Canon Powershot SD630 Digital ELPH Camera
by Olan Pays
The Canon Powershot SD630 Digital ELPH is a compact, ultra slim yet quality camera that you can easily fit into your t-shirt pocket. It measures 90 x 57 x 20 mm (3.5 x 2.2 x 0.8 in) and weighs just about 145 grams (5.1 ounces).
The Canon SD630 continues the PowerShot tradition of fusing cutting-edge technologies and superb build quality with compelling camera design. The camera sports a 6.0 megapixel resolution with a 3x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 35-105mm lens on a 35mm camera). Compared to its cousin, the Canon SD600, the SD630 has a larger LCD monitor of 3 inches. However, this is the only viewfinder you can find on the camera as it doesn’t have an optical viewfinder.
One thing that I really like about this camera is that the Canon SD630 has an excellent performance in low-light shooting condition. The camera offers selectable ISO settings up to 800 to allow flash free photography in low light. It’s an extraordinarily high sensitivity rating that previously featured only on advanced and professional cameras.
To improve processing speed and heighten image quality, the Powershot SD630 is featured with Canon’s DIGIC II image processor. This processor also provides markedly faster startup, autofocus, and playback. Further, it assures that every image is more colorfully vibrant.
The Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. All you have to do is just simply connect the SD630 to any compatible photo printer, press the lighted Print/Share button, and print! Moreover, you can use the Print/Share button to transfer photos to your computer. The SD630 is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
