10.0 Million Pixel Sensor
A new high-resolution CCD sensor provides amazing image quality and resolution for those wanting the maximum versatility out of their image files.

DIGIC 4 Image Processor
Canon’s latest and most powerful image processing engine. The DIGIC 4 processor ensures superior image quality, while providing new enhancements in speed, features and functionality.

Automatic Scene Detection Technology
“AUTO” mode uses Canon’s Automatic Scene Detection Technology. Automatic Scene Detection judges the subject brightness and contrast, camera to subject distance, the overall scene hue, along with other factors to accurately identify the scene. Working together with Canon’s Face Detection and Motion Detection technologies, this assures that optimum settings are made in all shooting situations.

Face Detect Self-timer
Detects faces in the scene and releases the shutter in response to the appearance of an additional face.

Enhanced i-Contrast
Canon’s i-Contrast function analyzes the exposure, dynamic range, and other image characteristics in the signal processing stage to adaptively control the exposure in the shadows and dark areas without affecting the brighter areas of the scene. Additionally with Enhanced i-Contrast the white, black, and gamma levels will adjust when needed on images with a narrow dynamic range providing an image with better brightness variation.

Great Camera for the Price!!!

"I bought this camera on sale for $50.00 off which brought it in line with most of the cheaper camera's with less features. The 10X optical zoom is wonderful & works great! I never use digital zoom because of the destruction of picture qaulity & the inability of croping my photos. I purchased this camera for my wife to use at soccer games, Christmas & just general use. While I have a SLR camera that I use for por..." Read Full Review »
