The PowerShot A75 – combining a 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor and a 3x optical zoom lens -replaces the A70, a model highly acclaimed worldwide since its release in March 2003 for its high cost-performance. Inheriting the high-resolution CCD sensor and powerful zoom lens of the A70, the new PowerShot A75 boasts several design revisions that realize improved operability, including a new handgrip shape for enhanced shutter-button and zoom-lever control, and an enlarged 1.8″ LCD monitor for easy viewing of menu items and shot previews.

In addition to the Print/Share button and print-related functions also featured on Canon’s new IXY DIGITAL models, the PowerShot A75 offers a selection of six Special Scene modes which, featuring such settings as Beach and Snow, allow users to easily optimize camera settings to the shooting conditions.
