Announced on May 13, ’96

Canon will release the “PowerShot 600” ultra-high-definition digital camera equipped with a 570,000-pixel CCD from early July.
The PowerShot 600 is compatible with PCMCIA TYPE2 / 3 as a recording medium, and you can select a PC card with ATA specifications according to the application, and you can shoot up to about 5,500 images.
Since the card is ATA standard and the image file format is JPEG, it can be read as it is by setting it in a laptop computer or the like.
The standard image resolution is 832 x 608, and 640 x 480 and 320 x 240 dots can also be selected. Furthermore, depending on the compression rate, the image quality can be selected from three levels: fine, normal, and economy. The price is 128,000 yen, which is a little high for a popular model, but it is very excellent in terms of specifications, and it is the appearance of a digital camera that can not be tested. The Windows version of the software is only compatible with DOS / V, and support for Windows for PC98 is scheduled for October.
