Descriptions : PowerShot A520, big brother to the recently released PowerShot A510. Announced today, the super compact 4.0 Megapixel PowerShot is smaller than many 3x zoom cameras and features 20 shooting modes, VGA movies, a powerful zoom flash, extended direct print functions, plus an optional waterproof case and adaptor lenses. The PowerShot A520’s 4x zoom lens uses Canon’s Glass Moulded Optics (Gmo) lens technology to deliver uncompromising, high clarity image quality at a fraction the size of conventional lenses. Extending reach at the telephoto end, the powerful 35-140mm (35mm equivalent) f/2.6-5.5 zoom lens also features a new rear-focus system for more efficient focus that limits power consumption. A redesigned flash unit, optical viewfinder, and a move from Compact Flash to SD memory card also contribute to a lighter, more elegant and compact body. For maximum versatility and ease of use, Canon has given the A520 a total of 20 shooting modes. These include eight 'Special Scene' modes which help produce stunning results in difficult lighting conditions by optimizing the camera's white balance, exposure and other settings for specific shooting situations. Scene modes include 'fireworks', 'foliage', 'beach', 'snow', 'underwater' (for use with the camera’s optional 40m depth case) ‘kids and pets?and ‘night snapshot?

When the shutter button is pressed again, the camera returns to shooting. Ease of use increases with an improved, simple and more intuitive button layout.
