Summary: Finally...A dependable digital camera!
Comment: I have had three other digital cameras, two Sony's and a Minolta but this Canon 5MP is really great. I bought two sets of rechargeable batteries so I have some in the charger and the other set in the camera. I love the big LED screen, which can be opened, turned around and even closed with the screen facing inside to protect it. It is easy to use and with a 512 memory card, I always have lots of room for my pics. I just bought my daughter one for Christmas, she had a Sony and the battery doesn't hold a charge. Also, its just the right size, fits great in my purse and its large enough so I can hold it comfortably. I love mine and use it a lot more than I used my other cameras.

Summary: The perfect camera, a great bargain for the price!
Comment: I have owned this camera for 6 months now. First I narrowed down my choice to Canon based on reviews on digital camera sites (I spent 2 weeks reading reviews until my eyes felt burned out!). I didn't like the image quality of Kodak, and the Fuji cameras had excellent images but not all the features I wanted - like unlimited continuous shooting.
After reading tons of reviews I heard the Canon SD models sometimes have an LCD problem and you are also paying a lot more for their slightly more compact size. If you don't care if it is super small, the A series is actually a much better buy!
It is 5 MP and since I do graphic design I do use that resolution, although you won't need it unless you do a lot of zooming in and cropping or enlarging photos. The 3x optical zoom is excellent too. It works well in low light conditions or bright outdoors. The colours are very accurate (important to me for graphic design) and the pictures are clear and very "real" looking.
It really captures motion well, I have taken lots of horse movement shots and the camera has a setting for fast moving objects that can freeze the action without blurring. The camera feels quality and not fragile or cheap.
I love this camera it takes gorgeous photos and has options such as continuous shooting (great for action sequences like a horse going over a jump!) It has an optical plus LCD viewvinder, and you can flip the LCD out or rotate it around in case of glare. It has a "macro" function which means you can take extreme close-ups. It takes unlimited movies too - which are good quality (not as good as camcorder but one of the best in a camera I have seen). I have not even explored all the options yet, it has a lot of advanced features so I can grow with it.
Also it takes regular AA batteries - not a proprietary battery - so if you run out it's easy to get replacements at the store. I use rechargeable NiMH AA's. Some cameras use special batteries that are expensive to replace when they don't hold a charge (like cordless phone and laaptop batteries).
I am extremely happy with this camera!!

Summary: Pretty good camera, but...
Comment: I've owned Canon film cameras for a long, long time, and loved them. And the A95 is a good entry-level digital. But even though I read all the Amazon (and other) reviews before purchasing, including the many red-eye warnings, I must say that the problem is bad enough that in spite of only having used it for a few months, I'm already looking forward to my next camera.

Summary: Excellent Camera for a starter
Comment: If you are looking for a point and shoot, this is the one. I started photography with Sony but was not impressed with some of the features. So I bought this Canon A95 and am very happy with the quality of the pics. I have tried taking some macro shots also which has come out well, but the limit of 5cm focus for macros is kinda not good. Good battery life also.
