Canon USA is launching two new high-end PowerShot models, the 8MP 12x-zoom capable S5 IS and the ultra compact 8MP 4x zoom SD850 IS. Both models feature Image Stabilization (the IS badge after their name), face recognition AF and in-camera red-eye reduction.
The S5 IS is one of Canon’s bridge models, aimed at the prosumer enthusiast, and is styled like a small DSLR. It has an impressive 36-432 (35mm equivalent) focal length, 2.5in swivel LCD screen to frame the shots, push 1600 ISO mode for low-light photography, high quality widescreen 30fps movie mode, and uses SD cards for storage (32MB included). It has a retail price of $499.99 and will be available in July.

The SD850 IS Digital Elph packs a punch in a sleek compact design. It comes with a UA lens, a high-refractive element that according to Canon enhances picture quality while reducing lens size, features 35-140 (35mm equivalent) focal length, 2.5in LCD screen, 1600 ISO mode for low-light shooting conditions, widescreen 30fps VGA movie mode, and uses SD cards for storage (32MB included). It has a retail price of $399.99 and will be available in June.
