Canon Updates its PowerShot Camera Lineup for CES 2016, More Info: B&H

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - January 05, 2016) - B&H Photo would like to share the announcement of Canon's latest PowerShot lineup, with the release of the PowerShot SX540 HS, PowerShot SX420 IS, PowerShot ELPH 360 HS, PowerShot ELPH 190 IS, and PowerShot ELPH 180 Digital Cameras.

Keeping the same long-range 50x optical zoom range of its predecessor, the Canon PowerShot SX540 HS ups the ante with a new 20.3MP 1/2.3" High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor and the use of the DIGIC 6 processor. This results in higher-resolution shooting and lower noise at high ISOs, as well as a fast continuous shooting rate. Video also gets a bump with the ability to record Full HD video at 60p in addition to 30p.
