From the A540 we are used to a much faster response. Beautiful, clear images can be found at the PowerShot A495 only when the subject so that it holds a relatively long time the technology / Sharpness adjusts itself on it. Snapshots are abundantly blurred.
I can also confirm that most of the pictures at dusk, candlelight but otherwise images in buildings noise to greater or lesser extent.
So this camera does not fulfill our request, an easy, fast snapshot camera for everyday life
to be.
The 3 star there just for the price-performance ratio, ease of use, its beautiful appearance and the
now and then quite successful Photos
