It´s finally here
Well, we were right about them not continuing with the current A470 type of camera, wrong about the model number.
Specs
10mp
3.3x Zoom
2.5″ LCD
DIGIC III
Simplified Layout
Various Colors (Silver, Red, Blue, Black)
Motion Detection Technology
30fps VGA Movies with long play mode
15 Shooting Modes

This looks like an intelligent $100 camera for our cheap grandparents and for our hapless teenage children. Good upgrade.

Oh wow it is 10mp! Then it must be really good, hehe…
For compact cameras, one needs to look at Panasonic for innovation. When it comes to DSLR and lenses, it’s Nikon. Canon is nowhere to be found.
I think Canon is following the motto, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But that isn’t going to help them keep their lead. However, if they do come out with a decent waterproof point & shoot it will probably sell well considering the competition doesn’t have very good image quality, and Canon compacts usually lead in that area.
doubt canon will produce waterproof p&s…. they already have dive cases for most of theirs which work great and generate extra revenue so why throw that away…. I have an SD850IS with the dive case and its been fantastic for snorkeling and skin diving at the springs and down in the keys (Im in north FL).
i want some design like nikon s10
