Canon PowerShot SX1 IS 10-Megapixel Digital Camera

Put your hand around the perfectly shaped grip of Canon's sporty new PowerShot SX1 IS and you're ready for a shooting experience that's advanced in every way. The 10.0-megapixel SX1 IS is the very first PowerShot equipped with a CMOS sensor, a hallmark of Canon's lauded EOS line. Unlike the CCD sensors on most Digital cameras, CMOS sensors convert and amplify signals before they are transferred to the image processor. This enables the CMOS sensor to produce exceptionally clean image data, free of the stray signals that can mar images. You can also create Full HD movies and see every detail on your HDTV thanks to HDMI Output for easy playback of Video (1920 x 1080 pixels) at 30fps. Plus, you've got an advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor with evolved Face Detection Technology and the Face Detection Self-timer for extraordinary control and performance. This technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you're ready to shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, Flash and White balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and backgrounds are properly exposed.
