Canon's 2004 mid-range compact — 4MP CCD, 3x zoom, manual modes, CompactFlash and AA batteries

The PowerShot A85, launched in September 2004, was the 4-megapixel sibling of the A75 in Canon's mid-range Axx compact line, sitting below the larger-sensor A80 and A95. It shared the A75's redesigned grip and Print/Share button.

It uses a 4.0-megapixel 1/2.7-inch CCD with a 35-105mm-equivalent f/2.8-4.8 3x optical zoom, framed on a 1.8-inch fixed LCD or the optical viewfinder. Movies record at 640x480 at 10fps, images save to CompactFlash, and the camera runs on AA batteries.

Like most Axx models it includes manual and priority exposure modes alongside full auto, so it works both as a simple snapshot camera and as a cheap way to practise exposure control. Its sensible ergonomics and AA power make it an easy, low-risk introduction to CCD-era digital photography.

Check for alkaline leakage around the battery contacts, straight CompactFlash pins and a clean LCD. The optical viewfinder is a bonus if the screen has dimmed with age. CF cards are the main running cost; small-capacity cards suit this pre-SDHC generation.
