For years, Canon has produced some of the best known and best quality cameras in the industry. The Canon Powershot is the next generation of handheld digital cameras and has evolved considerably since its debut. It is now an entire series that carries products for every customer from beginner to advance.

The point and shoot digital camera is the perfect companion to capture memories on the go. It is extremely portable as it fits easily in pockets or purses. Within this genre of camera, there are many variations depending on the skill level and preferences of the customer. However, this type tends to be a favorite among those casual photo takers that do not need a professional tool.

The A series sets forth over two dozen models of the point and shoot. The specifics of each individual camera can be perused on Canon's website. Designed to be straightforward and easy to use, they still produce high quality images. The sixteen megapixel image sensor aids in this. The automatic setting also helps, knowing how to adjust for thirty-two different shooting environments. It also captures 720pixel HD video.

The next step up is the ELPH series. For users that are familiar with the technical aspects of photography, these provide all of the portability of a point and shoot with a touch of creative freedom. The ability to shoot in full manual mode and add such effects as selective color, advanced users will appreciate these features. Like their counterpart, the devices shoot HD video and have a 10.1 megapixel image sensor.

The Powershot G series takes it even further, keeping its portable size while allowing for even more control and flexibility. The zoom feature has been dramatically enhanced and the lens is more versatile than the preceding models. For example, the G1X model has almost as many features as a full function DSLR. This sets it apart from other point and shoots that are on the market today. All products in this series also capture HD video as well.

The SX series brings in several top of the line models. The lenses are not interchangeable in this model but it does feature many of the functions of a DSLR camera. For example, the body is very similar and the photographer can shoot in several settings (including but not limited to automatic, manual, shutter speed/aperture control). Canon also brings in a unique feature here. The most involved models feature high powered optical zooms ranging from twenty to fifty times--the first time such powerful zoom has been available on this type of product.

There is also one model in the D series. Geared towards intense environments, it is waterproof, temperature resistant, and shockproof. Capture stills or video in outdoor, adventurous situations. It is much less vulnerable to the elements than other expensive cameras. Athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and nature lovers will enjoy this model.

For beginners looking for high quality point and shoots to capture all of life's little moments, this line holds the answer. Likewise, advanced users that want the ability to manipulate their images can also be satisfied. In fact, any customer in between can find the right camera as well. The Canon Powershot line is full of high quality and functional cameras.
