Canon Days Kicks Off At Roberts

Canon Days has started here at Roberts, and the first specials up on the site are for the Rebel XSi with an 18-55 IS and 55-250mm IS lens, the 7D finds itself shipping with a free Canon 200DG Gadget Bag, PowerShot G10s make a brief reappearance, and the PowerShot A480 is at a very friendly new low price. I think next up we have some more camcorders…

Oh, and tomorrow we’ll have a nice little bonus for Canon week: A hands-on review of the new PowerShot S90 by none other than Carel Struycken. So, keep your eyes tuned here, and to our home page. This’ll be a nice week for stocking up on Canon gear…

Canon A480 images
You are looking at the new Canon Powershot A480 camera. It sports 10 megapixel resolution, 3.3x (37mm-122mm equivalent) optical zoom, large 2.5 LCD screen and many other features you wouldn’t normally expect to find on a camera costing less than $130.00.
I’m a macro photography fan. I like to see the tiny worlds that are always just under our feet or inches away from our fingers but go unnoticed.  Well here is an inexpensive camera that will let me do just that. Canon lenses always offer sharp images and the Super Macro mode lets the user get in to 0.4 inches or 1cm for you metrics. That right less than half an inch from your tiny treasure.  Other features on this bargain Betty, SD memory cards and the new SDHC’s, Custom settable white balance, and ISO range up to 1600.
