Canon PowerShot A610

Higher resolution at a lower price.
The surprising PowerShot A610 offers many features you'd expect to find only on higher end models. For example, there's a 5.0 Megapixel CCD that lets you print large, richly detailed prints. Just as importantly, this camera is equipped with a complete range of advanced functions that make shooting relaxed and simple - whether you're a novice or a pro.

Experience the quality
Within its sleek body, the PowerShot A610 has all the top-quality Canon features that make your pictures really stand out. There's the 5.0 Megapixel CCD that reveals even tiny details in crisp, clear color - both on your screen and in your prints. Even tight close-ups are super easy thanks to the longer, retractable 4x Optical Zoom.

This LCD Monitor Does the Twist
The PowerShot A610 has a big 2.0 inch LCD screen with an astonishing 115,000 pixels of resolution. So whether you're setting up your shot or playing it back, everything is bright and clear. The vari-angle design lets you swivel the LCD screen 180° to the front of the camera and display either a mirror image or a non-reversed image so you can shoot from just about any position.

Capture the moment in any situation
The PowerShot A610's cleanly integrated grip gives you a comfortable, steady hold. And you can count on exact focus no matter where your subject is in the frame. Plus, you've also got Special Scene Mode that gives you breathtaking, exhilarating pictures even when shooting conditions are tough.

Canon Technology Maximizes Quality and Performance
The PowerShot A610 is powered by Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor. Designed to improve processing speed and image quality, DIGIC II provides markedly faster camera startup, autofocus and playback, plus it assures that every image is more colorfully vibrant.

Shoot high-quality movies
Now A610 enables you to record QVGA (320 x 240), 60 fps movies up to 1 minute. PowerShot A610 also supports the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard, so you'll enjoy the highest possible data transfer speeds when using a USB 2.0 compatible computer. The camera's performance level is high enough to take full advantage of super-high-speed SD memory cards as well.

A variety of accessories to take a better shot
The PowerShot A610 lets you add value and take your photography even further with optional accessories. Wide Converter and Tele Converter lenses prepare you for capturing any shot perfectly while a High-Power Flash doubles your flash range for pro-level illumination.
Note: When using the converter lenses, we recommend using the LCD screen to preview composition and refraining from the use of the built-in flash to avoid harsh shadows in the resulting photos.
