Canon is well-known for many electronics and for digital cameras also. There are many models of cameras from Canon and there is a wide variety to choose from. There are some 10mp cameras like Canon PowerShot SD790IS or the Canon PowerShot SXIS. These both have the same megapixels but the design is different and the editions also. The features are slightly different also but the basics are the same as there are some technologies Canon uses in all their digital cameras.
Let’s take Canon PowerShot SD790IS and see its specifications. The digital camera measures 3.6 x 2.2 x 0.8 inches and weights 5.4 ounces. The 10.0 megapixels it has captures highly details even for photos in poster-sizes. It has a 3x optical image-stabilized zoom. The detail and resolutions capture everything and you can enlarge the picture without any trouble as it will remain as clear as its original size. The Optical Image Stabilizer detects and gets rid of any camera shakes making sure your images remain non-blurry and non-fuzzy the whole way.


It’s best to always keep a camera around in case some special moments appear as there are no second chances afterwards. The Motion detection technology works to see how fast the object you want to picture is is moving and when it is selected it sets the best exposure so you get what you want. And when there is no motion the focus is made upon the color and the clarity. Now you will be able to capture your son on stage, or your friends dancing at the New Year’s party with confidence.
The LCD screen has 3” and it is wide enough to control the settings and view your photo albums. The screen is durable and having the Night Display it is easy to see both the pictures and setting in any kind of light. Furthermore, with the Face Detection Technology you will see better results and the concentration will be done on the faces in the picture, while the camera calculates the best balance of skin tones. Even if the person is moving around the camera is still focused on them. You can also see the design on this Canon digital camera, it has sculptured edges and the construction is solid for better handling. Coming back to the features, the DIGIC III images will look their best, as the top-efficiency is enhanced while the battery life is still saved-up. The Red-eye correction erases those red dots and you won’t have to edit pictures on the computer anymore. The ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto are settings meant to reduce the shake effects done by the digital cameras usually and even if the objects are in low-light situations, the shooter flexibility remains the same.

On the other side, Canon PowerShot SX10 IS 10 megapixels digital camera looks slightly different, more of a professional camera to be exact. It has a 20x zoom, 28mm wide angle has the same technologies as Face Detection and red-eye, the battery life is saved with the Canon DIGIC III. On the other side it weights more so maybe it’s not your everyday use camera.

This is more than a camera it has a mind of its own. Just from seeing it you can imagine it steps out of the headlines and it will give you the perfect pictures. It measures 3.1 x 4.6 x 3.2 inches and it weights 1.2 pounds.
First of all it is ultra-powerful meaning you get the shots you like without mistakes. The S5IS has some of Canon’s latest technologies and some of them are the DIGIC III Image Processor, capturing all the details and clarity. It is both compact and portable and with its solid construction you will be able to grip it well, without risking dropping it. You won’t be able to let it off your hands and take it anywhere you go. The 8 megapixels will capture all details of the images and you will be able to enlarge the image or any sector of it and even crop it to meet your expectations. In addition, the 12x optical zoom makes this a real gadget for photographers, and thanks to the ultrasonic motor drive zooming is fast and silent. And because you can’t miss capturing special times, I think most of us often said “I wish I had my camera with me”, this Canon PowerShot S5IS is just what you need. Equipped with Optical Image Stabilizer Technology it automatically corrects any mistakes or camera shakes, the often reason of fuzzy and blurry pictures. So even if you are zooming the camera you will still be able to capture steady and brilliant images. This new technology is available with or without the flash.


Other specifications of the Canon PowerShot S5IS include the DIGIC III. This means that the battery life and the efficiency are enhanced when you use the superior quality when taking pictures. When you want to take a family portrait the Face Detection Technology and Red-eye Correction will come in handy so you won’t have to use additional software to edit pictures anymore. To use the technology you just have to press the Shutter Button halfway and the face is automatically detected. And for multiple faces there is the Face Detection AF/AE, it also adjusts the flash and illumination is controlled to get rid of the darkened problems you usually encounter with a normal camera. The red-eye correction detects and corrects the red-eye; you can also do this manually.

There is a special technology used by Canon in digital cameras and that is iSAPS. This one works together with DIGIC III Image processor and together they improve the accuracy and speed in taking multiple pictures at once. The camera has 2.5-inch LCD screen to see the images big while you take them or visualizing them afterwards. The screen shows crisp and clear pictures and selecting commands from the menu is convenient even in low light with the Night Display.
