Canon Intros Six New PowerShot A-Series Point-and-Shoot Cameras




Alongside the new high-end ELPS and the SX260 HS, Canon has also introduced today no less than six other PowerShot A-Series point-and-shoot cameras, which will be available starting this month in a variety of colors.

The most advanced of Canon’s new point-and-shoots are the A4000 IS and A3400 IS, both of them featuring image stabilization and a 3-inch rear display.

In the A3400 IS however, the rear screen is touch sensitive making it the first PowerShot A-series model to offer both Touch Focus and Touch Shutter shooting modes. 

To make up for this, the A4000 IS comes with an 8x zoom lens, while its smaller brother has to make do with a 5X lens.

A similar lens was also installed by Canon in the PowerShot A2400 IS and the PowerShot A2300, but in the former this also features optical image stabilization enabling users to capture sharper pictures more easily.

Finally, the last two point-and-shoots Canon has announced today are the A1300 and A810, both coming with a 5X optical zoom and a 2.7-inch LCD when they debut in April, for $120 and $110 (91.5 and 84 EUR), respectively.

All the A-Series cameras released by Canon in the PowerShot line are based on the same 16MP sensor, which is paired with a 28mm wide angle lens and allow for 720p HD video recording.

"The new additions to Canon's new PowerShot A-series lineup will provide entry-level users with many options to unlock their creativity and capture high-quality images at a budget-friendly price," said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A.

The first of the A-Series cameras to arrive will be the A4000 IS, which is expected to make its entrance later this month for $200 (about 152 EUR). Besides the two entry-level PowerShot A1300 and A810 models, the rest of the A-Series cameras will be launched in March.
