My first A series was the A80 in 2005. Best IQ camera with swivel.

In 12/2008, My A80 sensor was repaired but corner sharpness went bad.

Canon replaced the A80 in 1/2009 with a A530 then again replaced with a A590IS (The last 'manual' controls Canon but no swivel.)

The A650IS is the last of the A series with swivel, manual controls and zoom up to 210mm.
This will be the classic of the dying A series. (The A620/610 another classic)
