The Canon PowerShot SD630 Digital ELPH
is an ultracompact JeansPocket
Certified digital camera with an elegant molded
"Edge" concept, "as if it was sliced
from the PowerShot SD450 Digital ELPHs solid
design." It continues Canons tradition
of providing top-tier imaging technology in a
ultra-slim, ultra-compact and easy-to-use package.
The Canon SD630 has 6.0 megapixels resolution,
3x optical zoom, a F2.8 maximum aperture, and
-- a first for Canon -- an extra large 3.0-in.
LCD with 173,000 pixels resolution.
A new focused position display function
allows the LCD monitor to display simultaneously
a focused spot together with the recorded image.
When taking an image using 9-point AiAF function,
you can move the frame if multiple spots are focused.
You can also move the focused spot, which helps
verify whether the entire image is well focused.
A "Touch Control Dial" à-la-iPod
allows users to easily scroll through captured
images or change the camera's menu settings.
The DIGIC II and iSAPS Technology allows for
faster and more precise AF, AE and Auto White
Balance, as well as faster response times. A High
ISO Auto setting allows the use of a high ISO
up to ISO 800 to reduce camera shake in low-light
situations (albeit with increased noise).
The Canon Powershot SD630 Digital ELPH
delivers high performance in an elegant and stylish
ultra compact design.
