Canon loves to release a bazillion products in one day. Today they’ve announced a bunch of cameras that cover the gamut of shooting habits.
Three new cameras will be added to the Digital ELPH line. The SD900 shoots at 10MP, has a titanium body, zooms to 3x optical and supports those new 4GB SDHC cards–it sells for $500. The SD800 IS has 7.1MP, optical image stabilization and ISO 1600. It also features a 3.8x wide range zoom lens–it sells for $400. Rounding out its new ELPHs is the PowerShot SD40 Digital ELPH. It is the smallest of the bunch, measuring .94-inches and weighing 3.7-ounces. It too has a 7.1MP CCD, but it has only a 2.4x optical zoom. It will sell for $350.
Lastly, Canon will add the G7 to its PowerShot line. The G7 has 10MP and an f/2.8-4.8 6x optical zoom lens. It is capable of ISO 3200 in its special scene mode and has advanced noise reduction. It also features the new DIGIC III chip. The G7 will sell for $600.

Damn it!
I have been looking for a digital camera for about 3 months now and I was pretty close to settling for a SD700 IS. Now I have more to chose from. The only things I felt the SD700 IS was lacking was the good low light shooting quality of the fuji f30 and DivX movies. Then again this announcment might bring down the price of the SD700 IS.
