The SD14 from Sigma boasts many improvements over the SD10.
As the model number would suggest, capture resolution is up from 10 to 14 megapixels, but there’s a lot more to the SD14 than a simple boost in image resolution.

If it??™s true that you can??™t tell a book by its cover, then the diminutive Canon Powershot SD900 just seems too small and compact to be packing a 10 megapixel wallop. But large file size is only part of the story for a little camera that produces excellent images and color right out of the box.
Actually, the cover is pretty cool on its own ??“ the SD900 case is titanium, with its medium grey sheen complemented nicely by bright chrome and flat black accents. Build quality, fit and finish appear first-rate. The camera features a 2.5??? LCD monitor and an optical viewfinder, a 10 megapixel sensor and 3X optical Canon zoom lens that provides a 35mm film equivalent focal length range of 37 to 111 mm. Canon claims the DIGIC III image processor provides improved image quality, speed of operation and battery performance over earlier processors.

A few years back Canon??™s design team responded to a major challenge; create a basic, inexpensive, easy to use, high performance digital camera that would appeal to a broad market demographic. The result was Canon??™s ???A??? series; a group of digicams that adopted features and technology from Canon??™s upscale ???S??? and ???G??? series models and packaged them in a practical and rather dowdy uni-body. ???A??? series digital cameras have provided very good performance, superb ergonomics, best-in-class functionality and usability, tough as nails durability, and reliably excellent image quality since the introduction of the groundbreaking little A20 in 2001. The new A710 IS is the first ???A??? model to feature optical image stabilization (OIS).

Canon Pixma iP8500 Printer
Canon has never been a company to sit back on their laurels when they have a really great product. So I was interested when I heard that they had upgraded their line of inkjet photo printers and now offered eight-color printing on some models. Since I had been really happy with the results I had been getting from their six-color printers I really wondered just how much better it was possible for the new printers to be.
