Great Innovation The Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

Canon recently announced a new addition to its PowerShot range, the PowerShot SX20 IS. It is the next step for the SX10 IS. It is a digital compact camera with a 20x wide-angle(28mm) super zoom lens. The camera is very easy to use. Its lens features both an Ultrasonic Motor and a Voice Coil Motor, which advances the focus and zooming. The zoom feature enables photographer to get closer to their target. It has a 2.5 inch LCD display, which clearly displays all menus and controlling options.

The PowerShot SX20 IS has 12.1 Megapixel image sensor, which helps in capturing each moment in detail. The camera gives enormous flexibility while framing the pictures. One of the key features of PowerShot SX20 IS is that it can record HD video at 720p resolution, also it includes a dedicated movie button for instant access to movies in still mode and instant stills shooting while movie recording. It also includes an HDMI mini port, which makes it easier to playback footage on compatible TVs. Canon has used DIGIC 4 image processing for high image quality and advanced noise reduction.

IS stands for Image Stabiliser. The camera uses IS technology, which helps reduce camera shake and image blur. This technology helps while shooting in low-light conditions. The camera uses enhanced version of Canon's Smart Auto Mode with Scene Detection Technology. This technology detects faces, distance, motion, colour and brightness in the frame, with the camera selecting from 1 of 22 scene variables to optimise settings for the best results.

It also offers Contrast Correction technology. It includes an enhanced version of i-Contrast i.e. Canon's Intelligent Contrast Correction technology, which is ideal for shooting in improper lighting situations. i-Contrast optimises the dynamic range so as to prevent highlight blowout, while retaining shadow detail. This makes it ideal for use with outdoor portraits, in which case extremes of shadow and sun can make creating balanced images difficult.

The camera also features Face Detection, Face Self-Timer and Auto Red-Eye Correction, which makes the shooting even easier. The camera combats blur with Motion Detection Technology and Servo AF/AE, which enables users to select a subject in the frame while the camera continually adjusts focus and exposure. Continuous Shooting AF adjusts auto focus between shots - so users can capture action with clarity which is ideal for shooting birds in flight, or high-octane sporting action.

The camera helps the users by itself, as helpful Hints and Tips are incorporated within the user interface. Which means the camera interacts with the user. Wide range of accessories are available for this digital camera.

The camera can be used in a wide variety of shooting situations from macro level to street photography. The PowerShot SX20 IS is certainly one camera that has set very high standards for any other models yet to be released further.
