    Good Points: Canon quality in every way. It is a delight to hold


    Bad Points: None

    If you want a camera that you can set to auto and point and shoot or use some of the extra settings it will not be beaten.

    Highly recommended

    I bought this camera to replace my Powershot A65 which had become faulty after 9 months, and the supplier refunded my money. After reviewing the current market I decided that Canon have still got the edge on ergonomic design on all the others (I used to love their SLRs when I used them), and the results from my A65 were brilliant for a 2M pixel camera. The A85 is very similar to the A65 except it is 4M pixel, having all the same excellent easy to use features and a few more. Most importantly, th ...
