ot SX100 IS features a 10x optical zoom lens with optical Image Stabilizer, 8.0 Megapixel image sensor (1/2.5") and DIGIC III processor. It's also got face detection (of course) and a full complement of auto and manual exposure modes, plus a 2.5" LCD screen (there is no eye level viewfinder). It's not the prettiest camera Canon has ever made but it has a suprisingly comprehensive spec for a 'budget' model. Unbeatable Canon image quality The compact 10x optical zoom lens is based on the proven lens configuration of the PowerShot S5 IS, with the number of moving lens elements kept to a minimum to ensure faster, power efficient operation. A 35mm film equivalent focal length of 36-360mm, gives the PowerShot SX100 IS an ideal zoom range for school sports days, family holidays or wildlife adventures. Canon?s lens-shift type optical Image Stabilizer ? first developed for Canon?s market-leading EF lenses used with professional EOS SLR cameras ? is incorporated to counteract the effects of camera shake in low light conditions and at full zoom. A second line of defence against camera shake is Auto ISO Shift, which can be selected by the user to boost the ISO setting just enough to combat the effects of unintended camera movement. Two further ISO features ? manually selected high ISO settings up to ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto ? combat the blur caused by typical subject movement, as well as camera shake when low light conditions would normally require a longer exposure. Better photos made easy The DIGIC III image processor powers several features that make it easier for everyone to produce better photos. Face Detection Technology quickly and accurately detects faces in a scene then adjusts the focus, exposure and flash output settings for the best possible people shots.
