U.S.-based Canon Inc. will bring two of its new digital cameras to the Canadian market in July. The cameras are called the PowerShot A5 and the PowerShot Pro 70. The A5 replaces the PowerShot 600, improving on its predecessor's capabilities in the areas of image quality, performance and ease-of-use. The point-and-shoot camera weighs 230 grams. The camera offers images of 1024 X 768 pixels captured at 10 bits-per-channel to produce a 24-bit color image. The Pro 70 is designed for serious photographers, professional communicators and other business professionals. It offers high optical resolution, low distortion and wide-angle capability. In addition, the camera features two CompactFlash card slots, as well as large and small resolution settings. The two cameras went on the U.S. market earlier this month.
