I almost had a happy heart attack earlier today when I read that Canon has announced five new point-and-shoot cameras. Based on the name of two (Powershot A610 and A620<\/a>) and the fact that they both feature a flip-out LCD, I originally thought they had granted my wish and combined the features of the A95<\/a> with the A520<\/a>. I was wrong. The A610 & A620 are just upgraded A95s with additional pixels (in fact, the only difference between the two is the A610 is 5-megapixels and the A620 is 7-megapixels). <\/p>\n

I don’t get why Canon named them the way they did. Logically speaking, a camera in the 600’s would be an upgrade to the 500’s, namely the A520, but what do I know?<\/p>\n

Anyway, the new cameras still take 4 batteries, and I don’t understand why. What could possibly require the additional power from two batteries that add more weight and size to the camera? <\/p>\n

Damn, you should have seen how excited I was too! I had been waiting for Canon to announce something new since they often do sometime in the fall. I doubt they’ll be releasing any additional cameras before our trip in two months, so it’s time to make a final decision. Now I’m stuck between the A610 or the A520. I really like that flip-out screen, but I hate that the new camera will be larger and heavier than the little Nikon I have now. <\/p>\n

It’s a quandary having to choose between a new toy that I really don’t need, I know. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
