Canon swings by the North Pole on the way to CES, grows the ELPH family by two

Not taking cues from a certain other manufacturer that unveiled well over a dozen models last week, Canon is adding just two cameras to its PowerShot ELPH family, in addition to the just-announced PowerShot G1 X. The 10.1 megapixel ELPH 520 HS and 16 megapixel ELPH 110 HS both include high-sensitivity CMOS sensors, sensitivity up to ISO 3200, 1080p video capture and 3-inch LCDs. The pricier 520 HS has a 12x wide-angle (28mm) optical zoom lens and can capture burst images at 6.8 frames-per-second, while the 110HS has a 5x optical zoom lens starting at 24mm at the wide angle and can snap up to 5.8 frames per second.

A new Face ID feature enables the camera to store up to 12 faces in the camera, letting you prioritize focus and exposure for recognized subjects -- if a child and parent are recognized in the same photo, the child can be set with a higher priority, so they're always in focus. If an unfamiliar face (perhaps that of a stranger) appears in the background, it won't receive focus priority. A Sleeping Face Recognition mode will turn off the flash, assist beam and camera sound if it detects that you're attempting to photograph someone as they sleep. Ready to replace your point-and-shoot? Come March, you'll be able to pick up the 520 HS in black, silver, red and blue for $300, or the 110 HS for $250 this February. Jump past the break for the Canon PR.
