If you’re looking for a new camera, you might want to keep an eye out for three new image-stabilized point-and-shoots that Canon just released. Say hello to the Powershot SD 890 IS, SD 790 IS and SD770 IS.

Here’s a look at what each camera has to offer.

 

Canon PowerShot SD890 IS

The 10-megapixel SD890 IS has a 5x optical zoom–the longest of any camera in Canon’s ELPH cameras. The SD890 IS has a 2.5-inch, 230,000-dot LCD screen and an optical viewfinder. It’s got a maximum aperture of f/3.2 at the widest zoom setting and f/5.7 zoomed all the way in.

It’s got ISO settings ranging from 80-1600, continuous shooting at 1.2 frames per second, and aside from automatic, movie and manual modes, it’s got nearly 20 special scene modes. The SD890 IS uses Canon’s DIGIC III Image Processor and also has an Optical Image Stabilizer to reduce blur.

The SD 890 IS has a list price of $349.99.

Canon PowerShot SD790 IS

The 10-megapixel SD790 IS has a 3x optical zoom and a 4x digital zoom and a 3-inch, 230,000 dot LCD screen. Canon makes a point of mentioning this camera’s sleek style (“chiseled edges with a subtle gleam”) and its compact size (“smaller than a deck of playing cards”).

Its aperture widens all the way to f/2.8 when zoomed out and narrows to f/4.9 when zoomed in. Continuous shooting is at 1.4 frames per second, and you can kick the ISO all the way up to 1600 and like the SD 890 IS, it has an ISO 3200 shooting mode. It also has 16 other “Special Scene” modes, as well as automatic mode, manual mode and movie mode.

The SD790 IS has a list price of $249.99

Canon PowerShot SD770 IS

Canon calls the SD770 IS a “sleek, slim head turner.” It’s a 10-megapixel camera, and like the SD 790 IS, it’s got 3x zoom with f/2.8 zoomed out and f/4.9 zoomed in, and it has Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer. Continuous shooting is at 1.4 frames per second and the camera has 19 still shooting modes and movie mode.

This one’s slimmer than the above-mentioned ELPHS and can handle up to 300 shots in a single outing in spite of its thin battery. It’s got a 2.5 inch screen

The SD770 IS has a list price of $229.99.
