Jump into Digital Photography with the Canon PowerShot A20

Canon achieves the perfect union of quality, versatily and affordabiltity with a remarkable digital camera designed to appeal to both first time digital camera users and price-conscious shutterbugs alike. Despite its modest price tag, the PowerShot A20 delivers high quality, high definition digital photos that will amaze and delight.

Canon’s new consumer-oriented digital camera, the A20, is a great 2-megapixel point-and-shoot. The 3x optical zoom lens includes an aspherical element to help reduce distortion and provide clarity. The built-in flash provides red-eye reduction, fill, night, auto, and off modes. While aimed at the consumer crowd, the A20 also features exposure compensation controls between +/- 2 EV in one-third increments. Additionally, there are several white-balance settings to choose from to help in most shooting situations.

A new digital signal processing IC in the PowerShot A20 camera enables high-speed image processing and rapid data transfer through the cameras’ USB interface. The PowerShot A20 takes advantage of this feature by offering a Direct Print mode that enables users to print hard-copy images using Canon’s new CP-10 printer. The CP-10 makes printing from digital files simple and fun by allowing users to control all print settings directly from the camera’s LCD monitor. Printer data is then transferred to the CP-10 directly through a dedicated interface cable.

A rotary wheel at the bottom of the back panel selects record or playback modes and auto or manual exposure. A further set of four buttons under the LCD works with a simple set of menus to control most other functions of the camera. The PowerShot A20 takes four AA batteries, which may be alkaline or rechargeable, though no charger is supplied.
