Canon's latest PowerShot and IXUS ranges of compact cameras feature small sizes and highly versatile zooms.

Canon says its new superzoom PowerShot SX530 HS, PowerShot SX710 HS and PowerShot SX610 HS will offer enthusiasts flexibility and quality. Its PowerShot SX530 HS has a 50x optical zoom and 100x ZoomPlus, while the compact PowerShot SX710 HS’s 30x optical zoom and the PowerShot SX610 HS’s 18x optical zooms are also very versatile.

The Auto Zoom function on all three models helps users keep their subject in the frame by automatically detecting the number of people and adjusting the zoom level to determine the optimal size of the image. The cameras all feature Intelligent IS to ensure each shot is sharp. Once captured, users can start sharing images and Full HD Movies to a smartphone or tablet with one touch, using integrated Wi-Fi and Dynamic NFC.

Canon says its new PowerShot N2 has a touch screen which tilts up 180 degrees, activating a dedicated “selfie” mode. An enhanced Creative Shot mode creates an array of different treatments with every picture taken and the intelligent technology analyses the subject and shoots short movie clips with varying frame rates and effects. The unique square design has an innovative zoom and shoot lens rings, so users can take pictures from various angles.

The small sizes (Canon says they are the smallest they have created) and portability of the IXUS 160, IXUS 165 and IXUS 170 make them simple to shoot with whilst users are on the move. The IXUS 170 has a 12x optical zoom, and the IXUS 160 and IXUS 165 have 8x optical zooms. All three cameras have a 20MP sensor for detailed stills, while Smart Auto lets shooters control camera settings easily, and the fun Creative Filters provide instant creative results.

The IXUS 160 is available now, and the other cameras will be in stores by end February. Prices will be set at dealers’ discretion.
