Imagine placing your hand around the perfectly shaped grip of the
all new PowerShot SX1 IS by Canon and you're ready for a
picture-taking experience that's advanced in every way possible.
The 10.0 MegaPixel SX1 IS is the first PowerShot that comes
equipped with a CMOS sensor, the trademark of Canon's much
respected EOS line of cameras. Other digital cameras use the CCD
sensors on. But, the CMOS sensors convert and amplify signals
before they are transferred to the image processor. This feature
allows the CMOS sensor to produce extremely clean image data,
without stray signals that can make images look bad. You can also
create Full High Definition movies that allow you to see every
detail on your HiDef TV because of the HDMI output which allows
easy playback of video (1920 x 1080 pixels) at 30 frames per
second. Also, there is an advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor with
evolved Face Detection Technology and the Face Detection Self-timer
for wonderful control and performance. This technology locates and
tracks the faces of moving subjects until you're ready to take the
shot, then delivers perfect focus. Along with that, exposure, flash
and white balance are compensated, so that faces display natural
skin tones and backgrounds are exposed properly.
