While Canon's new professional-level
10.1 megapixel 1D Mark III D-SLR may be hogging much of the spotlight this
morning, the company also has five new consumer models on tap. First up are the
new
PowerShot A570 IS and the PowerShot A560. Both cameras feature 7.1MP image
sensors, DIGIC III image processor, 4x optical zoom, 2.5" 115k pixel LCD display
and Canon's new Face Detection AF/AE/FE technology. The A570 IS ups the ante by
including Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). The A570 IS and A560 will both be
available in March at a price of $279.99 and $229.99 respectively. Next up is
Canon's PowerShot SD1000 Digital Elph and PowerShot SD750 Digital Elph. The
cameras both include a 7.1MP image sensor, DIGIC III image processor and 3x
optical zoom. The SD750 offers up a 3" LCD display, weighs less than five ounces
and measures 3.5" x 2.25" x 0.75". The 4.5 ounce SD1000 includes a 2.5" screen
and is smaller than a deck of playing cards. The SD750 and SD1000 will both be
available in late March at a suggest retail price of $349.99 and $299.99
respectively.
Lastly, Canon showed off its new
PowerShot TX1 which doubles as a digital camera and an HD video recorder.
The 3.5" x 2.4" x 1.1" TX1 features a 7.1MP image sensor backed with Canon's
DIGIC III processor and 10x optical zoom with image stabilization. It also
incorporates a 1.8" Vari-Angle LCD display into its 7.8 ounce stainless steel
body. The added bonus is that the TX1 can capture 30 FPS high definition 720p
video. The PowerShot TX1 will be available in March for a suggested retail price
of $499.
