The PowerShot products are a line of consumer and prosumer grade digital cameras, launched by Canon in 1995. The PowerShot line has been successful for Canon, and is one of the best-selling digital camera lines worldwide. On the photo sharing website Flickr, in the point-and-shoot category, the top three most-uploaded photographs are taken with Canon PowerShot cameras.[1]
According to Slashdot, freeware from the CHDK project allows nearly complete programmatic control of PowerShot cameras, enabling users to add features, up to and including BASIC scripting.[2]
Some models of Powershot cameras were affected by third party CCD sensors with a design flaw which caused them to fail and display severely distorted images. Canon has offered to repair affected cameras free of charge. [1]
