PowerShot G11
Canon’s enhanced DIGIC 4 image processor is at the core of this black beauty joint in with the 10.0 megapixel high-sensitivity CCD image sensor, a combination that brings out the great photo capturing quality of the PowerShot G11.
It’s a professional with a touch of subtlety, two qualities that is very appealing to the aspiring professional photographer. The PowerShot G11 has added on a 2.8 inches Pure Color II LCD vari-angle LCD that is scratch resistant and allows easier framing of shots and captured images.
The premium quality Canon lens in the PowerShot G11 delivers picture-perfect performance, with its 5x wide angle zoom capability (equivalent to 28-140mm) and the Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS). The camera is capable of macro shots as close as 1cm. OIS allows handheld shots to be taken at much slower shutter speeds (4-stops), allowing better performance in darker conditions or at a lower ISO. The model is also equipped with motion detection, face detection and blink detection.
Together with the brand new i-Contrast automatic photo optimization, manual exposure shooting mode, which includes Aperture Priority (Av) and shutter speed priority mode, the PowerShot G11 is always ready to capture a perfect scene.
Other additional functions: white balance, full range of shooting modes and recording modes including RAW / JPEG for the Ultimate Creative Control, as well as Speedlite series flash.
The PowerShot G11 is available at RM1,999.00.
PowerShot S90
Canon’s PowerShot S90 features a black matte delicate body and comes equipped with the new rotating control ring. This feature allows users to adjust the settings of various functions by twisting the selector at the base on the lens barrel to the left or right. The control ring can be used as a quasi-manual zoom offering a closer view of subjects in 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 105mm steps.
It also allows the timing of shooting functions flexibly such as ISO (in1/3 stop increments), shutter, aperture, focus and exposure compensation and more at a touch of the finger allowing a new experience to the user. Topping that is the new Nostalgic Mode which allows the Control Ring to be used to add an aged effect to the shot, from a subtle faded look to full grainy black & white.
Furthermore, the PowerShot S90 also has the high aperture f2.0 wide angle lens with OIS that allows twice as much light into the camera as a f2.8 lens. The Optical Image Stabiliser technology also uses a lens-shift system to minimize camera shake and image blur- effectively giving photographers a 4-stop advantage over non-OIS cameras. The PowerShot S90 also spots 10.0 megapixel high-sensitivity low noise CCD for superb dynamic range and low-light detail to make the image quality subtle and elite.
The PowerShot S90 comes with a 3.0 inch display, which features Canon’s Pure Color II LCD technology. It allows user to frame and review images effectively thanks to an exceptionally wide viewing angle, 461k dot resolution and great color rendition. In situations where flash photography is required, the PowerShot S90 has a convenient pop-up flash that automatically retracts when not required. Besides that, it also has a brand new scene detection function packaged with face detection, motion detection and blink detection.
The new entrant also supports high lighting and zoom shots, and comes with the brand new i-Contrast automatic photo optimization. The PowerShot S90 has complete range of shooting and recording modes including RAW / JPEG for the Ultimate Creative Control, built-in HDMI-mini output interface, making it convenient to connect to high-definition television.
Other additional functions: white balance, manually exposure shooting mode, which includes Aperture Priority (Av) and shuttle speed priority mode and etc.
