If you follow me on Twitter then this new Canon PowerShot shouldn’t surprise you — I told you Canon was releasing them today.
The Canon PowerShot ELPH 510 HS and ELPH 310 HS Digital cameras
The PowerShot ELPH 510 HS Digital camera features a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor with a 12x optical zoom and 28mm wide-angle lens, Canon’s HS SYSTEM and 1080p Full HD video recording. The ELPH 510 HS Digital camera also includes a High-Speed Burst mode, Intelligent IS and Smart AUTO. Available in red, black, and silver, this camera has a 3.2-inch wide, touch-panel LCD screen, offering fast and easy menu navigation. The ELPH 510 HS Digital camera also has Touch Shutter, simply touch the screen where you want to focus and release your finger to take a photo. The ELPH 510 HS Digital camera is scheduled to be available at the beginning of October for the estimated retail price of $349.99.
Of the 3 cameras (and 1 external flash) that was released early this morning, the one that interests me the most is the PowerShot ELPH 510 HS. It’s ultra-compact (Canon is claiming it is the world’s thinnest with a 12x optical zoom — NICE), and shoots great 1080p video using Canon’s DIGIC 4 sensor. I want this, it comes out in early October.
UPDATE: For those of you who are watering at the mouth like I am, you can pre-order the Canon PowerShot ELPH 510 HS (in black) on Amazon.
