Power and versatility are main features of the new Canon SX1 IS. 10.0 Megapixel resolution, DIGIC 4 and 2.8” widescreen vari-angle LCD II with wide viewing angle are included in the new Canon PowerShot SX 1 IS.
The Canon SX 1 replaces the PowerShot S5. The Canon Powershot SX1 IS raises the benchmark for compact zooms with an outstanding 20x wide-angle (28mm) optical zoom, with USM and VCM for fast, silent, zooming.
This camera offers a revolutionary series of features never seen before on a compact camera - a 10 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor, 4 frames per second continuous shooting, full HD movie capture and Canon’s new DIGIC 4 processor for fast performance and richly detailed, clean images in a wide range of shooting situations.
With the Canon PowerShot SX1 20x wide-angle (28mm) optical zoom lens, the Canon tackles everything from long-range telephoto shots to sweeping landscapes. Canon’s Ultrasonic Motor (USM) combines with Voice Coil Motor (VCM) technology for near-silent operation and the speed for sports or wildlife subjects. And thanks to Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer - which now offers a 4-stop advantage - camera shake blur is avoided even with the zoom fully extended.
The Canon SX 1 IS features a resolution of 10 Megapixels, capturing all the necessary detail for poster-size prints or creative cropping in post processing. A Canon CMOS sensor allows the new camera to shoot full-resolution JPEGs at speeds of up to 4fps - making it a powerful, pocket-sized tool ideal for capturing fast-paced action sequences.
For the ultimate in visual quality, the Canon PowerShot SX1 delivers 1080p (30fps) High Definition video - ready for instant playback on any HDTV via a built-in HDMI connection. Movies on the Canon SX1 IS camera are enhanced with CD quality stereo sound, optical zooming and Face Detection Technology; and if extra reach is required, the Canon SX1 IS includes Canon’s Advanced Tele-Converter for an extra 2x zoom with no loss in movie quality.
For the ultimate creative precision, the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers full manual control over both aperture and shutter speed. A Multi Control Dial offers fingertip access to all key settings. Plus, compatibility with a range of accessories - including Canon’s professional Speedlite EX flash units - extends creative potential even further.
