Canon PowerShot A495

Still getting to know camera – Found using Nimh rechargeable batteries 2050 a must. Important to fit wrist strap for stability camera. Rapid response when turning on camera, compared to other cameras. Good feature is 2 beeps to alert you in PowerShot focus stage half depressed Activate and fully down for shot. Found that using micro card good SD 8gb gave you 2942 shots. If using movie mode only picks up directional sound if using sound as feature of movie music to be direct front camera.

Quick access USBto camera then to computer to download images.

Good software for images. Inexpensive to buy ,rechargeable batteries nimh expensive, but couple sets batteries last ages. Paying $20 extended warranty probably not neccesary.
