Also known as the Power Shot S-100, the digital Elph is perhaps the world's smallest and lightest 2 megapixel digital camera. This pixel count provides enough quality to print standard 4 x 6 photos that look as good as film, and the Elph's tiny size enables you to slip it in your shirt pocket and take it virtually anywhere. Canon has combined a high resolution chip with a lot of features. Make no mistake, the number one, two and three reasons to buy the Elph lie in its tiny size. It is fun and convenient to carry along. For extras you get a budget price (around $500), many user options, a zoom lens and simplicity of use. You won't be disappointed. www.powershot.com

The much-anticipated Canon 1V has lived up to expectations. This is probably the most advanced 35 mm SLR on the market. Speed is the essence of this decidedly pro-spec model. The highlights include an improved exposure control along with an exclusive "active mirror control" that quickly locks the mirror in place to prevent bounce, allowing a remarkable 10 frames per second to be shot. As befits the ultimate pro camera, it has won awards across the world; it's expensive (around $1900 street); it's big; and it's chunky. If there is something you need a camera to do, this camera and it's formidable stable of Canon optics can do it. www.usa.canon.com

This premeditated delay allows Canon to digest what is right or wrong with a new technology before diving in. For photo enthusiasts, pros and hobbyists, the $999 G1 is well worth the wait. Read more
