Canon achieved great success with the Ixus series, where one might think that the style of the camera contributed more than the APS film. Furthermore, Canon incorporated much of the Ixus style into this Powershot A5.
This small camera features a fixed focal length lens, with a macro position allowing focus between 9 and 50 cm.
It can save files in JPEG or RAW format. There is no USB port. The interface is of the RS-232 type, which is unfortunate for a camera of this size.
The Ni-MH battery can be replaced by a 2CR5 battery if recharging is forgotten.
It was sold for 4990 francs in 1998.
