Canon PowerShot ELPH 130IS brings WiFi to the company's high-end point-and-shoot line
Were you betting Canon would announce a few WiFi-enabled cameras at CES this year? Ding ding ding -- you're a winner! Fork over 200 bucks and claim your prize. The company's latest ELPH may be tiny, but it still packs all of the banner features you'd expect in 2013. On the wireless front, you'll have the ability to create an ad-hoc network for booting stills and videos directly to connected computers, tablets or smartphones. There's also compatibility with Canon's CameraWindow app (for Android and iOS), along with the ability to add comments to images that you choose to upload to Twitter or send via email. You can also upload shots to Facebook, with control over where the images show up on the site. As far as hardware is concerned, there's a 16-megapixel sensor, a DIGIC 4 processor and an 8x optically stabilized zoom lens with a 28mm wide-angle position and a maximum aperture range of f/3.2-6.9. You also get a 3-inch, 461k-dot LCD with the same Eco mode offered with other models in the company's 2013 lineup, which serves to power down the display after eight seconds of inactivity, providing an up to 30-percent boost in battery life -- simply press any button on the camera to wake it back up instantly. There's Intelligent IS, HD video capture and the same Smart Auto mode (and scene modes) offered with previous models. Canon's planning to release the ELPH 130IS with a $200 sticker price -- you can expect it to hit stores beginning next month. Follow all the latest CES 2013 news at our event hub.
