Canon PowerShot S60

Canon PowerShot S60 Digital camera - 5.0 Megapixel - 3.6 x optical zoom

$276 to $370

The PowerShot S60 continues the compact and full function legacy of the PowerShot S-series, but is now even slimmer. Compared to the PowerShot S50, the PowerShot S60 is 3.2 mm slimmer. In addition, ergonomically redesigned and repositioned buttons, and a redesigned menu interface combine to improve ease of operation.

This camera is equipped with an approximately 5 million pixel CCD. The DIGIC Imaging Processor speeds precise image handling, and when teamed with iSAPS technology, results in the best image control.

This camera is equipped with a newly designed 28 to 100 mm, f/2.8-5.3, 3.6x optical zoom lens. Compared to cameras with the usual 35 mm maximum wide-angle setting, the PowerShot S60's 28 mm lens lets you take in more of a scene at the same distance. On the other hand, thanks to the 3.6x optical zoom, telephoto photography approaching 3x cameras is also possible. By incorporating a newly designed, molded, aspherical UA lens - with its ultra-high index of refraction - into the zoom lens composition, high magnification rates with excellent image quality and a slimmer body were achieved.
