Who cares what they look like, as long as they perform well for the price point. It's a camera! You worry about what's on the other side of the lens.]]>Jan 5th 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/Jan 5th 2010 10:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/
The A490 price point is just right for gifting to people who you know don't take many pictures per year and still haven't made the jump to digital.]]>Jan 5th 2010 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/Jan 5th 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/Jan 5th 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/Jan 5th 2010 10:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/Jan 5th 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/Jan 5th 2010 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/
They could have just kept the PowerShot moniker (read: not dSLR) and made it a different series. I mean they've already got PowerShot A, G, Pro, S, SD, SX and TX (possibly others). How hoar would it have been to add a PowerShot L-series or something?

I guess the A just means "amateur" now. Yeah great, a really flattering mnemonic.]]>Jan 5th 2010 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters/Jan 5th 2010 3:07PM
