07 May, 2007 - Canon Just announce 2 new digital cameras today PowerShot S5 IS and SD850 IS (IXUS 950 IS).

Canon Powershot SD850 IS (Digital IXUS 950 IS) which replaces the SD700 IS (IXUS 800 IS). This new digital camera features an eight megapixel 1/2.5″ (5.8 x 4.3 mm) CCD sensor mated to a four times optical zoom lens in a compact metal body. In addition the SD850 also features optical Image Stabilization (hence the IS suffix), a 2.5″ “PureColor” LCD monitor and face detection for optimizing AF, exposure and flash (up to nine faces). Face Detection can also be used in playback mode for red-eye removal. The SD850 also has a 1 frame per second ’spy camera mode’. See also Canon Powershot SD850 IS features and Specification.

The new PowerShot S5 IS digital camera. The S5 IS features an eight megapixel 1/2.5″ (5.8 x 4.3 mm) CCD sensor and a twelve times Image Stabilized zoom lens. Unfortunately this lens, while offering long reach with its maximum 432 mm equiv. FOV doesn’t improve at the wide end with the same 36 mm equiv. FOV as the S3 IS. Improvements include Face Detection (for AF, AE and Flash in shooting mode and red-eye removal in playback), a 2.5″ LCD monitor (up on the S3 IS) and a flash hot-shoe. Still no RAW support though.
