The Canon A650 is their latest update to the long line of excellent
A-Series cameras. Previous A-Series cameras came with 4x optical zoom lenses. The A650 features a 6x optically stabilized lens. This means that when outfitted with the PhotoMed Closeup Attachment Kit, the A650 will focus on a field only 0.9 inches wide. This is the same size field that our digital SLR cameras will focus to.
The LCD screen is the same size as the previous models but is much higher resolution. The A630/A640 screen has 115,000 pixels - the A650 screen has 175,000 pixels.
The body of the A650 is slightly smaller than the A640 (12mm narrower in length) and benefits from a faster processor making every function of the camera noticibly faster.
The PhotoMed/Canon A650 Digital Dental Camera is specifically designed to allow you take all of the standard clinical views with "frame and focus" simplicity.The built-in color monitor allows you to precisely frame your subject. Focus and shoot. It's that easy.
Proper exposure and balanced even lighting are assured. By using the camera's built-in flash, the amount of light necessary for a proper exposure is guaranteed and PhotoMed's custom closeup lighting attachment redirects the light from the camera's flash to create a balanced, even lighting across the field.
Like the previous G-Series and A-Series cameras, the A650 features a "swing-out" LCD monitor (this allows you to angle the screen for easier viewing when you are shooting at an angle) and one custom setting that allows you lock in a lens position for repeatable magnifications. For dentistry, this allows you to set one specific "magnification" and repeatedly shoot the same field size over and over. For ortho, you can set the custom setting for the 1:2 magnification (anterior, occlusals
and buccals).
The A650 Digital Dental Camera System works with all imaging software packages - Windows or Apple operating systems.
