Description Canon, a leader in photographic and imaging technology, adds the 4.0 Canon PowerShot A85 Digital Camera (Canon A85) to its popular Power-Shot range. The Canon PowerShot A85 Digital Camera (Canon A85) replaces the Power-Shot A80, one of the most successful cameras in Canon's seventy year history. As well as improved ergonomics and refreshed styling, the Canon PowerShot A85 Digital Camera (Canon A85) includes a large 1.8' LCD, 13 shooting modes (including a special scene mode with 6 selectable pre-set scenes), VGA movie clips with sound, 9-point AiAF auto focus, and a Print/Share button plus extended print functionality. A wide selection of accessories includes wide and tele converters, close-up lens, and a waterproof case.  | | The PowerShot A85 has a 4.0 Megapixel resolution so you have the power to capture all of life's colors and textures handsomely. | | Advanced simplicity
The 13 shooting modes have been extended with 6 'special scene' presets, which help the user to get great looking results in sometimes tricky shooting conditions. They include presets for the beach, fireworks, underwater, foliage, snow, and indoor. The focus system has been upgraded to 9-point AiAF, for consistently sharp auto-focus even with non-centered subjects. The 3x optical zoom extends to 11x when combined with the digital zoom and has a respectable f/2.8-4.8 aperture. The purpose built DIGIC processor integrates all image processing algorithms onto a single chip to deliver fast processing and write times, minimal shutter lag, optimal image definition and consistently clean and natural color 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. Movies now in VGA
The 3 minute movie mode with sound, full playback and in-camera editing has been extended to include the option of shooting in VGA mode for up to 30 seconds. A generously proportioned 1.8' LCD makes for easier and more enjoyable playback and review.  | | Bright and sharp, the camera's power-saving LCD monitor measures a full 1.8' with a stunning 118,000 pixel resolution. | Personal online photo gallery
Free membership is included to Canon's online Canon iMAGE Gateway, with 100 Megabytes of free storage space for online album storing and sharing. Users can upload favorite images and now movies3 to the site, which can then be shared with friends and family as individually secure online 'albums'. Accessories
A wide range of optional accessories extends the camera's versatility, increasing both the range of circumstances in which it can be used and the type of photographs it is capable of taking. Wide and tele converter lenses vastly increase framing options and extend the camera's effective focal length range from approximately 25mm to 250mm , while an optional close-up lens is available for macro photography. The 40m depth waterproof case is great for diving, surfing, skiing, snorkeling and general beach fun. The Canon PowerShot A85 Digital Camera (Canon A85) comes supplied with a 32MB Compact Flash card.

Simplified Printing and Uploading
The Canon PowerShot A85 Digital Camera (Canon A85) features Canon's Print/Share button for single step printing and file sharing. When the Canon PowerShot A85 Digital Camera (Canon A85) is connected via USB cable to any PictBridge or Direct Print compatible photo printer or Windows PC, a blue light on the Print/Share button comes on to indicate successful connection.
