and maintain. Built fairly durable - mine gets dropped all the time. The battery door is a little on the cheap side be careful
    sliding it shut - a few wrong angles and the door will crack and not hold the batterys tight enough for a connection. The battery life is not real good - takes a litle whle for the flash to boot up but you can turn it off and the low resolution of light will enable the camera to take a clear shot. All in all for the price I think this is a great camera made by a reputable company.
    I would suggest this to anyone who wants to take great photos with little effort. And it comes in colors - not just black and silver like most others.
