PetaPixel: Canon Launches 5 New PowerShot Cameras with a Focus on Connectivity

canoncameras


Canon has refreshed its PowerShot compact camera line with five new cameras. Three SX series cameras feature wireless connectivity, while two ELPH updates feature simple spec improvements.


The SX Cameras


The new SX cameras all feature built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity for wireless data transfers. The NFC allows data to be transferred when the camera is brought close to another NFC compatible device — the new Canon Connect Center, for example.

The SX530HS is a bridge camera that packs a 50px optical zoom lens that’s equivalent to a 24-1200mm lens in 35mm terms. It features a 16-megapixel sensor.


The SX610 HS and SX710 HS feature 18x and 30x optical zoom lenses, respectively:
