With its customary scatter-gun approach, Canon has announced a bunch of new IXUS and PowerShot cameras: the IXUS 200 and 120, and PowerShot SX20, S90 and G11. We're on our way to get some sweet, sweet alone time with the new models, but here's a quick round-up of the cameras you can stick straight on your Christmas list now.

The Digital IXUS 200 IS is Canon's first touchscreen, with 5x zoom and wide-angle lens. The IXUS 120 IS also boasts a wide-angle lens and is touted as one of Canon's slimmest ever.

The PowerShot SX20 packs a tilty-flippy LCD screen and 10x zoom. It's also launched the PowerShot S90, with an interesting lens-control ring.

The big hitter in the new line-up, pictured above, is the PowerShot G11, Canon's top-end supercompact. The successor to the popular G10 is designed as a back-up camera for prosumers and is packed with high-spec features.
