About the product.
Think of the Canon PowerShot A495 as the point-and-shoot that was built for family holidays rather than gallery walls. Canon launched it at CES in January 2010 as the replacement for the A480, aimed squarely at people who wanted pictures without fuss. It packs a 10MP CCD sensor, a 3.3x zoom and the Smart Auto mode that does most of the thinking for you. This is an easy, no-nonsense digicam for anyone curious about the pre-smartphone compact era.
