Canon Digital ELPH SD970, SD960 SD780 and SD1200 Point-and-Shoots Look Pretty, Feel Nice

Most point-and-shoots have extremely similar feature sets now, whoever they’re from—smile, booger and blink detection; image stabilisation and other boingos you never use. So Canon’s choice to focus on look-and-feel stands out—and pays off.

Canon SX200 Point-and-Shoot Looks Classy, Has 12x Zoom Wide-Angle Lens

Aesthetically speaking, Canon’s SX200 pro point-and-shoot is my second favourite camera of the bunch, after the shockproof Cold-War-and-candy inspired D10. It just looks so classy, and it’s got a 12x zoom, 28mm wide-angle lens.

Canon SX1 20x Superzoom Has 10MP CMOS Sensor, Shoots 1080p Video

A superzoom camera that makes sense to me. The SX1 eschews a crazy megapixel count with its 10MP CMOS sensor that pulls double duty delivering 1080p HD video recording with a 20x-wide angle zoom lens.

Canon D10 Water, Shock and Freeze Proof Camera Is Lovechild of Submarine and Bondi Blue iMac

While all of Canon’s new point-and-shoots look yummy, the shockproof D10 is my absolute favourite: It looks like the streamlined retro-future lovechild of a submarine and an original Bondi blue iMac.

Gizmodo AU

Even though Pioneer is breaking up with the plasma TV business, they want you to know that they’ll still be around to look after the kids (in this case, your Kuro panel) at least while the warranty is still valid.
