Canon PowerShot A75
An enhanced version of A70, Canon PowerShot A75 incorporates a bigger 1.8 inch LCD, some better modes and a competent DIGIC processor.
Styling of A75 is identical to the earlier "A" series models. The attractive silver-plastic design makes it extremely light but the dimensions are aren’t not small enough for it to fit into a normal size pocket. A lens covering shields the camera lens when not in use.
Among the available setting options there are 13 full shooting modes. You will come across manual and full-auto exposure control, five preset capture modes, and six Scene modes, not to forget the white balance setting. A burst mode facilitates taking 11 continuous full-resolution shots at approximately 2 fps.
Usual colour effects comprise of Sepia and Black and White. A special option like Low Sharpening allows you to fiddle around with an image; sharpening or softening it. The ISO setting begins from 50 and can go up to 400.
Video clips can be shot at a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 for a duration of three minutes at the rate of 15 frames per second.
A75 comes equipped with an optical viewfinder and a 1.8-inch LCD monitor for picture composing but it cannot be viewed suitably in bright sunlight.
The camera is intended to be compliant with both qualified photographers and greenhorns. The former type with find the Manual, Aperture Priority, and Shutter Priority modes very useful while if you are among the latter species, Auto, Program AE, and Scene modes can be extremely beneficial.
A75 is capable of a peak shutter speed of 1/2,000 second.
In addition, the camera includes a 9-point AF system and a 3x zoom lens with a 5.4-16.2mm range (35-105mm- 35mm equivalent).
The aperture range of A75 is between f/2.8 to f/4.8, while it can be taken up to f/8.0 using manual or automatic adjustment.
With a striking 3.2-megapixel sensor, you get pictures of great resolution with the maximum printing size of 8x10 inches.
Images shot in bright conditions are sharp and accurate but the flash requires some polishing, though an AF Assist light can be located on the front panel for taking pictures in dark surroundings.
With a start up time of 4 seconds and recycling of 2 seconds, its performance is on the negative side. Shutter lag of 0.9 seconds doesn’t help matters either.
At the end of the day, however, the various exposure controls and salient features of A75 do stand out.

Nothing to cheer about
What's so special abt this camera. I have read many good reviews abt it but did not particularly find it appealing. There are just the same repetitive features found in any other camera. And when I saw the picture quality, I felt it was any better than some of my previous cameras that I have owned. The 3.2 megapixel is nothing special and neither is the movie mode. It is true that I was able to take pictures rapidly because the camera starts very quickly and performs speedily as well. But the bottom line is it offers nothing new that I have not seeen before and even the features present do not produce out of the world results.
