Canon is revamping its PowerShot range of compact digital still cameras and adding a new leader - the A640 - with a 10 Megapixel image sensor, a 4x optical zoom and a 2.5in LCD. This black-finished model is due in September at a suggested price of £329 (inc VAT) and will be arriving with two silver-finished companions, the A630 and A710 IS.
The 8 Megapixel A630 (£269) replaces the 5 Megapixel A610 and is in effect, a lower-res version of the A640. In contast, the 7.1 Megapixel A710 IS (£289) - a replacement for 6 Megapixel A700 - has a longer optical zoom, 6x, and offers a feature that neither of the other newcomers provides, an optical image stabiliser.
