| Canon LHDC30 Lens Hood for Powershot G6 Digital Camera |
LHDC30 Lens Hood Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The addition of a lens hood can help prevent flares--those circles of light that can accompany images where a strong light source is just outside the fame. These type of lens flares occur when indirect light rays pass through the front lens elements but don't make it all the way through to the image sensor. Canon's LH-DC30 Lens Hood is threaded to screw right into the barrel of the Canon PowerShot G6. The hood's wide-mouth design is made to protect against wide-angle light rays without vignetting.

Flip out the large, 2-inch vari-angle LCD, and you're ready for anything.  | | The PowerShot G6 captures an amazing 7.1 megapixels of resolution to give even your largest prints rich, smooth detail and color. | | Resolution to Burn
The 7.1 MP resolution allows detailed prints in excess of A3 size and printing without loss of detail from tight, post-shoot crops. High Performance
With incredible speed, Canon's purpose-built DIGIC processor executes the complex algorithms required for accurate image rendering. The result is superb-quality images, more accurate focusing and metering, longer battery life, and fast startup times. Wealth of Options
An SLR-style mode dial allows you to call up any one of 12 different shooting modes. Two custom modes can be used to save and retrieve your favorite combinations of settings. Precision Lens
Great in low-light conditions, the fast f2.0-f3.0 lens has a versatile focal-length range of 7.2 to 28.8mm (35-140mm equivalent in 35mm format).  |  | | The G6's f2.0-3.0 zoom has a fine-tuned drive mechanism that speeds nimbly from the wide end to the telephoto end in under two seconds. | | iSAPS Technology Like a built-in photographer's assistant, iSAPS improves auto exposure, auto white balance and autofocus accuracy by monitoring settings and readings and using these to interpret the shooting situation. Stay Focused
When you need to be fast, the nine-point AiAF focuses quickly on your subject, even when it's off-center. For full control, FlexiZone AF/AE allows scrolling and selection of the autofocus point from across the frame. Room to Grow
For professional lighting results, the PowerShot G6 is compatible with all Canon Speedlite flash units. Optional converter lenses further extend the camera's range. Image Management
For total post-shoot control, the PowerShot G6 supports simultaneous JPEG and lossless RAW image recording for both flexibility and flawless "digital negatives." ZoomBrowser (Windows) and ImageBrowser (Mac) help manage your work, while ArcSoft PhotoStudio provides extensive image-editing and -manipulation options. Share shots and create online photo albums with 100 MB of free space through Canon iMAGE Gateway. Direct Photo Printers
For desktop large-format printing, try one of the Direct Photo Printers which allow you to print directly in one of two ways: plug the compatible PowerShot camera into the printer using the supplied cable, or simply insert a memory card with the supplied adapter. You can also connect the printer to your computer for more options. Print high-resolution, borderless images in postcard size or 8.5 x 11 within minutes.

