canon (finally) announces new elphs!
DCResource just posted a press release about the release of the two new *awesome* Canon Elph's hittin the shelves! I'm really stoked on the SD500... (but I gotta see how much bulkier it is than the SD400), but it looks amazing, so I'm sure I can handle the extra .2" and go for it anyway. :)These cameras have this cool new feature that's not been seen before:
"New My Color feature gives you "virtual" color filters and also allows you to swap one color for another, without ever touching a computer..... Now even the most casual picture-taker can easily opt for verdant valleys of greener greens, juicy apples of redder red, skies and seas of bluer- blue and even add or reduce a little tan to the skin tone as they are shooting. Whether the desired effect is to make the color “more real” or surreal, these digital dynamos are capable of capturing and saving both the original still image and the enhanced color versions as separate files on the camera’s SD Memory Card."SWEET!!
And the "14% better battery life" + "50% better flash range" - AWESOME!!
There are may things I'm excited about on these cameras. Don't worry - I will post another link here when they're up for sale. I'm a fan! :)
