Canon
has today announced the four megapixel PowerShot A80. As with all Canon's
'A' series digital cameras this one is aimed at the beginner, having said
that it's far more feature rich than most entry level digital cameras
with a flip-out and twist LCD monitor and a wide range of manual controls.
Unlike the A60 and A70 which use the 1/2.7" type CCD (5.3 x 4.0 mm)
the A80 has a 1/1.8" type CCD (7.2 x 5.3 mm) which actually gives
it larger pixel size than its predecessors. The A80 maintains a three
times optical zoom lens, AA battery power and Compact Flash storage.
