The A495's features are average such as a 3.3X optical zoom lens and 10.0 megapixels of resolution but that's what's expected in a low-priced camera. In my full review, which you can read by clicking this link, I was pleased with the A495's image quality in outdoor photos. Its macro mode is very good for a camera in its price range, too.
The primary downside for the A495 is its LCD, which can be tough to see in bright sunlight and which is not as sharp as it should be.
The PowerShot A495 isn't available for sale quite yet, but it should be on store shelves some time in March. If you're looking for a starter-level digital camera, the A495 delivers some nice features at a good price, but the LCD problems are a drawback.
