For any friends/family/clients who are looking at getting a new point and shoot camera….Canon just released a couple new point and shoot cameras that do some interesting things and I thought I would pass along some info. The big news for these two new cameras is that they shoot HD video. This is a huge trend in the industry and Canon really seems to be leading the charge on HD video in consumer cameras.
Both of these cameras shoot video in 720p HD video, basically that is slighty less resolution than your average HD program on TV. (Most HD Tv programs are in 1080i and blu-ray is the best at 1080p)
Think of it this way 720 < 1080i < 1080p in terms of quality. So if your looking for a compact camera that can take great photos and capture some decent quality video, these two might be worth checking out.
