Canon PowerShot Elph 510 HS Camera
If any camera was going to dispel the notion of "bigger camera = more zoom," this is it. The Canon PowerShot Elph 510 HS Camera ($350) turns convention on its head by cramming a 28mm wide-angle, 12x optical zoom lens into the thinnest space ever, and also offers up features like an Intelligent IS stabilization system, a Smart AUTO mode for easier operation, a 12.1-megapixel, high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor, a 7.8 fps burst mode, 1080p Full HD video capture, and a 3.2-inch wide, touch-panel LCD for reviewing all those great shots.
