    Canon PowerShot D30 Does The Waterproof Dance

    Canon PowerShot D30 Does The Waterproof DanceHere we are with yet another waterproof camera, and Canon themselves are the ones behind the Canon PowerShot D30. This waterproof camera will be able to go underwater with you all the way to a record-breaking 82-feet below sea level, which would mean the open water diver has an additional 23 feet of depth to explore and frolic about in their underwater environment. Not only that, being wet and still working also bodes well for its other “rough” characteristics – this puppy is also temperature-resistant from 14 degrees to 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and if you happen to drop your gadgets always, fret not about doing the same to the Canon PowerShot D30 since it is also shockproof to 6.5 feet.

    Canon Powershot N Facebook Ready digital camera lets you share your crazy photos in a jiffy

    canon-powernCanon has always been right up there with the best of them when it comes to imaging technology, especially digital cameras – be it DSLRs or compact digital cameras that cater for the masses. This time around, in order to keep up with a generation that is addicted to social networks, Canon has introduced the Canon Powershot N Facebook-ready digital camera, allowing you to share your images and video instantly on Facebook at the press of a button. THis is pretty neat, but sometimes, there is the danger of posting up incriminating photos on the go without realizing it, only to kick yourself in the nuts when the chickens come home to roost.

    Just how does the Canon Powershot N digital camera upload photos to your Facebook account without having to first transfer the capture images and videos onto a computer beforehand? That is pretty simple, it comes with an integrated Wi-Fi chipset, as well as a dedicated Facebook connect button to get the job done – as long as your Canon PowerShot N remains within vicinity of a working Wi-Fi network, of course.

    Other hardware features of the Canon Powershot N include a 2.8-inch capacitive, tilt-touch panel LCD display that gives you the allowance and flexibility to shoot creative images at unique angles. Apart from that, there is a shutter and zoom ring that is located around the lens, letting you shoot easily from the top or bottom of the ring for that picture perfect image. Apart from that, you have a 8x optical zoom and a 28mm wide-angle lens at your disposal that is accompanied by a 12.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 image processor.

    The Canon PowerShot N will also boast of Full HD video recording capability alongside a dedicated movie button, while Hybrid Auto mode lets users create a composite video of brief clips automatically while snapping photos for a new creative overview, now how about that? Do expect to keep a keen eye out for the Canon PowerShot N Facebook ready digital camera later this coming September, where it will arrive in just one color – white, for $299.99 a pop.

    Canon intros PowerShot G16, S120, SX170 IS, SX510 HS point-and-shoot cameras

    Canon intros PowerShot G16, S120, SX170 IS, SX510 HS cameras

    Canon’s got a handful of incremental updates to detail today, including a selection of PowerShot point-and-shoots. The G16 is the priciest of the bunch, ringing in at $550. This model, which is set to ship in October, replaces last year’s G15, and includes a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 6 processor, 5x 28-140mm f/1.8-2.8 optical zoom lens and 1080/60p video capture. Next up is the S120, retailing for $450, also in October. This pocketable S110 replacement includes a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 6 processor, 5x 24-120mm f/1.8-5.7 optical zoom lens and 1080/60p video capture. The SX510 HS is the cheapest of this premium bunch, with a $250 MSRP. This superzoom, expected in September, packs a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 processor, a 30x 24-720mm f/3.4-5.8 optical zoom lens and 1080p video.

    The G15, S120 and SX510 HS all include built-in WiFi, letting you pair the camera with Canon’s Image Gateway Android or iOS app to upload shots to a variety of social networking sites, including Facebook, Twitter and Flickr. The final model, the PowerShot SX170 IS, does not include WiFi. It’s quite a bit cheaper at $180, however, and should ship in September. This entry-level cam includes a 16-megapixel sensor, DIGIC 4 processor, a 16x 28-448mm f/3.5-5.9 image-stabilized lens and 720p video. That last flavor replaced the SX160 IS, which launched last year as well. The SX170 swaps a rechargeable battery pack for its predecessor’s AAs, resulting in a thinner profile. Catch a bit more on all four models in the press release after the break.%Gallery-slideshow73255%

    Canon appeals to internet socialites with PowerShot N Facebook camera

    Canon appeals to internet socialites with PowerShot N Facebook pointandshoot

    Facebook fanatics have a smartphone to call their own, and now they have a camera, too. Canon’s PowerShot N, which first made its debut at CES, just scored a few (relatively minor) tweaks. The point-and-shoot features an unusual square design, so it can be rotated and held in a variety of orientations. There’s a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 5 processor, 28-224mm f/3.0-5.9 8x optical zoom lens and a 2.8-inch capacitive-touch tilting LCD, just as you’ll find on the original. In fact, the Facebook branding represents the only significant change here, including a dedicated button on the side to upload images to the site (via built-in WiFi) and a new Facebook upload option in the system menu. It’s hardly worth “upgrading” from the original N, but if Facebook is your life, get ready to hand over 300 bucks for this Canon online store exclusive beginning next month.
