Canon unveiled a quartet of new point-and-shoot PowerShot cameras for 2008. The new cameras include updates to Canon's fashion-minded Digital Elph line, as well as three new additions to the solid and popular PowerShot A line.

The new Elph is the PowerShot SD1100 IS, an ultracompact 8-megapixel camera available in five colors: brown, pink, blue, gold, and silver. The SD1100 is the successor to last year's SD1000 Digital Elph, adding optical image stabilization to its 3x optical zoom lens.
