Canon Powershot SD20 5MP Ultra Compact Digital Camera (Midnight Blue)
The Canon Powershot SD20 is an aesthetically designed 5.0-megapixel camera with 6.5x digital zoom to express compactness and functional beauty. With 5.0 megapixels, you've got the resolution to capture and print every detail. The digital zoom lets you move you up close quickly, smoothly, and easily.
Elegance in colors
Fashion and photography converge in the brilliantly hued PowerShot SD20 Digital ELPH. Four novel new colors with refined surface finish: Garnet, Midnight Blue, Zen Gray, and Silver for the ultimate camera couture.
Sophisticated imaging technology for lifelike color and exacting detail
Exclusive Canon DIGIC Image Processor and iSAPS Technology allows for faster processing speed, excellent image quality, and crisp vibrant colors.
DIGIC Image Processor
Canon's exclusive DIGIC Image Processor revolutionized how you shoot digital by allowing the camera to process images faster and improving the accuracy of the autofocus. DIGIC also reduces the effects on noise in your images.
iSAPS Technology
iSAPS Technology is an entirely new scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal detabase of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
Five new Scene Modes and the Print/Share button for greater ease of use
Tough shooting situation? No problem. The PowerShot SD20 Digital ELPH has five pre-set Scene Modes that let you handle just about anything--perfectly.
Portrait
The camera sets a big aperture, zooms the lens and creatively blurs the background--automatically.
Landscape
For front to back sharpness, the camera sets a small aperture.
Night Snapshot
Now it's easy to properly expose the night scene--at the touch of a button.
Indoor
Get natural-looking color and shake-free performance even under artificial light.
Underwater
Capture the underwater world in true-to-life color.
Print/Share button
The SD20's Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the SD20 to a Canon Direct Photo Printer or PictBridge-supported printer, press the Print/Share button and print! Also use the Print/Share button to transfer images directly to a computer (Windows).
Print your own ID photos in 28 different sizes or use the Movie Print function to output multiple stills from a recorded movie on a single sheet using any Canon Compact photo printer.
Razor sharp images that automatically display right side up
High-precision 9-point AiAF for sharp photos every time and Intelligent Orientation Sensor automatically rotates images for playback.
With its nine-point AiAF, the PowerShot SD20 Digital ELPH gives you super-accurate focus you can count on--even if your subject isn't at the center of the frame. Once you've shot your picture, the Intelligent Orientation Sensor automatically rotates images to their correct orientation during playback.
