The last time we saw something similar from Canon is with the PowerShot D10 many years ago. Today Canon announced the successor to that rugged line-up — the Canon PowerShot D20.
The previous Canon D10 was announced way back in 2009 so we’re a bit curious why it took this long for them to out a newer model.
Canon Powershot D20 specs:
12MP CMOS sensor
DIGIC 4 chip
28-140mm equivalent
5x optical zoom
1080p video
Image stabilization
built-in GPS
3-inch LCD
This rugged point-and-shoot camera got a complete redesign with a smaller and slimmer profile with an odd shape.
The Canon D20 is waterproof up to 33 feet, shockproof up to 5 feet, tolerant to temperatures between 14 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
Canon promises the Canon D20 will be available in May for about $350.
Hello Sir Abe, Any word on when will the D20 will be released here in the Philippines? Thanks!
I hope this will be better than the D10. My friend had one but it kept on malfunctioning. A review would really be great and maybe a comparison with Lumix TS3 which is I think the best value waterproof camera in the market.
a Digic 4?
I agree, it took them so long to come up with a new version. Actually wanted to get the D10 version but thinking that a new version will probably come out I waited for a while. Then finally, I decided to get a different brand. I had a friend who use the D10 for videos while swimming with the whale sharks in Donsol. The UW videos were so great that’s why I waited for the new version. Yuga, hope you could do a review on this product. Probably, do underwater test shots in Boracay.
