Press Release
Canon’s new 5.0-megapixel PowerShot A95 digital camera replaces
the popular A80 unit and merges the capabilities of Canon’s
prosumer-level ‘G’ series line with the form factor of an A-series
model.
The highly advanced 5 Megapixel digital camera features a new
larger 1.8” vari-angled LCD monitor for easier image preview and
review as well as FlexiZone AF/AE for off-center subjects. The
PowerShot A95 digital camera offers users 14 easy-to-use Shooting
Modes, including Special Scene Modes that will help create
exceptional images.
Appealing to a wide range of consumers the PowerShot A85 and A95
models cross over into specialized applications as well. For
teachers and students that make classroom presentations and real
estate professionals who often need to capture interior and
exterior images of a house, the A85 and A95 cameras provide
exceptional performance at affordable prices.
Advanced Features
All three of the new A-series PowerShot digital cameras are
equipped with 9-point AiAF, a feature normally found in Canon’s
high-end models, that allows users to get crisp, clear images
quickly, even with off-center subjects. The PowerShot A85 and A95
models are compatible with a wide range of optional accessories,
including supplementary wide-angle, telephoto and close-up lenses
as well as dedicated waterproof housings with a depth rating of
130 feet (WP-DC50 for A95 model and WP-DC30 for A85 model). Both
cameras come equipped with Type I CompactFlash card media (32MB
included), a USB cable and four AA Alkaline batteries. Consumers
may purchase rechargeable Canon Alkaline NiMh (Nickel Metal
Hydride NB4-200 AA-size batteries) separately.
Print/Share…At the Touch of a Button
The new A-Series digital cameras offer Direct Printing
functionality, making it easy, quick and convenient for anyone to
produce high- quality photos without the need for a computer. The
Print/Share button, found on most of Canon’s new PowerShot models,
also speeds and simplifies printing to compatible Canon and
PictBridge-enabled printers. The Print/Share feature also enables
one-touch Direct Transfer to Windows XP, Me, 2000 and 98
computers, for use with image processing programs, uploading to
the Internet or emailing. Once connected, the Print/Share button
will light up blue, indicating that it is ready to print.
For quick and easy printing of high-quality images, Canon’s CP
printers offer the perfect option. In just 85 seconds***,
consumers have printed photos right in their hands for sharing
with friends and family. New to the line of Compact Photo Printers
is the ability to print on 4” x 8” paper—ideal for family holiday
photos or to announce the arrival of a new baby.
Other printing enhancements found in each new model include:
An ID Photo Print feature that allows the user to make ID photo
size prints by cropping the image to the required ID size (up to
28 sizes),
Movie Print mode enables the consumer to print a series of still
images from a recorded movie; and
Postcard Date Imprint mode lets users select a date stamp that can
be imprinted in the corner of a picture.
