Default Sell A80 for A95?

just getting an idea...

i own 1 A80... mostly let my mom use it... anyway... is it worth the dough to sell off a A80 to get a A95? i think this LCD is slightly larger, with a better 5mp, den better AF & continuous capture rate...

so will u guys sell your A80 & get A95?

5MP and 4MP not a big different ....
2592 x 1944 vs 2274 x 1704
and with the same CCD size 1/1.8" as A80, A95 will probably has more noise than A80
not much selling point to upgrade even for A70 owner i feel

if you keep selling your current cams for new models instead of using them to shoot, you are a collector..not even a photography hobbist..

Default Trusty A80

HIee....

I personally use an A80.....i think thsts more than enough to get you into learning and get serious in photography. I think an upgrade to get 1Mpix upgrade is just no sense.

Well...too bad i think you are going into the final phase of owning a digital camera......

The final phase I'm referring to is :
THe phase where you will find all sorts of reasons just to upgrade without any significant prove from the present camera you are using to justify the change......

Well......just enjoy your A80......its great cam....

rgds,
Sulhan

Prices vary online, but it seems they're not too far from these prices...

A80: USD$265
A85: USD$295
A95: USD$399

Also noticed on Steves Digicams that the A95 is Made in China. Hmmz...

BUY only if you don't have one. A80 is good enough if you already have it. I use Dslr but when I just need a simple pns camera for location recce, I use A80.

A95 good improvement but can live without it.
