| Canon PowerShot
A40 Kit includes: Wrist Strap, (4) AA alkaline
batteries, USB & Video Cables, Canon Software,
The PowerShot A40 has a
2.0 megapixel CCD sensor while the PowerShot A30 features a 1.2 megapixel
CCD. Both camera's incorporate a 3x optical zoom lens and offer features and
image quality normally found in more expensive models, such as movie mode
(with sound on the A40); a shutter speed range of 15 seconds to 1/1500
second; manual exposure; spot metering; selectable ISO settings from 50 to
400; built-in flash with 5 modes and magnified playback up to 10x for
convenient image review.
The new PowerShot A40 and A30 cameras are designed to provide users of
digital cameras with easy and enhanced functionality by offering high image
quality, advanced features with comfortable operation, and easy to use
software for greater enjoyment.
Aside from the difference in their CCD sensors (A40 is 2.0 MP/ A30 is
1.2MP), the cameras include several new features not found on previous
mid-range PowerShot camera models including a selectable 3-point AiAF system
with single-point center focus and focus lock; a wider shutter speed range
of 15 seconds to 1/1500 second; Evaluative and Spot Metering; ISO ranges
including 50/100/200/400 and Auto; Movie mode (with sound on the A40); Photo
Effect mode; 2x-10x enlarged playback function with scrolling; and Direct
Print capabilities with Canon's new CP-100 printer as well as the current
CP-10.
The PowerShot A40 and A30 cameras are equipped with a 5.4-16.2mm f/2.8-4.8
(equivalent to 35-105mm in 35mm format) 3x zoom lens which is ideal for a
wide range of picture-taking situations from landscapes to portraits. The
all-glass lens is designed using 9 elements in 7 groups, including one
highly-refractive, glass-molded aspherical element. The aspherical element
effectively suppresses distortion and provides high resolution.
The PowerShot A40 and A30 are powered by four AA-size batteries (PowerShot
A100 uses two AA batteries) which are relatively inexpensive and much more
readily available when compared to other batteries, making their replacement
more economical and convenient.
Waterproof Case WP-DC200s is a popular optional accessory for the PowerShot
A40 and A30, with a depth rating of 100 ft. for scuba diving. The WP-DC200s
is also an excellent choice for photographing outdoor sports such as snow
skiing, water skiing, and whitewater rafting. Other A40/A30 accessories
include Wide Converter WC-DC52, 52mm Close-up Lens 250D, the new
Tele-Converter TC-DC52, and Lens Conversion Adapter LA-DC52B which is used
to mount these supplementary lenses to the cameras with a sturdy bayonet
fitting. |
