Zoom Lens for the Canon Powershot A95

[danreeve]

My wife has always been saying she wants a zoom lens for our Canon Powershot A95, yes I know it has 4.1 x digital zoom but i find this is only good for short distances.We bought this camera a couple of summers ago when were going to Montreal and for the life of me can't seem to get a straight answer on a zoom lens for this camera. We went to Black's last Saturday and the person who we were talking to suggested we might be better off buying a new camera for the price we pay for a lens. I would appreciate any suggestions recommendations on zoom lens that would be compatilable with my powershot A95 or suggestions on a digital good camera under $400.00 that has good zoom from far away.

try the DSC-h50B
15x zoom 9.1 mpx and enough features to keep the adv. amateur satisfied as a secondary body

if you insist on a canon

the powershot S5 IS is 12 x zoom with 8 mpx and an lcd screen that tilts and comes out like on a video camera

i think you should get the sony, though, its 200 $ cheaper and its powerfuller than the canon.
