NEW Canon PowerShot SD30 Digital Camera Gold with Case

The Powershot SD30 includes a 2.4x optical zoom and embraces Canon's perpetual curve design. The sleek and compact Powershot SD30 comes with 5.0-megapixel resolution and DIGIC II processing for high image quality and a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface for fast transfer speeds. The supplied Camera Station allows for easy connectivity to the PC, printer, and television--perfect for viewing contemporary slide shows created by the camera. The Camera Station also charges the camera when docked.

Sleek, stylish, better
A first for Powershot cameras, the Powershot SD30 now features a 2.4x (f3.2-f5.4) optical zoom, with a high contrast Ultra High Refractive Index Aspherical lens for sharp results in a slim package. When combined with digital zoom, the Powershot SD30 delivers 10x magnification. The Powershot SD30's 5.0-megapixel sensor delivers the image quality required for printing up to 13 x 17-inch photo-quality prints. The new focusing system is both faster and more power efficient, making the auto focus more responsive and helping to extend the number of shots possible before charging the battery.

The Powershot SD30 maintains its small size whilst improving the user's shooting and reviewing experience with the larger 1.8-inch LCD monitor. Improvements in the user interface include larger animated icons and the addition of a world time zone display. The menu can also be displayed in 22 different languages.

A clever Camera Station
For fast and convenient charging, printing, downloading and connection to televisions and home cinema systems, the Powershot SD30 comes complete with a Camera Station (CS-DC1). The station acts as a dock, or cradle, for the camera, ensuring quick and easy connectivity without having to attach and reattach multiple cables. The supplied wireless controller allows the docked camera's playback to be operated remotely. This allows the new slideshow and playback features on the Powershot SD30 to be controlled from the comfort from the user's sofa when sharing photos and movies on television screens. When connected to both a direct printer and TV, users can view their images and use the print menu on screen to edit then print.

Advanced technology
The DIGIC II processor ensures that the images recorded have superb color quality, as well as giving the camera improved performance overall. iSAPS technology assesses the scene and adjusts the camera settings to achieve the optimum results. For rapid transfer of images, the Powershot SD30 utilises a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface.

Shooting modes and special effects
The Powershot SD30 features 9-point AiAF to keep even off-center subjects sharply in focus. With 16 different shooting modes, the camera's settings are optimized for a wide range of situations. A selection can be made from Auto, Manual, Macro, Portrait, Landscape, and Night Snapshot modes, or from the Scene Modes which now include an underwater setting, allowing users to take advantage of the optional All Weather Case (AW-DC40--waterproof to 3 meters). With the addition of My Colors, users of the Powershot SD30 can become more creative in their digital photography. Special effects such as Color Swap or Custom Colors can be performed in camera while shooting both stills and movies. Previously, this level of image enhancement was only possible after downloading to a PC, and using specialized software.

Intelligent Orientation Sensor
The Powershot SD30 incorporates an Intelligent Orientation Sensor that automatically rotates images for review, regardless of the orientation of the camera. The sensor also activates the FUNC/SET button at the rear of the camera to act as the shutter release when it detects that the camera is in the vertical orientation. This allows the operator to shoot stills in portrait orientation, using one hand, whilst maintaining camera balance.

More than just photos
Users can record movies with sound up to 1 GB or 60 minutes long, whichever is reached first. Digital zoom can be used whilst shooting. As well as being able to select from VGA and QVGA (at 10 frames per second and 20 frames per second, respectively), the Compact Movie mode (QQVGA/15 frames per second) is designed to make sharing movies via e-mail as simple as possible.

Printing images
When used in combination with Canon's new Compact Photo Printer Selphy CP710 and Canon's Ink and Paper Set (KP-108IP), prints can be produced very inexpensively. With its optional Rechargeable Battery Pack (NB-CP2L), the Compact Photo Printer Selphy CP710 is highly portable, just like the compact Powershot SD30, making them ideal partners. Printing via a Selphy CP Compact Photo Printer also allows the user to print handy ID prints and movie prints. When connected to the latest range of PictBridge compatible PIXMA printers (also released today) image enhancement is possible with functions including Noise Reduction and Vivid Photo, as well as the new Face Brightener feature.

Printing of images without having to connect to a PC is also made simpler via the Print/Share button, which also acts as an easy upload button for Windows XP and Mac OS X systems.

Comprehensive software
The Powershot SD30 comes bundled with the following Canon software:

• ZoomBrowser EX 5.5, PhotoRecord 2.2 (Windows), ImageBrowser 5.5 (Macintosh): For easy image download, storage, and retrieval, as well as management of image layout and printing.

• Movie Edit Task: For easy editing and enhancement of movie footage recorded on the Powershot SD30 and easily accessed through ZoomBrowser and ImageBrowser.
