Canon puts three new cameras on its 'A'-list
(Credit: Canon USA)
Canon unveiled today three new budget-priced additions to its PowerShot
A-series line of point-and-shoot cameras. Two of the models offer basic
shooting for $150 or less, while one packs exposure controls and
optical stabilization into a sub-$200 package. The PowerShot A590 IS stands out as the only new A-series PowerShot
camera to include optical image stabilization. The 8-megapixel shooter
features a 35mm- to 140mm-equivalent, f/2.6-5.5 4x zoom lens that Canon
claims can gain up to three stops with its stabilization system. Like
previous high-end A-series Canons, the A590 IS supports additional
converter lenses to boost the camera's zoom by 1.75x, give it a 0.7x
wide-angle shot, or enhance its macrophotography. It also offers full
manual exposure controls, including aperture and shutter priority
modes, giving more experienced users much more flexibility when
shooting. At about $30 less than the A590 IS, the PowerShot A580 features nearly
identical hardware as the A590, but with a slimmed-down feature set. It
keeps the same 8-megapixel resolution and 4x optical zoom lens as the
A590 IS, but forgoes the optical stabilization system and accessory
lens compatibility. Worse yet for skilled users, it lacks the A590 IS'
manual exposure controls. The 7-megapixel PowerShot A470 sits at the bottom of the pile,
featuring both the smallest price tag and the least impressive stats.
It incorporates a 38mm- to 132mm-equivalent, f/3.0-5.8 3.4x optical
zoom lens, and the same basic control options as the A580. On the
bright side, the A470 comes in blue, red, orange, and gray versions,
offering users more fashion options than the higher-end A-series
cameras. All three new cameras are scheduled to ship in March. The A590 IS and
A580 will retail for about $180 and $150, respectively. The A470 will
have a suggested retail price of $130.
