The PowerShot A75 improves on the A70 in subtle body design and
controls arrangement, as well as added functionality. Just like the A70
was before it, the PowerShot A75 is the perfect digital camera for someone
who is not sure which camera to buy. It is feature-packed, yet is easy to
use. Set it on Auto and let the Canon optics and electronics do the rest.
Want to make sure that the camera grows with you as you learn more about
photography? The A75 has Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority, 12 scene
modes, and full Manual mode for total creative control.
The Canon PowerShot A75 is our recommended entry level digital camera for
someone just starting out in photography. Not only can you immediately
start using it out of the box as an automatic point-and-shoot digital
camera, but it is feature-packed and will grow with you as you learn more
about photography.

The Lowest Price is not always best !
When you buy a digital camera, the basic package almost always includes
extras such as a battery charger, lens cap, batteries, flash memory card, and software.
One of the more disreputable practices a dealer can engage in is called unbundling. These
dealers remove items from the package that are normally included in the price and
price them separately.
When purchasing
a camera you have three components of the price to consider - the camera price, postage and
handling, and taxes. Many dealers lower the price to make the camera more attractive, then
increase the postage and handling to boost their profits.
Hesitate before
accepting extended warranties. Every knowledgeable consumer expert says it's better to
gamble. Most of a company's profit is in the sale of these warranties so they press, and
press hard. Your job is to resist, and resist hard. The only thing to keep in mind is that
digital cameras can be horribly expensive to repair. If you want peace of mind, you may
want the warranty, even though it's probably overpriced. The cost of a repair can
approach, or even exceed, the original purchase price.
When you buy a
camera from a reputable dealer, you expect to be able to return it if you aren't
satisfied. Some dealers try to discourage this by requiring a restocking fee for returned
merchandise. This is always explained as a way to recover their costs of checking the
merchandise and restoring the packaging you may have opened.
Many dealers is
truly a false, deceptive and a total crook. Bait and switch tactics used. Does not sell
new merchandise and will ship used or refurbished goods without notifying customer. They then
try to charge a restock fee on top of their exobitant shipping fees to make a profit where
they could not on their goods. A try case of buyer beware.
