I bought a new camera today :D
A Canon Powershot A95. Obviously I have tons to learn about it yet, but was wondering if anyone owns one/has had experience with one? I would love to have someone to ask a few questions to.
Thanks :)

I think Kfamr does? Congrats on your new camera! :) I look forward to seeing LOTS of pics of your crew :)
I think Kay has the A80.. but the A series are all very similar.Quote:

Jordan (wolfsoul) has the A95. Congrats on the new cam!
That's the one I bought last month and LOVE it to pieces!! Its so great and you'll learn all the fun stuff in no time!
Enjoy!! :)
Thanks all!
I guess it's difficult because there are so many things on it!
The only two things I don't like so far is how bright all the pictures are, I've been putting it at -2? Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Also how long it takes to take a picture after you press the button, which is what I hate about my old one and wanted something different. ;)
Congrats! That's the one I want soon. Just don't know when I can get it. My birthday is in July so maybe I'll just make an excuse and get it then.
I have one!
If you press the button down half-way, the camera will focus. Then press it down all the way and it will take the picture right away for you. That's the best way to do it when taking an action shot! The only thing I really hate about the camera is that the flash is really bright.Quote:

I have the same camera. Its shutter speed is really fast like wolfsoul said half way down is the focus. Theres so many things on this camera I still haven't figured it all out.
Question to all who has it whats your fav feature? Maybe this way I can learn some cool things about it LOL.
Thanks!
Jordan-Is the bright flash the reason pictures come out really bright? Most of the ones I've taken are way too bright to even see, I may be using a wrong mode or something :o
I'd like to know too!Quote:

Yeah, but I can't figure out how to tone down the brightness. That's why I find that camera is best used in bright light or outdoors.Quote:

Yeah, pretty sure Kay has an A80. I want either that cam or the A95 which I will be buying when the price is down some :D:D

Have you tried just letting The CAMERA set the exposure??
Try Full AUTO mode, and leave the Exposure at "0" ...
I've had an A70 model for quite a while - and have never
manually adjusted the Exposure!

I am constantly shopping around for a new camera and this one is one of my first choices. Of course by the time I actually buy a camera I'm sure it will be outdated...lol.
I wish you lots of luck with it and can't wait to see how your pics come out.
My coworker just got the A95 and she loves it!! It's great because she's been taking pictures of her cats and dog, and I get to see new pictures almost everyday! ;)
Thanks all :)
Thanks Phred! Yes on Auto Mode the exposure stays on 0, but it's still very bright, Tigger looked yellow! So I keep moving it down to -2, which is less bright.Quote:
