14 DAY TRIAL // Canon A75, which was the No. 1 selling digital camera in the U.S. from January to November 2004, will be replace by a new, smaller camera PowerShot A510.
This model is 13 percent smaller and uses only two AA batteries instead of four as in A75 and A series. This was possible thanks to SD flash media and the replacement of batteries has permitted a 10 percent lighter camera, but the battery life is the same, while providing 300 shots with a fresh set of batteries with the LCD screen on - the same number of shots as previous models, which used four batteries, according to Canon.
Another improvement is that this model equipped with a longer 4.0x, 35-140mm (35mm format equivalent) optical zoom lens with Canon optics. The new lens features all-glass construction and two aspherical elements in a seven-element formula.
The digital camera also is capable of recording movies with sound for up to three minutes per clip. PowerShot A510 digital camera kit will be available by the end of this month for an estimated price of US$200.
