UPDATE: 17:00 PM It looks like Walmart have pulled the plug on their Canon A70/S50 pages, as these links no longer work! Did they post these cameras without Canon’s permission? Will the A70/S50 ever see the light of day? Was it complete hoax?

Could this be the first wave of a flood of new products from Canon? The US retailer Walmart is currently listing 2 new digital Canon Powershots (currently “out of stock”).

Canon Powershot S50The S50 is a 5 megapixel compact, featuring a 3x optical zoom lens, movie recording capability, 12 shooting modes including aperture or shutter speed priority, night scene and movie, and 9-point auto focus.

The listed RRP at Walmart is $597.67.
