New PowerShot and IXUS available soon

If you were waiting to buy the new PowerShot G7, or any of the three IXUS cameras launched recently, well, you have to wait till mid-October. But at least you can start saving for it now.

Canon has announced at a local press launch the availability and prices of its latest lineup. At S$969 (US$712.50), the 10-megapixel PowerShot G7 isn't for everyone but targeted at enthusiasts who want to have manual controls on their shooter sans the bulk of a digital SLR.

Those who need their Titanium fix can opt for the IXUS 900 Ti which will cost S$769 (US$565.44) at launch. The other two IXUS--the 850 IS and i7 Zoom--will be priced at S$729 (US$536.03) and S$499 (US$366.91), respectively. All four cameras are slated to be available in stores from the second week of October.
