Canon launches 14 new products at PMA trade show

At the Photo Marketing Association trade show in Orlando, FL, Canon will be introducing some exciting new products, including:

The updated EOS Digital Rebel® XT (EOS 350D)

Two new PowerShot® Digital ELPH® cameras (the SD 400 and SD500)

One  new ZR (model #400) and two new Optura (the 50 and 60) camcorders (featuring a new high-resolution 16:9 Widescreen video recording mode and the Print and Share function, allowing direct printing to select Canon brand or PictBridge photo printers)

A new Macro EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM lens (designed especially for the two Digital Rebel cameras and the EOS 20D SLR)

An improved Wireless Controller called the  LC-5 (offering photographers the flexibility of not only controlling the shutter release, but also other essential camera functions up to a line-of-sight distance of 330 feet--perfect for using with the new EF-S 60mm Macro USM lens!).

The new Compact Photo Printer SELPHY CP600 (replacing the CP330), features high resolution, 300 X 300 dpi output, increased printing speed, newly improved image processing using Canon's DIGIC II technology, and also supports four print sizes and is compatibale with IrDA-equipped camera phones that use the IrOBEX "vNote" protocol for image transfer.

For those fortunate enough to be able to attend, you can find Canon at booth #3503 at the Photo Marketing Association trade show from Feb. 20-23.
