[markyap]

which one of the 3 u mean hehe

s5i if ur looking for a small cam with great feature set and above average photoquality. unlimited video. perfect everyday cam to bring around. only 4ounces i love this cam.

a95 is much more expensive but has slightly better photoquality. but its also the largest and heaviest (double that of the s5i) among the 3. and it uses AA so less number of shoots per charge and maintenace is more hassel. also slower recycle time. you have to charge before using. sa liion like with s5i pwedi ka charge several days even a week before using. also its the ugliest among the 3. 3min max rec time for video. if ur more serious bout photography this could be better for you with its full manual mode and better photoquality. and weight soundt matter

z50 is more on looks lang if u ask me. average to below average photoquality. it can satisfy most people iun quality but not good enough for many photobuffs.

PowerShot A95 – the new A-series flagship. Replacing the highly regarded PowerShot A80, the A95 builds on the success of its predecessor and features an increased sensor size of 5.0 Megapixels, and the addition of FlexiZone AF/AE, a larger 1.8” vari-angle LCD and VGA movie mode. Now including 8 special scene presets, the A95 has a total of 21 shooting modes – more than any other Canon digital camera.

The A95 includes many features found in Canon’s higher end S and G series cameras, offering users flexibility and creative control. It incorporates Canon’s advanced DIGIC and iSAPS technologies and 9-point AiAF for outstanding image quality and ease of use, as well as a 3x optical zoom with f/2.8 aperture. A complete range of accessories, including wide and tele-converters and waterproof case, enables photographic exploration. The camera also features a Print/Share button, PictBridge printing as well as ID photo and movie print.

"Canon’s new flagship A-series PowerShot offers outstanding value for money," said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. "It combines simple operation and affordable pricing with high level performance and image quality – even sharing some of the same features as the PowerShot Pro1, making it a remarkable camera."

More pixels, more options

The 5.0 Megapixel CCD sensor enables the A95 to provide superb image quality, suitable for high quality photo prints up to A3 size. The 21 shooting modes, ranging from fully Auto to Manual, offer users total control for complete creativity, or can simplify things to ensure great looking photos in tricky situations. Along with all the fully manual, Program and Aperture/Shutter speed priority modes expected in an advanced digital camera, the A95 includes a custom mode for storing preferred camera settings. A special scene mode includes 8 settings for Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Underwater, Kids & Pets and Night Snapshot. Movie clips up to 3 minutes are also possible with sound recording, playback and even editing all in the camera. VGA quality movies can now be recorded.

The new larger 1.8” vari-angle LCD covers 360 degrees of rotation, giving users the option to shoot from most positions.

High-level optics and performance

The high quality, f/2.8 Canon lens has a precision 3x optical zoom 38mm-114mm (35mm equivalent) to give users the flexibility to compose the shot they want. The purpose built DIGIC processor integrates all image processing algorithms onto a single chip to deliver fast write times, minimal shutter lag, optimal image definition and consistently precise and natural colour reproduction. iSAPS, an in-built photographer's assistant, analyses composition factors such as zoom position and luminosity in order to predict the type of photo being taken. This results in faster auto-focusing, more accurate auto-exposure and precise auto white balance.

9-point AiAF provides fast, accurate focusing even when subjects are not centred. An Intelligent Orientation Sensor allows the AF frame to be weighted differently for horizontal and vertical shooting, further increasing the accuracy of exposure and auto white balance, and saving time when reviewing photos. For the first time in an A-series camera, FlexiZone AF/AE has been introduced. This feature, which can be found in the PowerShot Pro series, allows scrolling aroundthe frame's Auto Focus areas to select the desired subject, for which exposure is weighted accordingly.

A series ng canon is the lowest or cheapest series they have

S series ng pentax is higher end.

btw, watch out for the redeye problem sa a95.

[darkwing]

I'd go for the A95 or A520

[tommy]

I'd would also go with the A95. Image quality wise, Canon blows away the other 2.

[jhnpl]

consider also canon powershot sd400.....
