Canon announces the PowerShot SX130 IS, its latest super zoom digital compact camera to combine impressive imaging technology with family-friendly flexibility and value. Replacing the popular PowerShot SX120 IS, this new camera model offers a host of intelligent features to make it easier to capture important moments in both high-quality still images and High Definition movies. With its compact design, intuitive controls and long zoom lens, this is the perfect camera for those who want an easy-to-use, take-anywhere digital camera. Users are able to shoot amazing still images and video in any situation - from family gatherings, to landscapes, to close-up shots of distant subjects. 12.1 megapixel Canon PowerShot SX130 IS camera
Featuring a 12.1 Megapixel sensor for large, detailed prints, and DIGIC 4 image processing, the Canon PowerShot SX130 IS allows all the family to record special moments in outstanding quality. The 12x optical zoom ranges from wide angle (28mm) to telephoto (336mm), making the camera equally ideal for wide-angle group shots and taking on sightseeing trips. Canon’s integrated optical Image Stabilizer offers a three-stop advantage, making it easier to take great shots in low light with long exposures, and reducing the blur associated with camera-shake when shooting distant subjects at the telephoto end of the zoom. Capture HD videos with the Canon SX130 IS
The Canon PowerShot SX130 IS supports 720p HD video with stereo sound, allowing users to immediately switch from photos to high-quality video and back again with one convenient, compact camera. A quiet zoom motor allows the full lens focal range to be exploited whilst recording, and continuous autofocus ensures that moving subjects are sharp - providing the perfect tool for capturing school events, parties and family gatherings where it may be difficult to follow all of the action. The Canon PowerShot SX130IS supports the new SDXC memory cards, enabling up to 2TB of video and full-resolution stills to be stored without needing to change card. Features:
