Among ten new PowerShots are four WiFi enabled cameras with which “photographers no longer have to sacrifice image quality for the ability to instantly share images and videos,” claims Canon. “People can quickly upload and share images on social networks.”
The WiFi functionality built into the two ELPH models allow for a variety of connection options to help photographers share, upload, or back-up images. Users can connect directly to a wireless network from their camera to upload photos and videos to Canon’s iMage Gateway online service that lets registered users store images to an online album, and then post their content to social networks such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Canon will offer iOS and Android apps to transfer and save images and videos from the camera to compatible devices.
The new flagship of the Elph line is the 530 HS camera. It is .78 inches thick while packing a 12x optical zoom lens. It has a 10-megapixel CMOS sensor, captures 1080p HD video, and has a 3.2-inch touchscreen for $350.
The 320 also has WiFi, and a 16-megapixel CMOS sensor, 1080p HD video, 5x optical zoom, and a 3.2-inch touchscreen for $280.
The SX260 HS has a 20x zoom with optical image stabilization while measuring 1.29 inches thick. It has a 12-megapixel sensor and 1080p video capture for $350.
Also, “the rugged PowerShot D20 camera is ideally suited for the backpacker, snowboarder or tropical-traveler,” Canon says. It is resistant to water, shock, and temperature. An easy-to-access button enables users to switch from normal photo mode to snow or underwater mode, even with gloves on. The 12-megapixel camera has 1080p video capture, a 5x lens, a 3-inch LCD, and GPS for $350.
Canon also debuted six PowerShot A-series cameras, featuring 16-megapixel sensors and 720p video capture.
The $200 A4000 also has the longest zoom to date for a PowerShot A-series model, Canon says, at 8x with optical image stabilization. The $180 A3400 has a 5x zoom and 3-inch touchscreen.
Two other models both have 5x lenses and 2.7-inch LCDs. The A2400 IS has optical image stabilization for $160; the A2300 is $150.
The similar A1300 and A810 cameras use AA batteries, and are $120 and $110, respectively.
