This is the PowerShot A20 and PowerShot A10, the digital cameras for those of us who would rather learn to surf or mountain bike or scuba dive than to master the intricacies of digital technology.
Get Digital With It:
The Fun-loving
PowerShot A20 & A10
3x Optical Zoom
Either camera fits right into your lifestyle, and right into your pocket. They’re compact, light­weight and rugged for go-anywhere fun. Their simple, easy-to-understand controls help you get the best shot under every set of conditions, but they’ll never get in your way or confuse you.
Brilliant images, rich with color and detail, reward both the beginner’s eye and the more advanced photographer’s demands, thanks to the A20’s 2.1 megapixel CCD and the A10’s 1.3 megapixel CCD. Canon’s world-renowned optics are represented in the sharpness and clarity of the 3x optical zoom lens (the A20’s 2.5x digital zoom and the A10’s 2x digital zoom let you move in even closer). And from focus to flash, the A20’s and A10’s operations are automatic, so you can concentrate on capturing the moment.
By attaching it to the A20 or the A10, the WC-DC52 wide conversion lens lets you take shots as wide as 24.5mm

With the A20 and A10’s Direct Print Mode, skip your computer altogether and use the Card Photo Printer CP-10 . You’ll have a print to show to your friends in under a minute.
Just plug the camera and the printer together with the direct printer cable, follow the instructions on the camera’s LCD monitor, and in less than 60 seconds you will have a credit card-size print or 8 mini-labels of your image.
Shoot and Show:
Printing Was
Never Easier
Designed specifically to complement the A20 or A10, the CP-10 is as easily portable, and as simple to use as the camera itself. It delivers high-resolution – 300 x 300dpi – borderless credit card-sized prints, using the dye-sublimation printing method for superior color gradation and neutral tints. A protective overcoating keeps your prints from fading due to handling or exposure to sunlight.
The CD-300 is another way to get great prints of your digital images. Don’t bother with complicated connections –just pop the A20’s or A10’s CompactFlash
card right in the printer and choose between 4” x 6”, 4” x 10” or multi-image print sizes. Dye-sublimation technology ensures vibrant, high-quality prints
and protective over­coating means they’ll stay that way.

Speed and versatility are what digital photography is really all about. Forget waiting until a roll of film is finished. Forget waiting for the lab to develop film and send it back to you.
Instead of all that waiting, the A20 or A10 lets you share your images as soon as you’ve captured them. Take a picture of your child or your dog or a lovely vacation spot with it. As soon as you’ve taken the picture, you can share it with family and friends.
The Digital Difference:
Share Your Images
Use your Macintosh or PC computer to display your images on screen, print them on paper, or e-mail them to your friends and family. All of the software to do that is bundled with your A20 or A10, including ZoomBrowser EX 2.6 (ImageBrowser
1.6 for Macintosh users) and PhotoStitch 3.1.
PhotoStitch can assemble dramatic panoramic images from pictures taken with the Canon’s exclusive Stitch Assist Mode.
ZoomBrowser (or ImageBrowser) gives you the ability to display, download and save images. It also lets you perform simple cropping and color adjustments and arrange an onscreen slide show. Want to send images via e-mail? ZoomBrowser automatically resizes and compresses the images, and starts your e-mail application.

Hike with it. Mountain bike with it. Lie on a beach with it. Going kayaking? There’s a waterproof case for it that will let you take it along on water sports adventures, too. The case is so protective, in fact, that it will enable you to take your A20 or A10 scuba diving with you to depths of 100 feet (30 meters).
Wherever you go, you won’t run out of power, because the A20 and A10 run on AA batteries that you can find anywhere in the
world. The CompactFlash™card provides
removable digital
storage for your pictures.
Expandable Capabilities:
For All Seasons
And All Reasons
For greater photographic variety, both the A20 and A10 will accept the WC-DC52 wide conversion lens which reduces the camera’s focal length to 24.5mm for a wide
­angle effect. For extreme macro work, the Close-up Lens 250D 52mm can be used. Both lenses require the use of a lens adapter, which will also accommodate 52mm filters for a range of visual effects.
Take your PowerShot A20 or PowerShot A10
with you anywhere, and let it take
you deep
to the possibilities of digital
photography.
