Canon PowerShot A


The Canon PowerShot A is a discontinued series of digital cameras released by Canon. The A-series started as a budget line of cameras, although over time its feature set varied from low-end point-and-shoot cameras to high-end prosumer cameras capable of rivalling Canon's PowerShot G-series.

Models

The series began with the A5, which was a very basic point-and-shoot camera line. The Axx series that followed offered full manual control in a fairly bulky body. The A100/200/3xx/4xx series cameras are stripped-down with very little manual controls. The Axx series later branched off into the A5xx, A6xx, and A7xx series. A-series cameras are generally powered by 2 AA batteries.
