Canon SD1200 IS - Now You Can Take Great Pictures Anywhere, Anytime...
The Canon SD1200 IS is a compact digital camera which offers incredible picture quality and all of the features that the casual photographer needs to create clear, sharp, professional-looking photos. It's all wrapped up in a user-friendly camera which is available in a variety of appealing colors (including pink, orange, blue, green and gray) and fits right into any pocket or purse - it's about the size of a pack of playing cards!
Incorporating Canon's advanced DIGIC4 image processor, the SD1200 includes features like Canon's Face Recognition technology to identify faces within a shot and optimize the focus and other settings to make for a better shot with realistically rendered skin tones.
It even tracks the subjects of your photo until the picture is shot, allowing for clear pictures even with moving subjects.
There is also a Face Detection Self-Timer function which allows the photographer to get into the frame for group portraits; the Face Detection technology waits until the new face enters the frame and is in focus before taking the shot.
Other advanced automatic adjustment features integrated into the Canon SD1200 IS include I-Contrast: this is Canon's Intelligent Contrast Correction, which adjusts contrast and focus automatically for dark subjects without over-brightening light areas. Like the 3-mode Red Eye Correction feature, I-Contrast can be applied as you take your photos or afterwards so you won't miss the moment.
There is also the Smart AUTO function, which automatically selects the most appropriate of the SD1200's 18 preset shooting modes to get the best picture every time. These modes may also be manually selected and include a Kids & Pets Mode ideal for fast-moving subjects, an Aquarium mode to reduce glass glare and a mode specifically designed to optimize close-up photos.
The Canon SD1200 IS provides very high quality images with its 10 megapixel resolution, taking pictures which can be enlarged to poster size (13" x 19") without losing their sharpness, clarity and detail. Integrated Canon Optical Image Stabilizer technology eliminates camera shake to give you clear, blur-free photos automatically.
A 2.5" PureColor LCD II viewfinder and display screen makes it easy to compose your shots and quickly view them; the large LCD screen also features a Night Display mode for viewing in dim lighting. There's also an optical viewfinder for photographers who prefer to compose their shots this way.
Included with the Canon SD1200 IS Digital Camera are a lithium-ion battery pack, a battery charger, wrist strap, USB cable for connecting the SD1200 to your PC, Mac or printer, the Canon Digital Camera Solution CD-ROM and an AV cable for viewing your images and video on your television.
