Canon has introduced a trio of PowerShot ELPHs, which will serve as the company's entry-level digital compact cameras.
First up is the PowerShot ELPH 360 HS, which features a 20.2MP BSI CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4+ processor, 25-300mm equivalent lens, 3" LCD, 1080/30p video recording and Wi-Fi with NFC. It will be available in your choice of silver and purple in February for $209.99.
Next is the PowerShot ELPH 190 IS, which uses a 20MP CCD and sports a 24-240mm equivalent lens, 3" LCD and Wi-Fi with NFC. Since it uses a CCD rather than a CMOS, video resolution tops out at 720p. The 190 IS will also ship in February in your choice of red, black, and blue for $159.99.
Finally there's the ELPH 180, which sits as Canon's bottom-end compact camera. It uses the same 20MP CCD as the ELPH 190 IS but has a 28-224mm equivalent lens without optical image stabilization. The ELPH 180 has a 2.7" LCD and 720p video recording. It comes in silver and red and will have an MSRP of only $119.99 when it ships next month.
