Canon
has upped the ante a bit with the PowerShot S60.
The Canon S60 still features 5.0 megapixel resolution
on 1/1.8-in. image sensor and a F2.8 max. aperture,
but adds a 3.6x wide-angle optical zoom, a slightly
faster shutter speed of 1/2000 sec., and a closer
4 cm (1.6 in.) macro capability.
The Canon S60 has the full complement of exposure
control a serious amateur photographer demands:
Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority, Scene Modes
and full Manual mode. The LCD monitor stays at
1.8 in. The S60 takes CompactFlash Type I and
II.
The
Canon S60 has a low-light focus-assist illuminator
to help obtain accurate focus in dim situations.
You can take continuous shots at about 2 frames
per second, and shoot up to 30 sec. of QuickTime
AVI movie at 640x480 size. The S60 takes a Li-on
battery and comes with a battery charger.
Other
features:
-
RAW file format is available.
-
A histogram can be displayed in Playback.
- The
AF frame can be positioned anywhere on screen.
- Manual
focus is available.
The
Canon PowerShot S60 is targeted to serious
amateur photographers who demand a digital camera
with all the features they are used to having
and who refuse to compromise with quality images.
