Camera Overview — Canon PowerShot A95

The Canon PowerShot A95 is a 5-megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/1.8-inch sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2592x1944 pixels. One of its most distinctive physical features is the 1.8-inch Vari-Angle LCD monitor with 118,000 dots of resolution, which can be repositioned to suit a wide range of shooting angles — a genuinely useful feature for a camera in this class. The A95 runs on 4x AA batteries (alkaline, NiMH, or lithium), offering broad accessibility when it comes to power sources, with an approximate battery life of 300 shots on NiMH cells under CIPA standard conditions.

Autofocus is handled via a contrast detection system with 9 focus points. The ISO range runs from 50 to 400, and a built-in flash is included with Auto, On, Off, and Manual Red-Eye modes. Storage is handled via CompactFlash media.

For video, the camera records at up to 480p resolution at 15fps. The body is constructed from plastic with metal accents, weighing 235g and measuring 101 x 65 x 35mm. There is no image stabilization, no weather sealing, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth.

A burst mode is available at up to 2 frames per second. Color profile options include Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, Black & White, and Low Sharpening.
