I have the g5 Canon Powershot 8 Mega pixels IT FREAKIN OWNS!!!!

PS: With...*Cough* 512 MB of ram *Cough* :laugh:

585181464[/snapback]

according to canon's site, the g5 only comes in 5 megapixels. but i could be mistaken. where did you get your g5 at?

A85 is a great camera. I bought the S400 when it was on it's last legs and being replaced by the S410 and S500...I have moments of thought that I should have waited for the A85 for the swivel LCD screen and a few extras more. Oh well.

Maybe it will be my next camera purchase :)

soloredd, are you saying the a85 has a swivel screen or that you would like to see that feature added to it? i know the g5 does and i love the feature to death, its very handy.

to the people who said they had a powershot a85, i was wondering if possible you could take pictures of all sides of the camera somehow...mabye with a webcam or another digital if you have one. i'm very curious to see what the rest of the camera looks like. every site i've checked has basically the same picture (the one i posted).

A85 is supposedly really great camera, however the A95 has the swivel screen and one more megapixel up, and a slightly larger screen as well I believe. I dont remember too well all the specifics, I was doing research on them because I thought I might ask for one for christmas.

I just got the A85 and it is probably the best camera for the best price out there... great manual controls and really good looking point and shoot - it practically does the work for you. Also a very good quality movie mode i'm very impressed by it...

This is how Canon did it though - The Powershot A80 is the model with the metal body and flip out LCD screen. This model costs more... so the A85 is like a cheaper version without the metal body and flip out screen but with practically all the same features other than that. The Powershot A95 has the metal body and flip out LCD screen... but costs a lot more for the extra megapixel than the A85 or A80 so that is why I went with the A85 over the A95 and A75. It was definately the best value and I'm sure it will last a long time ;)

Battery life is awful though... I went through 8 batteries already in two days :| I got some rechargable NiMH batteries now for a really good price 25 bucks CAD for 4 and a charger (Energizer...) so those are supposed to last 3 times as long as Alkaline.

Cheers!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
