Canon PowerShot A100 |
Introducing One of The Easiest Cameras Ever!
Introducing one of the smartest and simplest digital cameras ever! From its stunning clarity and color to its powerful performance features, this is the digital camera that has it all — for far less than ever before. The PowerShot A100 is equipped with a high-resolution autofocus f/2.8 lens (equivalent to 39mm in the 35mm format). What’s in it for you? Images that will dazzle and delight you with their intimate details and brilliant, true-to-life colors. It’s the superlative picture performance of a high-end digital camera for less than you ever thought possible.
The A100 has a 5.0mm fixed focal length lens, with a maximum aperture of f/2.8. The focal length equates to a 39mm lens on a conventional 35mm camera, a slight wide angle. A large disc around the lens controls the built-in lens cover, and also turns the camera on or off in capture mode. I don’t think I’ve seen this particular design on a digicam before, but it works quite well. A tab extends from the left side of the disc (as viewed from the front of the camera), serving as a finger grip. Pressing down on this tab rotates the disc slightly, opening the lens cover and turning the camera on in capture mode. Pressing the tab up rotates the disc in the other direction, closing the lens cover and turning the camera off. I really like built-in lens covers like this, as they eliminate the problem of lost lens caps.
High quality images are provided by Canon’s image processing expertise, optimizing output from the 1.2M-pixel CCD sensor to create images that are great to email or print. The bright F2.8 lens, ensures your pictures are always clear and sharp, and the latest intelligent three point AiAF focusing system (Artificial intelligence Auto Focus) means the subject is always in focus wherever they are in the frame. The PowerShot A100 also supports Canon’s Direct Print printers - the Card Photo Printer CP-100 and CP-10. Direct printing is the quickest and easiest way to get photo quality prints without a PC. Simply connect the camera to the printer, select the image on your camera, and print. The CP-100 allows up to 10 x 15cm photo quality prints and the CP-10 is ideal for credit card size photos.
