A Retro Review Of Canon’s First PowerShot Camera, Released In 1996

Few will remember the Canon PowerShot 600. I do. Was a cool camera.

At a glance:

• Built-in CCD with a 570,000-pixel matrix
• High-resolution lens (160 lines per mm)
• B/W Text mode for shooting text clearly
• CCD RAW mode permits images to be recorded without being compressed
• Also compatible with PCMCIA Type II and III hard-disk cards
• Can take wide-angle shots using a wide converter (optional) equivalent to 28mm
