I am about to buy a Canon A95
I am upgrading from an older Finepix. I have read the reviews at PR's
and Steves who seem to rate it higly and am now looking for some real world experiences with this camera. One concern is the purple fringing around tree branches on bright day outdoor shots. Unavoidable for this price range? Any thoughts overall? Ron

Ron My experience is that Canon compact digicams have this problem the least. It's a great camera and will serve you well

Ron My sister recently inherited an orphaned A95 and I'm having waaay too much fun with it. She, OTOH, is still learning about shutter lag, and how half-shutter press avoids it. -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten'

Er, make that "reduces it significantly" and I'll buy it. -- John McWilliams

I read that the G5 had purple fringing problems - but still bought one. You have to take pictures of buildings or trees against a very bright background and print big enlargments before it becomes a problem. The pluses of the Canon compacts are enought to swamp that particular minus. John
