We now have further details courtesy of Canon Japan (specifications, sample images), and our friends at the Digital Photography Review (who have European pricing and a full review). If you've not read our previous item, the Canon PowerShot SD100 Digital ELPH is Canon's first camera to feature Secure Digital storage, but is otherwise based on the PowerShot S230 in a somewhat smaller chassis with improved control positioning. It will apparently go on sale in Europe - where it will be called the Canon Digital IXUS II - at a price of £369 / €479 (roughly equivalent to US$537 - 593 / ¥63,800 - 70,400 ignoring exchange rate fluctuations, taxes and duties), with availability not yet announced.

* This digital camera supports Exif 2.2 (also called "Exif Print"). Exif Print is a standard for enhancing the communication between digital cameras and printers. By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, the camera's image data at the time of shooting is used and optimized, yielding extremely high quality prints.
** Maximum recording time per movie clip when using the separately sold SDC-128M SD card (not sold in some regions).
