What are the features and how will they benefit you?

10 Megapixel CMOS Sensor – delivers photo quality prints up to A3 size as well as full HD movie recording. DIG!C IV - Canon's newest processor gives you clearer images with more vibrant colours, fast start-up time, super-fast image processing, and low power consumption. Optical Image Stabilisation - counteracts blurred images due to shaky hands or when shooting in low-light conditions. Also important at full zoom where a small movement of the hand can cause a lot of movement at the other end. 28mm Wide Angle - 20x Zoom Lens - allows you to shoot beautiful landscapes, architecture or capture great group shots at the wide end – zoom in to distant subjects at the telephoto end. High Speed Continuous Shooting – shoots up to 4 frames per second so you can capture the perfect moment. Servo AF – ensures fast focusing on moving subjects – great for capturing all the action when shooting sports, kids, animals etc. Face Detection – focuses and sets correct exposure on faces rather than other objects that may appear in the frame. Red-eye Correction – Automatically fixes red-eye in-camera. Great if you are printing directly from the camera or memory card. Motion Detection - Analyses subject movement and adjusts image capture settings to freeze the action. 2.8” Vari-angle LCD Screen – allows you to compose your shots at difficult angles using the LCD screen - great for low angle shots or high angle such as over the top of crowds. Zero cm Macro Shooting - allows you to get as close to the subject as possible for spectacular close-ups.

Canon says:

Sydney, 17 September 2008: Canon's Super Zoom SX series welcomes two new members to its range - the PowerShot SX10 IS and the flagship SX1 IS. These new digital cameras are compact in design and feature enhanced super zoom performance in tandem with new technologies from Canon.

A first for Canon digital compact cameras, the two models both feature an impressive 20x Wide Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer along with Canon's newly developed DiG!C 4 Image Processor. Enthusiast photographers will enjoy getting closer to the action without compromising on image quality. Another milestone for Canon is the inclusion of a CMOS sensor with Full HD movie recording in the SX1 IS, ensuring highly detailed images and High Definition movies.

"By introducing super zoom models and the ability to capture HD movies we aim to encourage digital compact camera users to broaden their scope of photography," said Kimberley Langton, Brand Manager - Digital Still Cameras, Consumer Imaging Products Group, Canon Australia. "The SX10 IS and SX1 IS make perfect travelling companions, developed to capture razor-sharp detail even at 20x zoom, while offering the versatility of a compact, portable body."

Enhanced Image Quality with DiG!C 4
Building on DiG!C III's high-speed rendering of fine detail and natural colour reproduction, DiG!C 4 provides even faster processing for photographing friends and family in any situation. DiG!C 4 incorporates improved Face Detection including Face Detect Self Timer, Motion Detection technologies and new features including Servo AF, Intelligent Contrast Correction and a new movie function allowing longer movie recording using less memory.*

SX1 IS - Setting the Standard for Digital Compact Cameras
A first for Canon digital compact cameras, the PowerShot SX1 IS features a CMOS sensor similar to Canon's EOS models. By incorporating a CMOS sensor into the design, it allows faster capture and processing to help photographers shoot higher quality images at fast speeds.

By including the CMOS sensor and new DiG!C 4 image processor, Full HD movies (1920x1080) are now possible. High quality stereo sound, 16:9 aspect ratio and HDMI output allows users to share their high definition images and videos with friends and family without compromising quality.

SX10 IS and SX1 IS - Telephoto Zoom at Wide Angle
Both models feature super telephoto photography with a 20x Wide Optical Zoom Lens, the most powerful zoom (28-560mm) available in the Canon digital compact camera range. The power of multiple lenses is concentrated in this compact body and is perfect for those capturing their photo travel diary or for sports enthusiasts who want to get closer to the action. Coupled with a high precision Optical Image Stabilizer, users can capture steady shots even at super high zoom.

Photographers can challenge their creativity with 24 different shooting modes, from manual shooting to special scene modes that can be selected according to the scene. Further encouraging a user's creativity, both new digital cameras feature a vari-angle LCD that makes shooting at difficult angles easy.

An AF Continuous Shooting function is also included and enables fast focus during continuous shooting, so every shot is crisp and clear. These bold cameras are reminiscent of a digital SLR camera except housed in a more compact body.
