Canon PowerShot A5 Zoom, making it one of the best finished, compact digital cameras on the market.

The PowerShot A5 Zoom is replacing the earlier A5, now discontinued, and the standard of quality established with it are maintained. Now equipped with a 28 to 70mm zoom lens, this lastest in Canon's growing line-up, is bound to attract some attention.

The basic design of the PowerShot A5 is maintained, along with its well-designed control dial. The dial, wrapped with rubber, allows access to the basic modes of the A5 Zoom:

  • Full Auto (green mode)
  • Program (P)
  • Panoramic (permits stitching images)
  • PC connect
  • Play
  • Multi (thumbnails)
On top of the camera and immediately next to the dial, Canon has placed two multifunction buttons which not only allow navigation in the camera's menus, but also for other functions such as the flash, burst mode, self-timer, and exposure compensation.
An LCD display panel, on the top left, is used to provide information on all basic photographic settings without having to rely on the LCD screen.

In our March issue, in which reviewed the PowerShot A5, we had remarked on how well-designed the entire camera was, and how Canon had gone to great lengths to make it rugged, yet elegant. We can only repeat ourselves: the A5 Zoom is designed with the same philosophy, and, when it is in one's hand, this comes through clearly.
