Canon Powershot S60

Canon Powershot S60 ... PowerShot S60 continues the compact and full function legacy of the PowerShot S-series, but is now even slimmer. Compared to the PowerShot S50, the PowerShot S60 is 3.2 mm slimmer. In addition, ergonomically redesigned and repositioned buttons, and a redesigned menu interface combine to improve ease of operation.

This camera is equipped with an approximately 5 million pixel CCD. The DIGIC Imaging Processor speeds precise image handling, and when teamed with iSAPS technology, results in the best image control.

This camera is equipped with a newly designed 28 to 100 mm, f/2.8-5.3, 3.6x optical zoom lens. Compared to cameras with the usual 35 mm maximum wide-angle setting, the PowerShot S60's 28 mm lens lets you take in more of a scene at the same distance. On the other hand, thanks to the 3.6x optical zoom, telephoto photography approaching 3x cameras is also possible. By incorporating a newly designed, molded, aspherical UA lens - with its ultra-high index of refraction - into the zoom lens composition, high magnification rates with excellent image quality and a slimmer body were achieved.

Photographic functions are also being added and improved. The camera can use its macro setting to take photos as close as 4 cm from the subject. In addition, shutter speeds from 15 to 1/2000 of a second can be selected. When shooting photos in the RAW format, you can now select the resolution of the JPEG preview image that is simultaneously saved in the RAW image data. The Tv and Av modes have added the Safety Shift function, which automatically adjusts settings for an appropriate exposure when shooting. VGA movies (640x480) can now be recorded. Compared to the PowerShot S50, start up time has been reduced.

The Print/Share button has also been added, letting you easily print your images by connecting the camera directly to a direct print compatible printer and then simply pressing this button.
