Canon PowerShot SX1 IS
Canon PowerShot SX1 IS
Canon supercharges its PowerShot digital compact camera range with a powerful new PowerShot model: the 10 Megapixel PowerShot SX1 IS, which replaces the PowerShot S5 IS. The Canon 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. The Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers a revolutionary series of features never seen before on a Canon 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.
The SX1 IS sports a CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) sensor in place of the usual CCD (charge-coupled device) found in virtually all compact digitals. CMOS technology is generally credited with high noise immunity and low static power consumption, and the SX1 IS marks Canon’s first venture into the compact market with such a sensor. But wait – there’s more: the SX1 IS can record full HD video. Finally, the camera has RAW capability.
