The new crop of A-series cameras fits such a bill, with the 12 megapixel, 4x zoom, optical image stabilized PowerShot A3100 IS in the &#8220;high end&#8221; at $180, followed by the 10 megapixel A3000 IS at $150; 10 megapixel, 3.3x zoom A495 at $130; and similarly specced A490 at $110. The differences between the A495 and A490 are muddled, outside of color choices and fewer scene selections. The Two A3000 cameras sports 2.7-inch screens and recharageable lithium-ion battery packs (a first for A-series cameras), with the A490 units going for 2.5-inches and trotting out the AAs. All four shooters should be out sometime in late February.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters\/\">Canon debuts A3100 IS, A3000 IS, A495 and A490 low-end shooters<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters\/2580298\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/20100105_lores_a3000is_3q_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters\/2580299\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/20100105_lores_a3000is_back_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters\/2580300\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/20100105_lores_a3000is_front_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters\/2580302\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/20100105_lores_a3100is_b_3q_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters\/2580301\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/20100105_lores_a3100is_r_3q_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/05\/canon-debuts-a3100-is-a3000-is-a495-and-a490-low-end-shooters\/\">Canon debuts A3100 IS, A3000 IS, A495 and A490 low-end shooters<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\">Engadget<\/a> on Tue, 05 Jan 2010 10:06:00 EST.
