Canon Europe announced today the release of a new addition to its line of  compact cameras: The 10-megapixel PowerShot A480, slated for release in February.

The camera is equipped with the DIGIC III image processor and a 3.3x optical zoom lens. It’s got a 2.5” LCD screeen, 15 shooting modes–including “Kids & Pets” mode–as well as the ability to shoot macro shots from as close as 1 cm away from your subjects.

The camera also records VGA video at 30 fps, features auto red-eye correction and has “Motion Detection Technology” that automatically adjusts the camera’s ISO to minimize blur.

The PowerShot A480 will retail for £129 (about $188 USD).
