Canon has announced that they will be rolling out some new SX and D models of its PowerShot line this year!
The new slim, 1.29″ Canon SX260 HS offers users a 20x zoom, a 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, and 25mm Wide-Angle lens. This model will also allow video to be shot in 1080p Full HD. At around $350, this camera also will have GPS capabilities and High-Speed Burst HQ, a feature that will allow for “approximately 10 high-resolution shots to be captured at a continuous rate at 10.3 frames per second.”
For all of you active, adventurous photographers out there, the PowerShot D20 is tricked out for your rugged lifestyle. It’s waterproof, shock-proof, and freeze-proof, with a button that makes it easy to quickly switch from normal mode to snow or underwater mode. And speaking of underwater mode, the PowerShot D20 also comes with an underwater macro mode so you can get right up in those tropical fish’s faces. Expected to ship in May for around $350, it will have a 3-inch LCD screen, GPS capabilities, 1080p full HD video, and a 5x optical zoom lens.

There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the leaked images of the new Olympus E-M5. However, with the Olympus Corp.’s increasing financial and legal troubles and the recent discussion of a bailout by SONY, who already produces a Mircro 4/3′s product in this range, how realistic is the release of this camera? There is no doubt that Olympus’ past Micro 4/3′s releases, such as their PEN line of point shoots, have been a success but we remain skeptical.
- A super fast auto-focus with 3D tracking capability
- More art filters
- MOV video format and PCM sound format
- An external, weather sealed, GN10 flash
Whether or not the rumors are true, we’re always excited by an Olympus announcement and hope that this retro looking, beauty of a camera is the real thing. The official announcement of the E-M5 has not even been whispered yet but we’ll keep you up to date.

Through February 24th, at the Wieden + Kennedy gallery in Portland, Oregon, you will be able to view and purchase art for only $100; half of the proceeds will go directly back to the artists while the other half goes to Mercy Corps charity. You do not want to miss out on the chance to see some amazing art and help out a great cause!
