The introduction of the new PowerShot A60 digital camera offer an advanced level
of control over the image making process. The 2.0 Megapixel Canon PowerShot
A60 will offer broad appeal to consumers intending to upgrade to a more versatile digital camera. These new cameras
will replace the Canon PowerShot A30 and A40 models in the PowerShot line-up.
"With these two new compact and contemporary models Canon is offering
a wealth of creative control that is easy to understand and operate."
says Hiroshi Komatsuzaki, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. "Both
the PowerShot A60 and the PowerShot A70 combine excellent resolution,
fine optics and the high picture quality that comes as standard with Canon's
DIGIC image processor."
High Powered Performance
Sharing a high tech design with aluminum front cover and coloured metallic
handgrips common design these cameras have striking looks that combine
a sense of both the modern and the traditional. A mode dial mirroring
that of the EOS SLR range gives users access to the cameras' 12 shooting
modes, including a range of subject based auto modes and a movie mode.
Offering a wider scope for photographic experimentation, Canon has also
included manual, aperture priority and shutter priority exposure modes.
These modes are supported by a metering system that boasts evaluative,
centre weighted average and spot options.
This models is equipped with a 35-105mm f/2.8-4.8 3x optical zoom lens
to cover a wide selection of photographic opportunities. The PowerShot
A60 backs this up with a 2.5x digital zoom 3.2x digital zoom.
Canon's DIGIC (DIGital Imaging Core) processor ensures excellent colour
rendition and white balance for every shot. This high powered processor
delivers super fast autofocusing, noise-free imaging and advanced flash
exposure performance
The advanced specification continues with Canon's 5 point AiAF (Artificial
intelligence Auto Focus) system for focusing accuracy, shutter speeds
of 15-1/2000sec and fast sequence shooting at a rate of 2.6 frames per
second for the A60.
High resolution video
The introduction of the Canon DIGIC processor to this new PowerShot
model has also made it possible to include a 3 minute standard resolution
movie clip feature. All movie clips have sound recording and may be viewed
with sound, and even edited, immediately on the camera's rear LCD screen.
Canon's Direct Printing and a host of accessories
Computer-less printing and printing away from home is made easy with
Canon's Direct Print system that allows these cameras to be linked directly
to certain Bubble Jet Direct Printers and to Canon's CP-10 and CP-100
portable Card Photo Printers. Users may also make use of the CANON iMAGE
GATEWAY online service for digital camera customisation, information and
downloads, image sharing and storage.
The software included is Canon's ZoomBrowser EX (Windows), Image Browser
(Mac), PhotoRecord, PhotoStitch and RemoteCapture software. As the camera
is PTP compatible no additional drivers are needed in Windows XP or MAC
OS X environments.
