New Canon camera ‘designed by women for women’

Canon has unveiled a new digital camera which is designed "by women for women".

Available in a number of pastel shades, the PowerShot E1 is a new model in Canon’s PowerShot range and is "curvier" than existing models, reports Techradar.com.

Included on the device is a range of Canon’s patented technology, which includes an "easy mode" where the camera controls all aspects of shooting pictures and other user-friendly additions including automatic face detection and red-eye correction.

The PowerShot E1 is set to be available in the UK from September, with the price yet to be revealed by the manufacturer.

Chris Hall from pocket-lint.co.uk recently praised Olympus’s SP-570 UZ digital camera in a review for its "impressive feel" and ability to take some "great shots" using its mid-range zoom.
