Canon has dropped four new compact digital cameras today, including a new 7 megapixel compact that costs just £109.

The A470 is one of three new models in Canon’s new PowerShot line-up, and has a 7.1 megapixel sensor with 3.4x optical zoom and face-detection technology. It has a range of shooting modes, including Manual, and an ISO range of 80 to 1600. It’s remarkably well-specified for a budget compact, but Canon’s generosity doesn’t end there…

Canon announced its 2008 camcorder line up this morning - there are nine new models that offer a mix of SD and HD recording, with a mix of tape, DVD and solid-state storage.

The entry-level MD205 and MD235 MiniDV SD camcorders use Canon's new Advanced Zoom that combines a genuine Canon video lens with the DIGIC DV processor to a give a digital zoom range of up to 45x. Prices start from around £190 for the MD205 and £220 for the MD235.

MD Series key features:

• 1/6" Interlaced CCD with DIGIC DV image processor
• Optical zoom 32x (MD205), 37x (MD235)
• Sub one second power-up
• LCD Video Light for filming close-up in poorly lit environments
• MD205 total pixels 800,000 (540,000 effective)
• MD235 total pixels 1.07 (710,000 effective)
• MD205 size: 68 x 82 x 127mm; weight: 380g

Available: February 2008

Details on the rest of the new line-up after the cut.

There are more new cameras from Canon today – its just announced the Digital IXUS 85 IS, IXUS 90 IS and IXUS 970 IS. The IXUS 85 IS and IXUS 90 are both 10-megapixel compact cameras with optical image stabilisation, face detection and a whole host of other clever features that constitute a digital camera in this modern age.

The IXUS 90 IS also has “exquisitely engineered angles”, though Canon doesn’t state what they are. We’re guessing the ever-popular ‘90 degrees’ features extensively, though.

Canon's revealed a new addition to its long line of portable inkjets. The PIXMA iP100 updates the current iP90v, bringing with it the promise of finer prints and bolder blacks.

You could always wait till you get home but if your just have to have prints while out and about, Canon's new Selphy CP770 may be just the ticket. Launched alongside the cheaper but deskboud CP760, it is, to put it bluntly, a photo-lab-quality printer in a bucket.
