LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Aug 24, 2006 – Canon's new PowerShot A710 IS, A640 and A630 compact digital cameras combine functionality with photographic simplicity, all in a compact form factor that fits snugly in the hand. These 7.1, 10.0 and 8.0 megapixel cameras pack a high resolution punch to ensure that consumers' most cherished memories are clear and crisp today and for years to come. The cameras will be in stores this October for estimated selling prices of $399.99*, $399.99* and $299.99*, respectively.
As America's choice for digital cameras, The NPD Group reports that Canon has maintained its number one market position throughout the 2006 first half, with 23.0 percent unit share**. In fact, the NPD Group's top 10 digital camera listing has included at least two of Canon's PowerShot A-series cameras within the 2006 first half as well.
Canon PowerShot A710 IS Digital Camera
Named for their use of AA batteries, Canon's A-series digital cameras offer comfortably placed controls and feature high image quality in order for consumers to capture, save and share images of meaningful memories, personal milestones and family functions.
"All of our A-Series PowerShot digital cameras offer consumers an easy transition from traditional film cameras to digital imaging based on form factor, ease-of-use and design," explained Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president and general manager of the consumer imaging group at Canon U.S.A., Inc. "The PowerShot A-Series line-up continues Canon's long-standing tradition of providing consumers with imaging excellence in an affordable and uncomplicated package."
PowerShot A-Series - They All Pack A Punch The PowerShot A710 IS digital camera features a high resolution 7.1 Megapixel CCD with a 2.5 inch LCD screen, an optical viewfinder and a high-quality Canon 6x Optical Zoom lens, along with Canon's original Image Stabilizer (IS) Technology - making it the first A-Series model to provide image stabilization. The PowerShot A640 and A630 digital cameras are equipped with high resolution 10.0 and 8.0 Megapixel CCDs respectively. Both cameras feature a high-quality Canon 4x Optical Zoom lens, an optical viewfinder, and a 2.5-inch Vari-Angle LCD screen.
PowerShot A-Series - They Have More Scenes Then Ever Before Each new PowerShot A-Series digital camera is equipped with Canon's nine-point AiAF "Smart" autofocus system. The A710 IS model offers 20 shooting modes, while the A640 and A630 models feature 21 shooting modes. The standard shooting modes are Full Auto, Program, Manual, Shutter-priority, and Aperture-priority. Additional modes include Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Special Scene (10 varieties), Stitch Assist and Movie. Two new shooting features for the A-Series line are Safety Zoom and Digital Tele-converter. The Safety zoom function allows users to comfortably explore digital zoom without sacrificing image quality while the new Digital Tele-converter digitally emulates having a traditional tele-converter attached.
Canon PowerShot A640 Digital Camera
PowerShot A-Series - Lights! Camera! Action! The new A-Series digital cameras are also capable of recording VGA movies with sound at 30 frames per second for up to 36 minutes per clip with optional high-capacity 4GB SDHC memory cards, making them perfect for capturing memories in motion.
PowerShot A-Series - It Is All In the Design The new cameras' grips are ergonomically improved, and the control layout is even easier to use then before. The large and bright 2.5-inch LCD screens feature TFT design for a wide viewing angle, and the size of the screens makes it easier for users to read menu settings and preview or review their photos.
PowerShot A-Series - My Colors Canon's enhanced (from previous models) 'My Colors' mode provides PowerShot users with an incredible range of creative photo effects, which can be accessed directly from the camera with no need for post-processing in a computer. Consumers can adjust a specific color within an image to modify the look and feel of their picture. Available My Color playback modes include Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, and Vivid Red; lighter and darker skin tones, as well as options for creating black & white, sepia, neutral and positive film effects. Where previously, users could only enable 'My Colors' while shooting, the updated My Colors mode lets users retouch captured images as well, without the need for special software applications or tools.
PowerShot A-Series - The DIGIC Difference Because of Canon's proprietary DIGIC II (Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit) image processor, consumers can enjoy long battery life, smooth operation, accurate color reproduction, and excellent image quality. The DIGIC II chip combines the roles of image processing and camera function control into one chip, resulting in faster display and write times for each image and lower power consumption, which extends battery life.
PowerShot A-Series - Print/Share Button With Canon's cameras and photo printers, consumer can enjoy a complete digital imaging solution from nearly anywhere. Located on the backside of the new PowerShot A-Series digital cameras is the Print/Share button. This button simplifies and accelerates direct printing to compatible Canon and PictBridge enabled printers and one-touch image transfer to computers*** for use with image processing programs, uploading to the Internet, or as email attachments. When consumers connect their camera to a compatible printer or computer via the supplied USB cable, the Print/Share button illuminates to let the user know to press the Print/Share button to begin the printing or downloading process.

This has to be joke, Canon, about on-line camera product registeration, and getting all those wonderful firmware and software upgrades
Posted by: Bill Orescan Apr 24, 2007 @ 7:28 PM EST
I give up...I cannot find a place where I can register my new camera. I need to get it registered so I can activate the protection plan. Need instructions ASAP.

Canon must not be confident in the cammeras they make since you can't register them on0line. Don't waste your time trying.

I purchased a Power Shot SD850 IS and tried to register. NO LUCK!!HELP
Posted by: alfred reslock Sep 16, 2007 @ 10:47 PM EST
I am sorry I have to agree with your other customers, you give us a site to register our new cameras and then you do not provide an online registration site. Poor policy, makes new customers wonder what we have gotten ourselves in for if we can't register our product what happens when we have problems with our cameras?

used this www. address to register SD850IS but was unaable to register

I was able to regesister my A640 here. For other models, start from the home page and follow the links for your particular model. USA only.
Good Luck.

The web address from canon does not work to register, you must go to canon's offical site and they will give you a link to register your product.
