PMA 2008 Report
Canon updates its bestselling PowerShot range with an affordable new model: the Canon PowerShot A450 digital compact camera. Replacing the PowerShot A420, the entry-level Canon A450 camera adds improved specifications while retaining the point-and-shoot simplicity of its predecessors. Remarkably compact and lightweight, the Canon PowerShot A450 compact camera offers the superb build quality found throughout the PowerShot range. The new PowerShot A450 features a Movie mode for VGA quality clips with audio of up to 60 minutes in length or 1GB file size (whichever is reached first). Movies and photos can be viewed on a TV via the AV out connection. The availability of the Canon A450 depends on the region.
