Editorial Review:
The PowerShot SD10 lets you express your personal style with a choice of cool colors and textures, a super-sleek size and a 4.0 Megapixel design that gives you the high resolution images that make a big impression.The ultra-thin PowerShot SD10 is yours in a choice of four richly textured colors - choose the one that suits your personality. There's Black buffed to a high-gloss, White with iridescent pearl coating, Bronze with a radiant hair-line finish or Silver with a true metallic feel. With the imaging power of 4.0 Megapixels and Canon's exclusive DIGIC and iSAPS technology, it's easy to produce images of outstanding clarity, detail and real-life color. The DIGIC Imaging Processor speeds image handling, so autofocus is more accurate, fluid and natural. iSAPS, Canon's digital scene-recognition technology, teams up with the DIGIC for faster more accurate focus and exposure, plus better white balance. With its high-resolution Canon lens, the PowerShot SD10 lets you create breath-taking pictures filled with life's rich details and bold, natural hues. The 5-point AiAF delivers precise focus automatically, no matter how you frame your subject, so you can shoot with real confidence. When you're shooting from afar, Canon's sophisticated 5.7x Digital Zoom moves you in with the touch of a button. For extreme close-ups, Canon's Super Macro Mode gives you perfect focus even when your subject is just 1.18 inches from the lens. Using the camera's Quick Shot Function, you're free to shoot immediately - without pause or lag - simply by pressing the shutter button. The PowerShot SD10 even optimizes focus so you'll never miss another great shot. With Movie Mode, you can create movies with sound - up to 3 minutes long - and view them on the camera's LCD. A special Replay Function lets you Fast Forward, Rewind and more. Plus, you can even edit out unwanted scenes.
The smallest Digital Elph yet, the petite and undeniably chic Canon PowerShot SD10 packs a lot of digital photography power. It features a 4-megapixel resolution, movie mode with audio for up to 3 minutes of video, 5-point AiAF, and a fixed focus lens with 5.7x digital zoom. This model comes in stylish black, but the SD10 also comes in white, bronze, and silver.
Optics and Resolution The PowerShot SD10 offers a 4-megapixel CCD sensor that produces images up to 2272 x 1704 pixels for photo-quality 11 x 14 inch enlargements. Other resolution modes include 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480. The fixed focus lens has a focal length of 2.8mm. The SD10 enables you to get closer to your subject with its 5.7x digital zoom. The SD10 also features Canon's nine-point AiAF system for focusing accuracy and shutter speeds of 15 to 1/1,500 second.
Movie Mode In addition to taking still photos, the SD10 can also record up to 3 minutes of video with sound. It has two resolution settings: 320 x 240, and 160 x 120. You can record for up to 3 minutes per clip in either resolution. Note that you cannot use the optical zoom when in movie mode. The included 32 MB memory card can hold 85 seconds of video at the highest setting.
More Features The SD10 features a fast start-up time of just 1.4 seconds, and a shot-to-shot speed of 1.5 seconds. The Quick Shot feature lets you activate the shutter immediately in one stroke after you press the shutter release button; the SD10 even optimizes the focus automatically.
Canon's DIGIC (DIGital Imaging Core) processor ensures excellent color rendition and white balance for every shot, as well as super-fast auto focusing, noise-free imaging, and advanced flash exposure performance. Even before the shutter release is pressed, the built-in iSAPS (intelligent scene analysis based on photographic space) technology is analyzing the scene and making camera adjustments to deliver fast focusing and perfect exposures.
Other features include:
1.5-inch LCD monitor (no viewfinder)
Built-in flash with Auto, Red-eye Reduction On/Off, Slow-sync modes

The best camera I have ever had... I will buy another Canon Elph when this one finally dies. With the option of going up to a 1 GB SD card, the future is wide open. It is possible to buy a lesser brand 4MP camera for a lot less, but the extra Canon quality is worth paying for if you plan to have your camera for a long time.
great small camera let me note that if i were rating this camera among all other small cameras, i would be giving it a 5. however, among all cameras in general, including giant ones as big as your arm that cost twice as much, it understandably gets a 4. this is a great little camera. If you are in the market for a camera that you want to carry around in your pocket, this is it, stop looking. you won't find one that takes better pictures that is even close to this size. It still has a nice screen on it too, which i like.... more info
state-of-the-art little cam! i was completely and absolutely dazzled by how powerful and small this camera is. i've seen smaller cameras in the market, like the infamous casio exilim, but as far as i'm concerned, canon has truly achieved the smallest size a camera could have WITHOUT prejudicing its quality. i've previously owned a canon powershot s110, which has only about 2MP, and i truly loved it. i was almost completely satisfied with my s110, as its image quality was stupendous: the only problems i had were regarding the... more info
VERY CLOSE TO PERFECT I purchased this camera last Christmas because I wanted a 4 mega pixel camera in a sleek lightweight body. I always use Amazon for the reviews which I read before making a buying decision and I was not disappointed. The unit is great. I just returned from Hawaii and took many pics in varying light situations and they all look super. Colors are vibrant and properly rendered. I agree that red eye is a problem though. Being middle aged, I would have appreciated a bigger screen. That is the single largest... more info
