PowerShot S230 3.2MP Digital ELPH...
With the Canon PowerShot S230, you've
got the best of both worlds--the compact size and high style of the digital
Elph series plus the higher resolution of a 3-megapixel camera. Updating
the popular 2-megapixel PowerShot S200, the PowerShot S230 also features
a 2x optical zoom, an improved 3.2x digital zoom, movie mode for videos
up to 3 minutes, and more--all in a stylish, compact package.
Optics and Resolution
Featuring a 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor,
the PowerShot S230 delivers a wide range of detail and color (with images
up to 2048 x 1536 pixels) and prints up to 11 by 14 inches. Canon's high-quality
2x optical zoom lens allows you to close in on the action, while the 3.2x
digital zoom allows for a combined 6.4x zoom, letting you capture intimate
details that might have been missed with another camera. The PowerShot
S230 is also one of the few digital cameras to feature wide-area nine-point
autofocus for taking crisp, sharp images no matter where the subject appears
in the image frame.
Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on CompactFlash
memory cards, and a 16 MB card is included. When shooting images at the
medium or fine setting, the 16 MB card will store approximately 26 images.
Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB storage-class connectivity,
which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and
Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.
Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos,
the S230 can also record movie clips of up to 3 minutes. You can choose
from three different video formats: 160 x 120, 320 x 240, or 640 x 480
pixels. Both picture and sound quality have been improved, and an editing
feature allows you to delete unwanted scenes during playback. The S230's
photo-effect mode lets you do more with your still images. Choose from
low sharpening, vivid color, sepia, neutral, and black and white.
More Features
Though it's primarily designed as
a point-and-shoot, the S230 includes several advanced features for photographers
who want more creative control, including exposure compensation, low-light
manual shutter speeds, manual ISO and white balance, and stitch assist,
plus black-and-white, sepia, vivid, and neutral modes.

Olympus C-750 4MP Digital Camera
w/ 10x Optical Zoom
Point and shoot ease and full manual
controls, the Olympus Camedia C-750 delivers sharp, crisp 4.0-megapixel
images for print enlargements beyond 11 x 14 inches. The C-750 features
a more compact body than its predecessor (the C-730), a new extra-low dispersion
(ED) lens, movie mode, a built-in flash, and compatibility with XD memory
cards. It also improves on the new C-740 with more megapixels (4.0 versus
the 3.2 of the C-740), a 40x total zoom (10x optical and 4x digital zoom),
addition of a hot shoe for external flash, an all metal body, and sound
recording with movie mode.
Optics and Resolution
The 4.0-megapixel Olympus C-750
digital camera can capture images up to 2288 x 1712 pixels; it can also
produce 3200 x 2400 pixel images through interpolation for extra-large
prints. It boasts an outstanding Olympus aspherical glass 10x zoom lens
with 11 lenses in 7 groups. When combined with the 4x digital zoom, you
get a total zoom of 40x. The F2.8-F3.7 lens has a focal range of 6.3-63mm,
or 38–380mm equivalent in 35mm photography. The ED coating on the lens
helps reduce the purple fringing normally seen on larger zoom cameras.
The C-750 also features Olympus
TruePic technology, which optimizes the image information captured on the
CCD before the data is saved by using the brightness and color information
of the neighboring pixels when processing the pixel data. This leads to
digital pictures that set standards for picture sharpness, contrast, true
colors, and gradation.
Storage and Transfer
With the C-750, you can store images
on XD memory cards. With the included 16 MB XD card, you can store 16 images
at HQ mode (2288 x 1712 pixels). Images can be downloaded to either a Mac
or PC via USB connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based
Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing
any software.
Movie Mode
In movie mode, the C-750 captures
continuous video (with audio) at 15 frames per second in two formats: 320
x 240 (up to 16 seconds) or 160 x 120 pixels (up to 30 seconds). The QuickTime
Motion JPEG format offers a limited resolution, which is great for capturing
a short movie that can be e-mailed to friends and family, but is no replacement
for a true camcorder.
