Canon PowerShot A495 10.0 MP Digital Camera with 3.3x Optical Zoom and 2.5-Inch LCD (Blue)

It takes a little effort to find and setup the features as they are not always intuitive, but this little camera does a great job around my Engineering lab!

I am thrilled with this camera. I bought it for a person who just needs a point and shoot, and this camera provided it. It's easy, and takes great pictures. The order and delivery times were great as well.

The viewer on the back of the camera seems to distort the picture so it's hard to tell when you are getting a good, clear, focused picture or when it is blurry. Several pictures I took over Christmas looked good on the camera but when I pulled them up on my computer they were slightly out of focus. I had an older model of this same camera and it died after just over a year -- got this one as a stop gap until I had time to research a better option. The older model was better, in my opinion.

We bought this camera as a gift for my in-laws. They are technologically challenged and we wanted to get something simple to use but would still give good photos. We also wanted something inexpensive since this is their introduction to digital photography. I've tried some of the "lesser" brands in digital cameras and have always been disappointed. Canon always seems to deliver. This one is no exception. I tried it out and gave the initial lesson on how to use it. It only took about 15 minutes to explain. The camera is low-end, so don't expect it to feel like a "quality" camera. Other than that, the photos are sharp with good color. As long as it isn't dropped, I have no doubt that the camera will serve them well until they are ready to move up to a more expensive model.

Doesn't take the best photos without flash but with flash the quality is great. Plugging into the tv is a nice feature. My 13 yr old daughter found it much easier to use than did I!

I received this camera for Christmas after my dear pocket sized Fuji fell down the concrete bleachers at a football game. It is not a very good camera, you'd be better off with a wind up disposable. The pics I take are more blurry than not, and it has to "CHARGE THE FLASH" after every picture taken with a flash. This makes taking pictures a huge nuisance! I would 100% not recommend this camera! I am currently looking for a new one, probably a Fuji!

Every other picture was blurry whether I was taking it or my husband or kids. It is slow. You take a picture then wait forever to take another picture. Returned it for the cannon a3100 almost the same price and it is fabulous.

Definitely worth the price (I got it for $97). Being plastic doesn't make it cheap. This camera takes great pictures, it is also pretty easy to use. I can't expect more from a camera under $100.

I love this camera and will not be devastated if I lose it because of the Great Price - Great Pictures

I bought this for my 9 year old grandson who didn't want a "baby" camera anymore. It's the most inexpensive one that Canon has, but it really does take good pictures.

The technically challenged should be aware. This camera came with no memory card. It took me a week of reading instructions to realize I had to buy the memory card separately. The terrific price I got became not so terrific. Then I was offered an online warranty protection to buy. Why was there no warranty as part of it. The pictures are wonderful.

I am very happy with my little camera, I wanted a bottom of the line and this is much more than I expected. It takes very clear pictures and they are really good pictures. The proceedure of down loading the pictures to my laptop is super easy.

this camera is very easy to use and the pictures come out great! it isn't heavy which makes it less fragile and easy to carry and although it doesn't have the look of an extremely high tech camera, the functions and resolution are greatly satisfying. of course, it isn't the best digital camera in the world and the battery life is not the most economic but, overall i am really content with this product and i would definitely recommend it.

I've had a couple of Canon A-series cameras in the past and picked up this one after I dropped my last camera in some water. This camera takes bad pictures too often, it wants to focus on the wrong item. My old Canon A-series cameras never had this issue.

I think this is a nice camera for the price. I wish it was a little better for taking pictures with movement but for other pictures it does a nice job. I do believe the next camera I purchase will have better zoom for sports but this one does an ok job with that as well. I was wanting a camera I could carry in my purse and this one is good for that although it is a little thicker than some. I would recommend this camera for general picture taking as those pics turn out great. All in all a good purchase.
