Canon have surprised everyone, except for DPReview, by announcing a new compact digital camera and 2 new dye-sub printers. The Canon PowerShot SD100/Digital IXUS II (US/Europe + Asia names) is a very compact 3 megapixel camera which uses SD storage cards.

Here’s a brief excerpt from the Canon press-release:

“To make this its smallest digital camera ever, Canon has miniaturised nearly every element of the camera. These include the ‘one dime lens’, first time use of the tiny SD memory card, smallest flash ever to appear in a Canon digital camera, reduced battery size and the unique DIGIC processor. Despite its tiny size, the Digital IXUS II’s 3.2 megapixels will ensure its popularity amongst users looking to achieve high quality prints up to A4 size.”
