Canon Announces New 5-Megapixel Powershot S60
Canon U.S.A. Inc., Lake Success, N.Y., USA, introduced its new PowerShot S60 digital camera, which combines 5-megapixel resolution and a newly developed 28-100mm UA wide-angle 3.6x zoom lens. The PowerShot S60 camera is equipped with a redesigned 3.6x zoom lens that goes from a wide-angle focal length of 28mm to a telephoto of 100mm (35mm film equivalent).
