Features
- 20x Optical Zoom lens with a focal length of 5.0-100mm (35mmi don equivalent: 28-560mm):Allows you to shoot any scene from wide-angle to telephoto.
- VCM (Voice Coil Motor):Provides high-speed, quiet, energy-efficient lens movement with precise control - the focal length is conveniently indicated on the lens barrel. The lens is optimized to fully exploit its zoom length and wide shooting angle in concert with the camera's high 12.1 Megapixel resolution
- UD glass:Effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, while enhanced negative refractive power ensures that distortion at the wide-angle is also corrected. Further aberration is controlled with the inclusion of a double-sided aspherical glass-molded lens and ultra-high refraction index lens.
- Optical Image Stabilizer Technology:Automatically detects and corrects camera shake - one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you'll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash.
- Create HD movies:You'll enjoy the flexibility of using the optical zoom while shooting superb 720p HD movies with stereo sound. You can fully capture fun, memorable moments with an HDMI output connector for easy playback on your HDTV. You can also record video in beautiful high definition (1280 x 720 pixels). The camera also makes it easy to enjoy HD movies (and still photos) on your HDTV with a mini-HDMI connector for direct connection to a high-definition monitor. You'll enjoy the HD experience with no degradation of image or audio in the signal, plus the ability to display up to 130 thumbnails at once.
- Improved Smart AUTO:Intelligently selects the proper settings for the camera based on 22 predefined shooting situations. Advanced Canon technology intelligently analyzes your situation and shooting conditions. Then it automatically selects an appropriate setting from 22 defined settings. So whether you're photographing flowers, a captivating sunset, or your friends at the park, you can be confident that you're getting dramatic, memorable images.
- 12.1 Megapixels:Gives your photography incomparable depth and ensures that any section of any shot can be enlarged and cropped with no loss in quality. It can create crisp, clear 13" x 19" posters.
- DIGIC 4 Image Processor:Canon's proprietary DIGIC Image Processors have long set its cameras apart from the competition, and the new DIGIC 4 sets the bar even higher. Faster, more accurate noise reduction delivers better image quality, even at high ISO speeds.
- iSAPS Technology:An entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
