Canon A85 / Canon A520

#1 February 3rd 05, 09:03 PM

I was literally going to by a Canon A85 yesterday when I saw that the
A85's replacement the A520 is coming out next month. The new camera is
smaller, lighter and more importantly has a better lens. The telephoto
extends 35-140mm in 35mm equivalent. Is the A85 going to be
discounted to current prices? If the price of the A85 is discounted
this camera will be a great deal. Will the A520 cost stigmatically
more then the A85 and if so will it more worth the added cost.

Canon should be totally ashamed of this (and some others too) HP got this basic and absolutely essential thing right in their little digicam that's cheap even for a P&S, so why can't Canon?!!
