Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12 1MP Digital Camera - Important Features

Most people love small digital cameras for their compactness and convenient portability. What they do not realize is that they cannot shoot the kind of quality pictures that the professional cameramen do with their large-size cameras.

The reason for this is that the voluminous professional cameras are equipped with large number of features that enable them to produce quality pictures and videos. The same features cannot be compacted into small cameras.

Canon has bridged this gap between quality and size by its latest offer, Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12 1MP Digital Camera, which was released in mid-August this year. It has bettered the quality of its very successful predecessor, SX10IS model, which has been a chart buster since in its appearance in the market.

One of the best features of the camera is its ultra-powerful zoom. It is equipped with a 28-50mm wide-angle lens that has 20x Optical Zoom and a focal length of 5.0-100mm. It allows you to shoot any view from almost any angle-from a wide angle to a telephoto.

It comes with a12.1MP megapixels image sensor and uses DIGIC 4 processor to produce excellent videos. The 12.1 megapixels of resolution enables you to edit any shot. You can make it large or small without sacrificing its crispness and clarity even if you print the photos.

Most cameras produce fuzzy and blurred pictures as they get shaken in course of shooting. The SX20IS 12 1MP Digital Camera comes with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that detects and rectifies the problems caused by the unsteadiness automatically.

You do not need feel nervous while shooting with this camera even if you do not have a flash. You will get crisp and excellent pictures shot by the professional photographers. The camera also boasts of several other excellent features that characterize the high end professional cameras.
