The PowerShot A80 is the new flagship of the PowerShot A-series line-up, which also includes the A60, A70, and A300. The new model is also the first PowerShot to support PictBridge, the new standard for high-quality direct printing. Packed with features to put creativity back into the hands of the photographer, the PowerShot A80 brings together a newly designed 3x optical zoom with fast f/2.8 aperture, a 270° Vari-angle LCD monitor and 9-point AiAF (Artificial intelligence Automatic Focus). The 4.0 Megapixel CCD sensor is the same as that found in Canon's highly reviewed Digital IXUS 400 and PowerShot S45 models. Each of the individual pixels is almost 50% larger than in the PowerShot A70 enabling the camera to provide superb image quality that is suited to photo prints up to A3 in size.
