Canon adds two models to the A-series
28 Aug 2008
Canon has announced the launch of a new range of digital cameras, including two that are aimed at entry-level users.
In addition to the high performance, nine-megapixel Canon PowerShot SX110IS and the style-conscious Canon PowerShot E1, the manufacturer is to add to its range of A-series compact models, Trusted Reviews reports.
The site states that the Canon A1000 IS and Canon A2000 IS will both boast a ten-megapixel sensor, as well as optical image stabilisation, DIGIC III processing, 30fps VGA video capabilities and a 3200 ISO maximum sensitivity.
However, the article notes that there are some differences between the two cameras that will separate the two on their release next month.
“The A2000 IS has a 6x optical zoom lens and a 3.0-inch LCD monitor and is available in gunmetal and silver, while the A1000 IS has a 4x zoom lens, a 2.5-inch monitor and comes in a range of colours, blue, brown or silver,” it adds.
In addition both models offer 17 shooting modes and face detection technology and are likely to be up against rival models from Panasonic and Samsung.
