If the Canon PowerShot G10 digital camera is too expensive for you, then you might want to consider getting the PowerShot SX10 IS instead. Retailing for $100 less than the G10 (at $399), the PowerShot SX10 IS is also packed with powerful features highlighted by its zooming power which is almost like the zooming power of most entry-level DSLR cameras.

With its wide-angle (28mm – 560 mm) lens with 20x optical zoom, the PowerShot SX10 IS is certainly a keeper for advanced photo enthusiasts. It will enable users to take long-range shots without sacrificing image quality. In fact, they can capture facial expression clearly even if they are too far away from their subjects. Like the other recently announced Canon cameras, the PowerShot SX10 IS also features the DIGIC 4 image processor together with the Servo AF function, intelligent contrast correction, advanced face detection and motion detection technology, and face-detection self-timer.

Canon’s Powershot G9 digital camera is one of Canon’s best point-and-shoot models. It’s the next best thing to the entry-level DSLR, the Canon EOS 400D, but it has been a long time since the Powershot G9 came out. Now is just about the right time that Canon come up with a new model – the Powershot G10. For this new model of the G-series digital camera line, Canon is featuring a three-tier functionality, namely DIGIC 4 image processor, 28mm Optical Image Stabilized lens and RAW mode.

Aside from these three major features, advanced photo enthusiasts will also be glad to know that the 14.7 megapixel Powershot G9 now has a 3-inch Pure Color LCD II screen, 5x optical zoom, and optical image stabilization. Its DIGIC 4 image processor function gives the Powershot G9 advanced face detection technology, advanced motion technology, face-detection self-timer, Servo Auto Focus and an Intelligent Contrast Correction function.

What started as rumor has now finally come true, as Canon introduced its latest professional DSLR camera model, the EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR camera. It might have taken Canon three years to update its highly popular EOS 5D released sometime in 2005, but it looks like the three long years of wait may be well worth it. Improving on its predecessor’s features, the 5D Mark II features a full-frame CMOS sensor coupled with HD video capture. This may not be the DSLR industry’s first camera to have this feature since Nikon has introduced it with their recently announced D90 DSLR, but it is certainly the first Canon DSLR camera to have it.

Aside from the HD video capture, the EOS 5D Mark II is packed with great features and functionality that would certainly please professional camera users. These include; a 21.1 megapixel full frame 24 x 36mm CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 imaging processor and an ISO sensitivity range of 50 to a whopping 25,600. In addition, the 5D Mark II also has a 3.9 fps continuous shooting capability, 15-point Autofocus with nine selectable AF points, a 3-inch clear view LCD, optical viewfinder with 98 percent coverage and a 150,000-cycle shutter durability.
