Don't let the lack of pointy ears fool you, this is one powerful ELPH. Using a design reminiscent of the original ELPH cameras, Canon packed lots of features into this updated classic. In the center of the circle is a 4X optical zoom lens with a 5.8 – 23.2mm (equivalent to 35–140mm, in 35mm format) focal length. The back box is a 2.5" TFT LCD screen with 230K pixels that makes a great viewfinder or review screen.
The highly advanced DIGIC III has improved Face Detection Technology and Red-Eye Correction for images that you don't need to edit on your computer. ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings reduce camera shake effects and sharpen subjects in low-light situations. Multiple shooting modes automatically adjust their settings to give you the best shot. Color swap and accent let you make some manipulations right on the camera. Five movie modes let you take short digital films, making sure you get all of the action.
All this technology doesn't matter if storing and printing the pictures is a hassle. The memory card slot can handle the new SDHC high capacity memory cards as well as the standard SD and MMC formats. You can connect the ELPH directly to select Canon printers for quick and easy prints wherever you are.
