THE BEST Canon

Today’s Canon camera onslaught ends with the PowerShot SD3500 IS; along with 14.1 MP and a 5x 24mm wide angle optical zoom lens, its main feature is a large 3.5″ LCD touchscreen.

It’s no DSLR, but Canon’s 14.1 MP PowerShot SX210 IS is their top-of-the-line point-and-shoot; it boasts an impressive 14x wide angle optical zoom lens, 720p video, and 3″ LCD.

Canon’s SD1400 IS is its slimmest Powershot camera ever with a thickness of just 0.7″; it features a 14.1 MP sensor, 28mm wide-angle lens with 4x optical zoom, and 720p @ 30fps video.

Step aside, T1i: the EOS Rebel T2i is Canon’s new flagship entry-level DSLR; it packs an 18MP APS-C sensor, 1080p video @ 30fps w/manual exposure, max 12800 ISO, and 3″ LCD.

Getting into Skywalker Ranch is cool enough, but this is no mere video: Philip Bloom gets invited by Rick McCallum and George Lucas to see how far he can push two Canon DSLRs.

Canon vs. Nikon becomes Capulet vs. Montague with Nikon Girl, a hilarious music video that recasts the classic feud of lens & bodies as Romeo & Juliet; warning: slightly NSFW.

Canon’s 16.1MP EOS-1D Mark IV boasts 102,400 ISO, but its strong suit is fast action, low-light shots with 10fps burst, two Digic 4s, 45-pt AF, and 1080p recording (sweet video here).

It ain’t full-frame, but Canon’s 18 MP EOS 7D is still a heavyweight: it packs 1080p video recording with manual exposure, 19-point AF system, magnesium body and dual DIGIC 4s.

Canon’s Powershot G11 addresses the high noise issues of the G10, albeit with a 10 MP sensor (down from 14 MP); it also adds a tilt/swivel LCD, HDMI out and RAW shooting.

The successor to their SX10 super zoom, Canon’s SX20 IS keeps the 20x wide-angle optical zoom but gets a 12.1 MP sensor, 16:9 720p HD video recording and HDMI out.

The EOS Rebel T1i is Canon’s newest prosumer DSLR, notable for a large 15.1″ MP sensor capable of shooting 720p 20fps video; also: ISO 3200 and a 3″ Live View LCD.

Shock, freeze and waterproof, Canon’s PowerShot D10 is just begging for an outdoor excursion; it includes a 12.1MP sensor, 3x optical zoom, swappable face plates and carabineer hook.

Ideal for consumers looking for DSLR-like abilities, the Canon Powershot SX200 features a 12.1 MP sensor, 12x optical zoom, 3″ LCD screen and 720p HD video recording.

Canon’s Powershot SX1 is their powerhouse ultrazoom, with a 10MP CMOS sensor, 20X optical zoom, manual focus, 2.8″ TFT LCD screen and HDMI output; it’ll be available 4/09.

Canon has dropped a slew of camcorders for 2009; at the top: the Vixia HF S10 packs an 8.59 MP CMOS sensor, 10x lens, HDMI out and 1920×1080 full HD recording at 24Mbps.

Although by no means a powerhouse, Canon’s 10 MP Powershot SD790 boasts excellent image quality, a vibrant 3″ screen and solid build quality; it looks pretty slick, too.

Canon’s EOS 5D Mk II not cutting it? Their XL H1S and H1A prosumer camcorders feature a 20x HD lens, manual zoom/focus, 60i/30F/24F frame options and DIGIC DV II.

PhotographyBLOG has a review up of our favorite not-quite a DSLR, the Canon Powershot G10. The verdict: it’s a winner, with a high quality 28-140mm lens, though ISO noise is a bit high.

Wanna kick your Canon 5D MKII or Nikon D90’s HD video recording up a notch? Redrock Micro is releasing a “Cinematizing Kit” that will add pro-level zoom + focus controls and a lens hood.

Canon’s SD880 IS is an update to their SD870; with 10 MP it’s not quite as powerful as the SD990, but its larger 3″ LCD and lower price point ensure this will be a top seller for Canon.

Canon’s G10 PowerShot is their latest high-end prosumer camera; not quite a DSLR, it still includes a 28mm wide-angle lens, 5x optical zoom, 14.7 MP and RAW mode shooting.

The Canon SD990 is the new top of the line ELPH, packing a massive 14.7 megapixels. You’ll also get 3.7x optical zoom, 1/1600s shutter speed, and the DIGIC 4 image processor.

Like the Olympus SP-565, Canon’s SX10 is ideal for shooting from afar, with a 20x optical zoom and image stabilization. This 10 MP camera also captures hi-res stills while shooting video.

Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II is a shot across the Nikon D90’s bow, as it also features full HD recording; it’s packed to the gills, with 21.1 MP, a full-frame CMOS sensor and max 25.6k ISO.

Canon’s EOS 50D prosumer DSLR camera is now official, with 15.1 megapixels, Digic 4 processor and max ISO of 12,800. The latter hopefully bodes well for noise reduction.
