There are many words to describe digital photography. Most will agree that these days the two words that describe it the best are “fun” and “easy”. This is the essence of digital photography. It’s fun to be able to take a photograph, look at it right away, and then send it off to your loved ones with a click of a button and get their response within minutes through the magic of email. That’s fun!
It’s brain dead simple most of the time for even the most non-technical of humans as well. Seven year old girls are constantly getting digital cameras for birthdays and Christmas, and literally using them within minutes, and shipping pictures off to their friends within minutes after that.
The Canon PowerShot camera SD1000 gives you that simplicity, as well as that propensity for fun, and combines it with superior technology that makes the photos you take extremely high in quality. In fact, this camera can produce a photo quality print at 15 X 20 inches using its high 7.1 megapixels CCD for power and resolution. Your photos will have brilliant colors, along with fine detail. As you share your photos you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the very positive reactions that your receive to your handy work.
On that note on sharing your photos, it will be tremendous fun for you to share your photos on the large 2.5 inch LCD screen that’s used for framing and reviewing your shots, as well as hopping from menu selection to menu selection. Bouncing from one shooting mode to the other becomes a piece of cake.
This means that as you gather friends and family around to look at your cameras photos, stored in the camera itself, it will bring back a reminiscence of looking at photos the old fashioned way that come out of the envelope, only this is instant.
You’ll also love the fact that you’re able to see the shots as they’ll be framed in the photo on the large LCD screen itself, rather than hassling with a view finder of the old days, where you never know if the photo that you’d just taken is the photo that you wanted at all, until of course you got it back days later.
Of course with the PowerShot SD1000 your photos will have very sharp and accurate quality, much in due to the fact that your camera comes equipped with the DIGIC III Image Processor. This is software installed into your camera that dramatically increases processing time of your photos, along with optimizing your photos so that they have the most superior of quality.
Within the DIGIC III software is the highly acclaimed Face Detection technology, which will have you extremely excited once you see how your camera is easily able to recognize human faces within a scene, and automatically enhance those faces so that the person’s truest personality comes through. This is done through optimized lighting, coloring, white balance, so that the star of each and every single photograph is the subjects themselves.
With an ISO 1600 and high ISO auto setting capabilities, the lighting of your subjects will no longer become a hassle. Very often times we lose great photos because of poor lighting, or improper lighting, and that’s where the ISO capabilities come in and correct this automatically so that you don’t end up with a photo that’s doomed for the delete button.
As you’re shooting your subjects, sometimes knowing precisely the best shooting circumstances and conditions can be challenging, so to combat this the Canon PowerShot SD1000 gives you an insane amount of shooting modes to choose from. Seventeen different shooting modes in fact – which includes 8 Special Modes such as Foliage, Snow, Aquarium, and Beach!
