Canon PowerShot SD 900

One of the greatest things about new digital cameras is the fact that you’re able to elicit such high quality in such small, sleek, and slender packages. That’s certainly the case when it comes to the Canon PowerShot SD900.

Now when you talk about high quality you’re obviously talking about the quality of the photos that the camera is capable of taking. Let’s face it, all the bells and whistles are fine and dandy but without the end result that you’re looking for then it’s not worth having. With that in mind, consider the fact that the PowerShot SD900 packs a punch of 10 megapixels, which basically is enough megapixels to create a very clear and crisp 18 X 24 inch print, which is pretty remarkable – especially for such a small and handy camera.

The SD900 is designed with a palm fitting perpetual curve. Additionally, with its light weight it becomes a very comfortable camera to walk around with on days where photo opportunities run rampant, and putting away the camera is likely to lead to a lost moment forever. However, even if you do need to grab a picture in a crunch, this camera has a very easy to use touch control dial which makes your life infinitely easier.

To add to that ease is the fact that both reviewing your photos as well as making new menu selections becomes incredibly easy with the large 2.5 inch LCD screen that gives you a crystal clear image view of everything that comes across it. Review your photos while catching each and every single detail quickly and easily.

When you need to capture a photo shot that is not as close as you would like for it to be then you’ll find that you have much more of a chance at catching important moments with the 3X optical zoom. Whether your child is across the room, across the field kicking a goal, or up on stage at the school assembly you’ll have no excuses as to why you missed the shot.

Now, in case the 3X optical zoom isn’t enough for you, or you still aren’t happy with the shot that you’ve taken then you can utilize the SD900’s Enhanced Digital Zoom. This Enhanced zoom type gives you two different ways in order to get the most of the digital zoom’s performance using a Safety Zoom as well as a Digital Teleconverter.

The Safety Zoom makes it possible to go beyond the optical limits, while preserving the quality of the image…while the Digital Teleconverter models the use of 1.4X and 2.3X telconversion lenses, leaving yet impressive quality to all of your images.

You get less of an excuse for missing shots when you add the feature of the DIGIC III Image Processor specifically developed by Canon giving you finer images, improving the quality and ease of use of the camera altogether, and improving functionality of the camera – while at the same time increasing camera speed. On top of that you’ll enjoy a longer battery life because of the DIGIC III Processor as well.
Here’s another gem of the Canon PowerShot SD900’s DIGIC III. You get the added bonus of Face Detection with your camera. What this accomplishes is incredibly impressive. With this your camera has “face priority function” which makes it possible for it to detect a human face – or faces – in any scene in order to ensure superior focus and exposure of the faces within your shot. This means no more blurry or washed out faces because of either too much or too little light. The Canon SD900 get’s it right nearly every single time.

Hands down, this camera is one of the best and highest quality cameras around at it’s price point. It would be quite a challenge to find a better value than you’ll get with this camera.
