Canon today introduced a brand new PowerShot line - the SX series - and the first camera in that line-up, the PowerShot SX100 IS superzoom camera. Featuring a 10x optical zoom lens, Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) and an extended grip, the light and small shooter is claimed to be capable of capturing magnificent images even at long range.
In addition to its superzoom lens, the SX100 IS is loaded with a full complement of performance and convenient features, including 8 Megapixel resolution, a DIGIC III image processor, face detection and a 2.5-inch LCD screen.
Powered by AA batteries, the PowerShot SX100 IS offers photo enthusiasts many creative possibilities, including the ability to shoot VGA movies in two 30fps recording modes (high-quality and lower quality to reduce file sizes). In either mode, the SX100 IS can capture individual movies up to one hour or 4GB per clip.
Additionally, the PowerShot SX100 IS comes equipped with 19 shooting modes, ranging from fully automatic to fully manual, and accessible through a mode dial on top of the camera. Shooting modes include Full Auto, Program, Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority and Manual, as well as special scene modes such as Portrait, Landscape, Night scene, Sports and Kids & Pets.
The PowerShot SX100 IS superzoom camera will be available in black or silver colors. In stores beginning in October 2007, the PowerShot SX100 IS camera kit includes two AA batteries, a 16MB MMC plus memory card, a USB cable, an AV cable, a neck strap and Canon's software suite at an estimated selling price of $300.
