The first of the trio is the 14-megapixel SX150 IS which has a 12x optical zoom, 720P HD recording and manual settings that you can tweak to your heart's content. It also has a 3-inch LCD and is available in conservative black or red. The SX150 IS will go on sale in early September for a reasonable $250.
Next in line is the 12.1-megapixel PowerShot ELPH 310 HS which has an 8x optical zoom, a 3-inch LCD, 1080P HD recording and a colorful coating of paint (your choice of purple, blue, pink, green and silver). The 310 HS will set you back $260 when it arrives in October, just in time for the holidays.
Finally, we have the 12.1-megapixel PowerShot ELPH 510 HS (shown above). This is the thinnest Canon camera on the market. It has a 12x optical zoom, 1080P HD recording, and a roomy 3.2-inch touchscreen display that makes it easy to navigate the menu system. It'll also let you touch to focus on a part of your image. You'll have to drop $350 if you want to grab the ELPH 510 HS when it arrives in October.
The three new PowerShots also have the DIGIC 4 image processing engine, the image stabilization (SX150 IS) and low-light capabilities (310/510 HS) that characterize Canon's compact camera models. In other words, they're great cameras that'll outdo your smartphone, but won't put a dent in your wallet like a DSLR. [Canon]
