Over the years digital cameras have evolved and we know the latest trends in digital cameras are sleek and super slim designs, touch screens and high resolutions. With the Powershot D10 Canon opted for a more vintage design with curved edges with a pinch of the Seventies in it.

Canon created the Powershot D10 Camera for those with a taste for adventure and for those looking for a water and shock resistant camera with high performance features. The Canon Powershot D10 is waterproof, freezeproof and shockproof; believe me this camera is tough and it can take serious beating, it can resist a 1.5 metres fall, minus 10 C temperatures and you can go as deep as 10 meters (4.8 Bar) to take under water photos.

The Powershot D10 has a 12.1 megapixels of resolution plus all Canons’ state of the art imaging technologies, Another point in favour of the Powershot D10 camera is the interchangeable covers which include various colours, overall the Powershot D10 is a stand out camera model in terms design and usability.

With holidays around the corner, a digital camera is an essential summer buy, after all you don’t want to be missing classic snaps such as your Aunty falling in to the pool.

AJ Electronics offer a wide range of digital camera to suit everyones wants and needs.
