The Canon Powershot Sd1200is
By Payo W Perry
This is a great all round digital camera from Cannon, a highly respected and trusted brand with the camera market. It's a point and shoot type of affair which is very portable and will make taking great pictures easily achievable even for the complete novice.
It has a 10.0 million mega pixel resolution which will deliver dramatic pictures full of vibrant colour and life. Because the camera is so clever at making all the necessary adjustments you'll finally have some photos you'll be proud of whether of the family or while on holidays. Another advantage of shots taken with this Cannon PowerShot is that photos can be enlarged up to 13 x 19 inches.
At times, especially in low light levels, digital cameras have struggled to produce pictures which are perfectly in focus. Natural human hand shake is another cause of this problem. Due to Cannon's Optical Image Stabilizer Technology camera shake is now automatically detected and corrected. This reduces the frequency of blurred shots even when zoomed in to maximum. It will also operate independently whether you are using a flash or not.
One of the most critical factors in your enjoyment of digital photography is down to the quality of the screen. Cannon really delivers here with a large and crisply sharp LCD of 2.5 inches. It's ability to accurately represent colour is great and it's also scratch resistant and painted with an anti reflective coating. A night display mode makes it easy to view shots in low light.
If you're in the market for a good quality 'point and shoot type' of camera then give this one from Cannon some serious consideration.
