Canon rolls out new digital cameras, camcorders
February 17, 2005 - 13:01 PST
At the Photo Marketing Association (PMA) trade show today in Orlando, Canon introduced a number of new digital imagaing products, including the EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR camera, new PowerShot compact cameras, and a trio of camcorders. The 8.1-megapixel EOS Digital Rebel XT (pictured at right) features an APS-C Canon CMOS sensor, DIGIC II image processing technology, and wide range of custom and manual controls in a smaller, more compact body than its predecessor. The EOS Digital Rebel XT model is offered in two kit configurations: with and without Canon's EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 II zoom lens. The estimated street price for the zoom lens kit will be US$999, while the body only kit will be $899.
Canon's two new PowerShot digital ELPH cameras--the 5-megapixel SD400 ($399.99) and the 7.1-megapixel SD500 ($499.99)--offer consumers "sleek, stylish compact digital cameras at an affordable price," according to the company.
Smaller and lighter than their predecessors, Canon's 3.2-megapixel PowerShot A510 ($199.99) and 4-megapixel PowerShot A520 ($299.99) digital cameras feature a 4x optical zoom and offer "high image quality and comfortably placed controls for consumers to capture, save and share images of meaningful memories, personal milestones and family functions."
Canon's newest megapixel camcorders--the 2.2-megapixel Optura 50 ($799) and Optura 60 ($899) Mini-DV camcorders and the 1.33-megapixel ZR400 ($549) camcorder "make it easy for users of any level to capture high quality video and photos."
