The "A" series of cameras by Canon is their biggest selling series of cameras.
The A95 is a seasoned camera, having come from the A80, which was an A70 with more features. The basic design has been around and tweeked for several years.
There should be no unpleasant surprises that a new design can produce.
But you should read what owners think of their A95 cameras:
