Canon SD950 Digital Camera

by Olan Pays

Canon Powershot SD950IS, as the successor to the SD900, features a 12.1 megapixels resolution with a 3.7X optical zoom lens. It also has a 2.5 inches LCD screen (230,000 pixels). At 12.1 megapixel, you can practically print out posters with superior clarity and detail.

The Canon SD950 is simply unparalleled by any model or competitor in quality, size and sturdiness. It measures only 1.1 x 2.4 x 3.8 inches and weighs just 5.8 ounce. With the size and weight, the SD950 is small and light enough to fit into your shirt pocket without burden.

When holding the camera, you don’t have to worry to drop it as the Canon SD950 has well placed ridges and grooves for a secure handhold.

The Powershot SD950 looks great and extremely rugged with titanium casing and chrome accents. It is also visually pleasing with its smooth matte silver finish.

The camera is also equipped with image stabilization. This feature will help you to prevent blurry pictures if you’re shaky with your hands or taking pictures in low light conditions.

In addition, the Canon SD950 IS comes with an optical viewfinder which is priceless in situations of glaring light, or god forbid an LCD screen outage.

Features:

- Face Detection Technology

- Red-eye Correction

- Digic III Processor

- ISO: 80-3200

However, you may find that the battery life is not as long as they advertised (approximately 240 shots). For a full day shooting, you will want to spend a few bucks on a back up battery. Of course this is not a big problem.

Overall, you will not be disappointed with all the powerful features the Canon SD950 has. If you are looking for a quality and rugged point and shoot camera, the SD950 is a no-brainer.
