Canon has released three new additions to its Digital Elph line of point-and-shoot cameras: the PowerShot SD890 IS, SD790 IS and SD770 IS. All three additions feature 10-megapixel resolution imaging on the Digic III imaging processor, as well as Motion Detection, Optical Image Stabilization and Genuine Canon Face Detection technologies.
The PowerShot SD890 IS features an image-stabilized, 5x optical zoom lens with a maximum wide-angle equivalent of a 37mm lens and a 2.5-inch PureColor II LCD display. The SD890 IS is also capable of taking macro images from less than an inch away.
The PowerShot SD790 IS sports an image-stabilized, 3x optical zoom with a focusing range from a wide-angle equivalent of 35mm to a maximum telephoto equivalent of 105mm. Like the SD890 IS, it offers the user an easy-to-use, multi-control dial, but also allows viewing of images on a 3-inch PureColor LCD II display.
The PowerShot SD770 IS boasts the thinnest body of any optically image-stabilized Elph model ever produced and can take almost 300 images on a single charge. The SD770 IS displays images on a 2.5-inch PureColor LCD II screen and captures images on an image-stabilized, 3x optical zoom lens.
The SD890 IS has an estimated retail price of $399, the SD790 IS, $349, and the SD770 IS, $299.
