February 21, 2007 – With the introduction of the PowerShot A570 IS and A560 digital cameras, Canon's A-Series cameras have once again come to the rescue of consumers just joining the digital photo revolution, as well as those who are already in the photo-fray, and are waiting for top-tier technology to trickle down before they trade-up.

Although the line's "A" designation stands for the convenient AA batteries it accepts, it could easily stand for "affordable" or simply reflect the consistently high marks that these feature-packed PowerShot digital cameras earn from camera users and digital camera advocates alike. These two newest A-Series digital cameras continue to deliver on Canon's long-standing commitment to produce the highest quality cameras at the highest possible value to consumers. Indeed, Canon's A-series of cameras have long been heralded as a top-featured, entry-level line of digital cameras and rewarded with considerable consumer loyalty. Read more

February 21, 2007 – At first glance Canon's new 7.1 megapixel PowerShot TX1 digital camera looks familiar...pocket-sized, stainless steel case with textured accents and enough cutting-edge photo technology to make one wonder how they got all that functionality into that deck of playing cards-sized package. Indeed, this compact camera fits in just as well at a football game or a family function; in a small evening bag for a night on the town, or the pocket of a dress shirt, and is as much at home on a business trip as it is on a hard-earned weekend getaway.

At second glance, the mystery of how they got all that functionality into that really small space deepens. Augmented by a simple press of the power button - this digital camera comes alive and the family resemblance to not one, but many of Canon's crowning camera achievements becomes immediately apparent...a stainless-steel barrier on the camera's leading-edge slides away to unleash the PowerShot TX1 digital camera's formidable (and optically image-stabilized) 10x optical zoom lens that glides smoothly from its resting place into the open air. Unfold a simple yet securely hinged housing, and an 115,000-pixel Vari-Angle LCD screen is freed to swivel camcorder-like from the PowerShot TX1 digital camera's side. Read more

February 21, 2007 – Call it Canon caché, or ELPH excellence, but the two newest, 7.1 megapixel entries into Canon's legendary line of thin, trim, Digital ELPH cameras – the PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH and the PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH – continue to push the envelope of easy image excellence, without leaving a telltale bump or bulge when discretely deposited in a pocket or purse. ELPH cameras are recognized by consumers from the tech-savvy to the style conscious alike, as evident from the PowerShot SD600 Digital ELPH's rankings as the best - selling digital camera of 2006 according to The NPD Group's retail tracking service.

Indeed, the SD750 Digital ELPH and SD1000 Digital ELPH cameras are set to take their proven places out and about, from the high profile red carpet walkways of premieres and parties and the scintillating stylista demands of special nights on the town to cool and casual anywhere/anytime outings. These Digital ELPH cameras remain the alpha photo fashion accessories and the apex progenitors of style and substance...often imitated, never duplicated. Read more

February 21, 2007 – Canon, the worldwide market leader in digital cameras, celebrates the 20th anniversary of its top-selling EOS single lens reflex camera system by announcing the EOS-1D Mark III Digital SLR, the world's fastest digital SLR camera. At 10 frames per second, the 10.1 megapixel EOS-1D Mark III digital SLR can fire huge motor-driven bursts of 110 Large JPEGs or 30 RAW files because it employs the new Dual DIGIC III image processor engine, providing enough computational horsepower to do parallel processing at a rate unmatched by any other digital SLR.
