Canon has just announced 6 brand new PowerShot A-series digital cameras today. The six models are spread out between the price range of $110 to $200, so there’s not a lot of room for differentiation and all the cameras are very similar. Let’s take a look at them now.
First off, we’ll sort through the common features of these 6 cameras; all the A-series have these features in common:
16 megapixel traditional CCD image sensors
(English: No fancy high-speed shooting or photo modes […]
Canon PowerShot SX260 HS (and SX240 HS)
Canon has just announced a new compact super-zoom digital camera model, the PowerShot SX260 HS, which sports a huge 20X optical zoom lens, full manual controls, GPS, face recognition, Full HD movie mode and plenty more features. Canon has also announced a plain variant of the camera, the PowerShot SX240 HS, which looks identical to the SX260 but comes without the GPS feature. The non-GPS SX240 HS will be available in most parts of […]
Canon PowerShot ELPH 530 HS (AKA IXUS 510 HS)
Just like its sibling announced today, the newly unveiled Canon ELPH 530 HS (Also known as the IXUS 510 HS) is the WiFi and touchscreen equipped variant to the ELPH 520 HS that Canon announced at CES in January. The camera is nearly identical to that model save for the two mentioned headline features (and slightly higher price tag of course)
10 megapixel CMOS sensor
28 – 336 mm (f3.0 – f5.8) […]
Canon PowerShot ELPH 320 HS (AKA IXUS 240 HS)
Canon has just announced a WiFi enabled, touchscreen equipped variant of the ELPH 110 that they announced last month. The new Canon PowerShot ELPH 320 HS (Also known as the Canon IXUS 240 HS) sports a nearly identical feature set to the ELPH 110 but swaps out the 3 inch non-touch screen for a 3.2 inch touchscreen and adds the ability to upload photos/videos to your favorite social networking websites, […]
Canon PowerShot D20
Canon hasn’t been too active in releasing rugged cameras, with their first ever (and only) rugged digital camera being the PowerShot D10 released 3 years ago. But after being missing all these years, Canon is back in the market today with the arrival of their new PowerShot D20 rugged camera. If you read our review in the link above, you’ll see that the new 2012 PowerShot D20 has a completely reworked design: It looks more ‘conventional’ looking […]

Nikon Coolpix P510
So much for Olympus holding the ‘biggest zoom’ record for the last couple of years. Nikon just set a new record today with an earth-shattering 42X optical zoom lens (no, the camera does NOT come bundled with a tripod, Gitzo or any brand) on their flagship Coolpix camera; that’s equivalent to a whopping 1000 mm at maximum zoom.
For the record, the nearest SLR lens that does that, the Canon EF 1200 mm costs the price of a small […]
Nikon Coolpix P310
Nikon just rolled out a new compact prosumer digital camera to compete with the likes of the Canon PowerShot S100. The tiny Coolpix P310 packs quite a punch with a backlit 16 megapixel image sensor, Nikon Expeed C2 image processor, an ultra-wide angle lens that starts at a super bright f1.8 and full manual controls. We can’t wait to get our hands on this camera for review!
