They are wide angle and Image stabilised, 720p for most of them too. 14x optical is crazy, you're gunna need a tripod!]]>Feb 8th 2010 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/
You can use it handheld with full zoom as long as the shutter speed is 1/400 or faster]]>Feb 8th 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/Feb 8th 2010 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/
As long as The option to dial down to a sensible 8 or fewer megapixels is still there, some of these look sweet! Although I may just use this chance to get a great closeout deal on a Powershot 980 as I'm not convinced these bring anything new over that.

The real good news here is, wide angles are becoming more pervasive across Canon's line, the rest of this is just fluff. ]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/
I was using manual mode with ISO fixed at 100, and 15 second exposures at f~7, right in between the min and max. Same settings at the wide angle and full zoom and the zoom pictures were pretty much sickening but the wide ones turned out pretty decent.]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/Why? drop to 10MP, half the shutter speed, less zoom, no HDMI port, No SDXC card support, no touch screen, and doesn't do 720p video... Yea, I'd upgrade to the S90 for more money than the SX210, sure... ]]>Feb 8th 2010 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/Feb 8th 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/
Honestly, more MP means that at lower settings, I can get very low noise pictures. Also, I can shoot high and compress to lower resolutions very easily and without distortion. It also means I can shoot very wide images, and crop much easier without sacrificing the final pixel count of a cropped shot.

The 14MP sensor Canon is using is a VERY good sensor. No, it;s no full frame CCD, but you can not compare these sensors to $2000-4000 cameras. Going to 21MP, yea, that's a marketing grab. 14 is not insane, nor is it industry leading.

This is not some cheapo PnS you give to your 12 year old, this is a PnS camera for someone who actually wants to take good pics in mixed environments with little fuss which still giving SLR operators a good PnS spare that has most of the manual configuration they're used to. The ELPH series also takes GREAT action shots compared to others in the class. Nikon and Sony have a lot to learn from Canon on that point. ]]>Feb 8th 2010 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/Feb 8th 2010 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canon-rolls-out-four-new-colorful-powershot-compact-cams/Feb 8th 2010 6:12PM