| Canon PowerShot A620 Camera |
Loaded with features, this high-performance camera has a 7.1 Megapixel CCD to give you magnificent pictures at a price that will amaze you. And it's easy to use. Everything about this superb camera has been designed for your picture-taking pleasure. And that makes it fun!
Features:
* DIG!C II Image Processor for faster processing, vibrant colors, and excellent image quality
* 20 shooting modes including My Color settings for customization while shooting
* 7-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality 15 x 20-inch prints
* 2.0-inch vari-angle LCD display; 4x optical zoom
* Shoot high-quality movies at up to 60 frames per second
Product Description
From the Manufacturer
With 7.1 megapixels, the A620 incorporates a host of high-end features normally reserved for G-series PowerShots. The DIGIC II processor drives a fast, responsive performance, and--in combination with the camera's 4x optical zoom lenses--delivers superior image quality. A wide range of manual, automatic, and special scene modes offer flexibility, creative control, and simplicity when required.
The camera also features a 2.0-inch vari-angle LCD, My Colors, and a macro mode that allows photographers to get as close as 1 centimeter. VGA movies at 30 frames per second can be created. A complete range of optional accessories, including wide and tele-converters and waterproof case, extends shooting flexibility. (Accessories not included--must be purchased separately.) A comprehensive software suite is provided as standard. The A620 is equipped with a Print/Share button, PictBridge printing, as well as ID Photo Print and Movie Print. USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connections provide for high-speed transfer of image data.
Improved resolution, zoom, and image quality
Replacing the popular PowerShot A95, the new camera has been given a serious performance boost. The A620 features a 7.1-megapixel CCD sensor, delivering image quality suitable for detailed photo-quality prints up to 15 x 20 inches and allowing substantial cropping without loss of print quality.
The precision Canon zoom lens in this new camera follows the design and construction of G-series lenses, with eight elements in seven groups, and incorporating two aspherical elements. The upgrade to a 4x optical zoom provides a 35-140mm focal length (35mm equivalent). With a maximum aperture range of f2.8 (W) to f4.1 (T), the lens is impressively bright at the telephoto end. In addition, focusing performance in low light has improved by up to 2 stops, resulting in greater freedom when shooting in dim conditions.
The lenses' spectral characteristics have been optimized specifically for the configuration of the lens and sensor, providing accurate colors and significantly reducing the chromatic aberrations (such as purple fringing) often found with lower quality lenses.
Advanced processing and focusing
The addition of Canon's advanced DIGIC II image processor results in a faster and more responsive camera that delivers improved image quality. Focusing time has been cut by around 60%, and shutter lag is negligible at no more than 0.1 seconds. Smooth continuous shooting is now available at approximately 1.9 frames per second. With DIGIC II's superior assessment of white balance, color rendition accuracy is increased.
The new PowerShot still features Canon's 9-point AiAF for fast, accurate focusing even when subjects are not centerd. FlexiZone AF/AE allows free scrolling anywhere within the frame's auto focus area to select the desired subject, for which exposure is weighted accordingly. Manual focus selection is also available.
Increased versatility
A larger 2.0-inch vari-angle LCD offers users great versatility in composing shots from awkward angles, such as from ground or waist level, above the head, and when shooting self portraits. The selectable grid line display helps with composition and levelling horizons.
The A620 incorporates a total of 20 shooting modes, including full Manual mode, a Custom mode for allocating preferred shooting settings, and a shutter speed priority mode, with shutter speeds ranging from 15 seconds to 1/2500 second. Eight scene modes--such as Night Snapshot, Snow, and Underwater--maximize results in a variety of shooting situations. The Stitch Assist mode facilitates shooting pictures for panoramas, which can be joined together easily with the supplied PhotoStitch software. My Colors--located on the mode dial--allows the expansion of creativity in digital photography. Special effects, such as Color Swap or Custom Color, which allows users to select their preferred color balance for any given shot, can be performed in-camera and viewed on the LCD while shooting stills and movies. These effects could previously only be achieved using PC software after shooting.
High-quality movies are selectable from VGA (30/15 frames per second), QVGA (30/15 frames per second), Fast Frame Rate (for slow motion replays in camera), and Compact Mode (for clips that are ideal for e-mailing).
Advanced printing
When used in combination with Canon's new Compact Photo Printer Selphy CP510 and Canon's Ink and Paper Set (KP-108IP), prints can be produced very inexpensively. Printing via Selphy CP Compact Photo Printers also allows the user to print handy ID photo prints and movie prints.
When connected to the latest range of PictBridge compatible PIXMA printers, image enhancement is possible with functions such as Noise Reduction and Vivid Photo, as well as the new Face Brightener feature. Also new is Captured Info print, which prints shooting data such as shutter speed, aperture and shooting mode within the photo border.
Printing images without having to connect to a PC is kept simple with the Print/Share button, which also acts as an easy upload button for Windows XP and Mac OS X.
Comprehensive software
The new cameras come bundled with a comprehensive software suite, including Canon's browsing and printing software ZoomBrowser EX 5.5 (Windows) and ImageBrowser 5.5 (Mac), easy printing software PhotoRecord 2.2 and PhotoStitch 3.1 for creating stunning panoramas. Also included is the photo manipulation software, ArcSoft PhotoStudio.
Purchasers of the cameras are eligible for membership of Canon iMAGE Gateway , which offers 100 MB of online space for uploading and sharing images, and supports My Camera, which allows users to further customise their camera settings.
Supported operating systems are Windows 98 (SE), Me, 2000 (SP4), XP (SP1/2) and Mac OS X v10.2-v10.3. The cameras support PTP for driverless transfer to supported Windows XP or Mac OS X.

PowerShot A610 Review
The new Canon Powershot A610 (released August 2005) is the successor to the popular A95, which was itself the successor to the A80. The "A" designation in these names refers to the fact that they use AA batteries rather than proprietary Li-ion cells, as are used in many other Canon digicams (e.g. the "SD" series). This means batteries are always easy to find (though you'll probably want to buy a set of rechargeable NiMH cells). The A610 uses an SD memory card rather than the CF card used by the A80 and A95. detail review

| Canon Powershot S2 IS camera |
The PowerShot S2 IS is ready for action! With high resolution, an exceptionally long and superbly engineered zoom, sophisticated movie capabilities and an exciting array of shooting options, this camera can more than handle the busiest lifestyles.
The Canon Powershot S2 IS camera is a 5 megapixel digital camera with a 12 times optical zoom lens. It has a range of advanced features that mark the Powershot S2 IS down as a camera for someone who sees photography as a hobby rather than someone who is looking for a simple point and shoot model.
A lens of this length is especially useful for sports and wildlife photography. Camera shake can be an issue when you are using long lenses. This model has image stabilisation built in to help combat the problem.

This causes a slight loss of detail, but you may find this preferable to some of the darker images produced by other digital cameras. The indoor portrait is fine although there is a slight loss of definition in the hair.
