Canon PowerShot A85 prices and specs
The Canon PowerShot A85 was released on Jul 20, 2004. For now the cheapest price for the camera is 209.99.
The Canon PowerShot A85 is a compact camera. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Canon PowerShot A85 is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't capture photos of the same perfect quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The PowerShot A85 can shoot photos at 4 megapixels max resolution. But for better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.7' (5.312 x 3.984 mm) sensor which means that the model will make photos with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. And if you want to capture photos of the best quality check Leica M Edition 60.
The Canon PowerShot A85 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for taking action photos of a very good quality. The PowerShot A85 can even shoot videos but the max resolution is not very good - 640 x 480.
The lens is fixed and the photographer won't be able to switch it. The lens provides weak 3x optical zoom.
