Canon SD200 And SD300 Cameras
Available for an estimated street price of $299.99, the new ultra sleek, 3.2 megapixel PowerShot SD200 Digital ELPH [review] features a 35-105mm (35mm equivalent) 3x optical/3.2x Digital/10x combined zoom lens and an elegant aluminum frame.
Canon's new ultra slim 4.0 megapixel PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH [review] camera features a 35 - 105mm 3x optical/3.6x digital/11x combined zoom lens and a striking high-gloss stainless steel frame that fits comfortably in the palm of the hand with simplified controls that make it easy to operate. The slim new camera will be available in November for an estimated street price of $399.99.
The PowerShot SD200 and SD300 Digital ELPHs are the industry's first digital cameras to feature the new Fast Frame Rate Movie Mode, which records movies at 60 frames-per-second (fps). At 320 x 240 pixels, users can record up to one minute of fast action or sports clips, allowing consumers to analyze their golf or tennis swing in slow motion. The cameras also feature additional movie modes, including 640 x 480 or 320 x 240 pixels at either 30 or 15 fps for the full capacity of the memory card and a compact movie setting of 160 x 120 pixels at 15 fps for a maximum of three minutes recording.
Both cameras include an optical viewfinder, enabling the photographer to get the shot even in sunny situations. The SD200 and SD300 Digital ELPH cameras also feature a through the lens (TTL) 9-point AiAF autofocus and an Intelligent Orientation Sensor that provides the user with a horizontal image during playback, even if the picture was taken vertically. The autofocus system utilizes an AF-assist beam, which can be turned on and off in the menu settings.
Both the PowerShot SD200 and SD300 Digital ELPH models are equipped with optical zoom lenses. These new lenses feature Canon's exclusive Ultra High Refractive Index Aspherical technology, called UA Lens technology for short, which produces outstanding sharpness and clarity. At the same time, it allows the camera body to be even thinner and more compact than previous models with smaller zoom ratios. The UA technology produces crystal clear image quality at all focal lengths.
The PowerShot SD200 and PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH camera kits include USB cable IFC-400PCU, AV Cable AV-DC300, Battery Charger CB-2LV, rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery Pack NB-4L, Wrist Strap WS-600 and a 16MB SD Memory Card together with the latest versions of Canon Digital Solutions Software and the ArcSoft Camera Suite.
