Canon PowerShot SD900
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "NEWS" @ 06:00 AM
"Canon today launches the new flagship of the Digital IXUS range – the Digital IXUS 900 Ti (US name: SD900 Digital ELPH). Finished in precision-crafted titanium with the renowned Perpetual Curve design of its predecessors, the slender Digital IXUS 900 Ti offers class-leading technology to match its exclusive exterior: 10.0 Megapixel resolution, an ultra-compact 3x optical zoom lens and Canon's new DIGIC III image processor with advanced Noise Reduction technology. DIGIC III also drives Face Detection AF/AE , a new Canon technology that automatically detects faces in people shots and optimises focus and exposure accordingly. Other key advancements include a Touch Control Dial, super-high resolution 2.5" wide angle LCD screen and ISO 1600 shooting. The Digital IXUS 900 Ti will be available from late September"
I do have to admit that the new SD900 has an amazing look. I am usually a great fan of Canon cameras and especially the Powershot series. Though, this past week, I recommended the Fujifilm F30 to my girlfriend over the SD 700 or 630 (I didn't know about the SD 900 at the time) because of the much better picture quality and parity in features (in some cases much better features). I guess time will tell about whether Canon has worked on improving quality with the Digic III chip.
