Page 1 of Canon Powershot A95 5mp £199.99 inc VAT ex delivery

To think I paid more than this a couple of years ago for a 2MP Canon A40. There maybe cheaper 5MP 3X Opt zoom cameras but I doubt you find better without spending a lot more.

"Canon has taken a popular camera and added just enough to make it even better. It`s questionable whether you really need the extra million pixels for `snapshots`, but the results in this test show that the A95 has the optics and processor needed to squeeze the maximum possible information out of a scene. I was impressed by the build quality, and pleasantly surprised at just how good the results the A95 produces are. It`s a lot smaller than the G5, but a lot easier to handle and a lot more stable in your hands than many of the `sexier` ultra compact 5MP models on the market. It also has a feature set that rivals many cameras considerable more expensive."

Where is it on at that price? I`ve got an A80 which I`m happy with but the spec on this looks even better...

Guess the seller would help: ebuyer - sorry.

I`ve updated my post

This range of cameras (A75, A85, A95) are in the process of being discontinued....which means there are some bloody brilliant deals for them at the moment.

The A75 was on ebuyer last week for about £120, whilst Argos were selling it for twice that.

If you`re in the market for that type of camera, you`d be silly not to snap it up at that price.
