Canon Underwater Digital Camera
Entry-level digital camera has high-end features - New Products / Peripherals - Canon Canada Inc's PowerShot A200 MISSISSAUGA, Ont. -- Canon Canada Inc., a subsidiary of Canon Inc., has expanded its line of PowerShot digital cameras with the introduction of the new PowerShot A200 model.
Designed as an easy-to-use, entry-level digital camera, the new PowerShot A200 combines a 2-megapixel CCD chip with several advanced camera features to create high-quality digital photos at an affordable price.
In addition, the new camera can produce high-quality 4x6-inch prints by connecting directly to Canon's new CP-100 dye-sublimation printer. The A200 can also be used as an underwater camera when used with its optional waterproof housing to depths of up to 100 feet.
The PowerShot A200 is a 2.0 megapixel, single-focal length auto focus camera incorporating several advanced camera features including Movie mode Photo Effect Mode, Direct Print capabilities using Canon's new CP-100 dye-sub printer and magnified playback up to 10x for precise image confirmation. It is designed to make digital photography as easy as point-and-shoot.
The PowerShot A200 also incorporates a number of high-end features including the popular Photo Effects mode originally introduced in the highly advanced PowerShot G2 digital camera. A low sharpening mode has been added to the Vivid, Neutral, Sepia and Black-and-White modes for a total of five separate effects for greater creativity.
The shutter speed range of the A200 is among the widest in its class with a maximum shutter speed of 1/2000 second. Combining this speed with the lens' f15.6 minimum aperture setting makes the A200 ideal for daylight photography and fast-moving objects. Alternatively, when the one-second slow shutter speed is combined with the camera's f/2.8 maximum aperture and optional ISO 400 setting, photos taken in low light conditions can be captured easily and with confidence.
The PowerShot A200 can record movies in QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) and Q2VGA (160 x 120 pixels) at 20 frames per second. Up to 9 seconds of continuous recording is possible in QVGA, and up to 26 seconds in the Q2VGA format.
The PowerShot A200 sells for $370.
