The Canon PowerShot A10 Digital Camera

Canon PowerShot A10 Digital CameraHigh Quality Images
To make sure your transition to the world of digital photography is a clear one, the Canon PowerShot A10 delivers enough definition to satisfy the most discerning eye. The A10's 1.3 megapixel CCD is augmented by a primary color filter and adaptive signal processing. What does that mean? It means that this camera will capture every detail of all your adventures with a clarity and brilliance that will amaze you.

3x Optical Zoom
Far out shots are within your reach! The PowerShot A10's fully automatic 3x optical zoom lens allows you to frame the perfect shot-from portrait to landscape-with the touch of a button. And if that isn't enough, the A10's 2x digital zoom will bring your closer still.

Powerful Built-In Flash System
Now you don't have to be afraid of the dark. The flash unit built into the PowerShot A10 provides the highest light output in its class! Extending your flash range to 13.8 feet at the wide-angle setting, the flash also features a red-eye reduction lamp to keep your baby blues from seeing red.

Ease Of Operation
The simplicity of the PowerShot A10's design makes it almost impossible to take a bad shot. In addition to automatically determining shutter speed and exposure, the A10 employs a three-point auto focus system that will eliminate fuzzy faces from your photos forever. And if you're not clear on the best shot, just keep clicking away-the A10's short shutter interval of 1.7 seconds in single frame mode or the optional continuous shooting rate of up to 2.5 frames per second allow you to capture the action from every angle quickly and efficiently.

Continuous Power
Never say die! The Canon PowerShot A10 is never short on power, accepting AA-size alkaline batteries that you can find anywhere in the world. For economy-minded users, the optional AA Ni-MH Battery Set NB4-100 and the Battery and Charger Kit CBK-100 are the perfect tools for keeping your included AA Ni-MH batteries fully juiced so you never miss a shot. In addition, a new LED backlight and an energy-efficient digital signal processing IC consume far less power than previous designs. The PowerShot A10 can capture up to 500 images using alkaline batteries or even an incredible 1000 images with Ni-MH batteries.

Superb Value
Despite an affordable price tag, the PowerShot A10 has several features normally associated with higher-end modes: shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/1500 of a second; high-precision white balance ensuring optimum color temperature; and nine image quality modes that enable users to choose the level of definition that best meets their needs. The A10 may be affordable, but you'd never call them "cheap".

The Digital Difference
Store up to 87 images in your camera with the supplied 8 MB CompactFlash Memory Card and then take advantage of the easy-to-use USB interface to connect the camera to your Macintosh or PC computer to display your images on screen, create dramatic panoramic images or arrange an onscreen slide show, all with the software that is bundled with your A10, including ZoomBrowser EX 2.6 (ImageBrowser 1.6 for Mac users) and PhotoStitch 3.1.

Waterproof Housing
Into every life, a little rain must fall, so the A10 support a specially designed waterproof case. Not only protecting you and your precious pictures from unwelcome precipitation and the occasional splash at the beach, for the truly adventurous, this incredible enclosure allows you to snap candids as deep as 100 feet underwater - perfect for the scuba-diving shutterbug!
