-5 megapixel CCD
-Fold-out rotating 1.8” LCD
-Manual control offered
Dislikes

-Shoots only in JPEG format; there is no option for TIFF or RAW files
-The image quality isn’t great; it has a substantial amount of noise
-Too large to fit in a pocket
-Laughable 10-15 frames per second movie mode

Conclusion
Overall, the Canon PowerShot A95 is a worthy successor of the A80 and worth the $400 price with its 5 megapixels and versatility. It has a fully automatic mode, several creative manual modes and 13 preset scene modes, making this a decent camera for a variety of users. Its slow movie mode is an utter disappointment, as well as the amount of noise evident in most images, particularly in low light scenes. But if you’re not into movies and take the majority of your pictures in daylight, the Canon PowerShot A95 could suffice, recording decent imagery for a beginner or intermediate user looking for some basic room to grow and evolve photographically.
