You might think it's unusual for one company to introduce five new point-and-shoot cameras with the same megapixel count, which is what Canon is doing today. The Canon PowerShot A560, PowerShot A570 IS, PowerShot SD750, Canon PowerShot SD1000, and Canon PowerShot TX1 are Canon's newest 7.1 digital cameras.
But what's even more unusual is that one of the cameras, the TX1, offers high-definition video capabilities, allowing video clips that capture 1280-by-720 at 30 fps. That's 720p high-def video clips. On a 4GB card (in the 16:9 aspect ratio setting, which is its highest quality setting), you can capture about 26 minutes of video. This makes the PowerShot TX1 the first digital camera to capture HD video.
But it's also got a distinctive look. This hybrid superzoom camera comes with a 10X optical zoom lens and breaks with Canon's traditional horizontal, film-based appearance of almost all PowerShots. Indeed, with its vertical, upright form factor and its articulating 1.8-inch LCD, it's closer in appearance to Canon's camcorder line of products. It's also got optical image stabilization, face detection, a high ISO sensitivity setting of ISO 1,600, and is compatible with both SD and SDHC memory cards. The TX1 will list for $499.99.

The two A-series cameras feature 4X optical zoom lenses, 2.5-inch LCDs as well as small glass viewfinders, and are compatible with both SD and SDHC memory cards and run on AA batteries. As the product name suggests, the A570 IS comes with optical image stabilization. The A560 will list for $229.99, and the A570 IS will list for $279.99.
Both of the two new SD-series cameras feature 3X optical zoom lenses, are compatible with both SD and SDHC memory cards, and run on lithium-ion batteries. The only significant difference between the two cameras is that the SD1000 includes a small glass viewfinder and has a 2.5-inch LCD. The SD750 has a 3-inch LCD, but no viewfinder. The SD750 will list for $349.99, and the SD1000 will list for $299.99.
The new cameras will all be available in March of 2007.
