The Canon Powershot A95 is a fairly typical digital camera. It is the flagship model in a group of cameras that are highly acclaimed. At the time of writing (November 2004), if I was looking for a straightforward, versatile digital camera that would cover most situations then this is the model that I would buy.

The first digital camera that I owned was in this range and the cameras have continued to improve. The Powershot A95 will cope well with the full spectrum of social photography from holiday snaps, through general get togethers and parties to shots for the family album.
