Canon has announced the introduction of the new PowerShot S45. The PowerShot S45 is
the successor of the award-winning PowerShot S40 and is aimed at the advanced user who
wants full photographic control in a compact digital camera.
"The new PowerShot S45 is an excellent example of Canon's philosophy of offering
unique digital camera features and outstanding performance at every price point," says
Yukiaki Hashimoto, vice president and general manager, photographic products group.
"Canon will continue to provide consumers with the most attractive selection of
digital cameras on the market."
The 4.0 megapixel Canon PowerShot S45 features a high-resolution 3X f/2.8 optical zoom
lens and a compact, silver-toned aluminum exterior for a rich and elegant appearance.
In addition, the S45 includes Canon's exclusive "DIGIC" imaging processor to help
improve overall image quality, increased processing speed and enhanced camera features
including a nine-point AiAF autofocus system for faster and easier focusing;
nine-position white balance; selectable metering modes for precise exposure in almost
any shooting condition; selectable second-curtain sync flash; an improved movie mode
that captures clips up to three minutes apiece with sound; and direct print
capabilities with Canon's CP-100 dye-sublimation printer and several Canon Bubble Jet
Printers.
The PowerShot S45 will be available in December $649 (SRP).
Editor's note: The direct print capabilities of new cameras badly needs a standard
under which all can operate interchangeably with the various printers available. The
fact that this Canon camera can only print to a small subset of the company's printers.
