- High ISO to Reduce Image Blur and Expand Low-light Shooting
- The PowerShot SD950 IS features ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.
- Photographic Flexibility
- The PowerShot SD950 IS offers photographers a range of shooting modes, including Special Scene modes such as Aquarium - which turns off the flash, raises the ISO and adjusts the white balance to return quality images when shooting aquatic life through glass tanks. Users can expand their creativity further with My Colors, which allows artistic photo effects to be applied in-camera both during and after shooting.

This high-resolution screen offers a crisp, clear picture and wider viewing angle to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient. For accurate framing without the LCD, the camera retains a real-image optical viewfinder - useful in difficult lighting situations or when battery power is running low.
- Image Management Features
- Image management is made easier by My Category, an addition that automatically assigns each photo with a category - People, Scenery or Event - depending on the shooting mode used and whether Face Detection was activated. These customizable categories are also recognized by Canon's ZoomBrowser EX software, which is included for easy PC-based image management.

The small size and excellent battery life are outstanding. I love the 12Mpixel photos which compare well with film for enlargements. It handles sharp contast boundaries well with no JPEG mosquito noise or artifacts common to other digital cameras. Viewfinder is a big plus in bright sun light or moving objects. The panoramic stitch mode is fun and easy to use for really wide pictures. I have had several digital cameras in the past but have always gone back to film cameras because those digital camera's low light performance, poor battery life, limited picture detail, and JPEG noise and artifact problems left me unimpressed. The Canon SD950 excels in all those areas, and I finally feel that I have a handy little camera that is on par with ASA 100 film. I also tried a 15 second exposure with a tripod in a very dimly lit room and was amazed that there was no noise whatsoever even when I zoomed in a high magnification. I used the vivid mode to get some great sunset photos with an bright orange/red hue. The face focus mode works most of the time, but it will get confused with people with beards, glasses, or people who are looking a little to the side. The digital macro mode works very well from a couple of inches away. The optical stabilization is fantastic for slow shutter speeds. I experimented some with the ISO settings, and the noise starts to show up about ISO 400. Typically I will use ISO 80, 12Mpixel, and super fine for maximum detail, and I have been extremely happy with the photos that I get. It is also small enough to be easily carried around most the time which is not true of my film SLR camera that is far more bulky. The 1/1.7 sensor is 75% bigger than the SD870's 1/2.5 sensor. In other words, you are not giving up anything to go with 12Mpixels. You get the ability to crop pictures more and create bigger enlargements than would be possible with an 8Mpixel camera. The only downside is that the shutter and aperature cannot be manually adjusted. The aperature seems to be set based solely on the telescopic zoom (F2.8, F3.2, F3.5, F4.0, F5.0, F4.5, F5.8) for wide to telephoto. Only the shutter speed and ISO seem to change for the exposure. There are some useful modes such as portrait for softening the background and kids/pets mode for subjects that move around a lot. I have been extremely pleased with this little camera and would gladly recommend it to others.

Any point and shoot camera is going to involve trade-offs. Generally, this is a good camera as long as you are using it for shooting outside in bright light or inside with the flash. Otherwise, it has very poor performance in low-light. I was inside on a bright day and the "camera shake" indicator lit up while I was shooting. The shot turned out blurry - even with the image stabilizer engaged. This happened because the camera was using a 1/15 shutter speed at f2.8! By comparison, my SLR metered the same shot at 1/250 at f4 and was super sharp. Yes, an SLR will always look better, but this point-and-shoot costs [$].If you use the flash indoors, you often get washed out foreground subjects and murky backgrounds. There is a slight shutter lag, which won't bother you for posed shots or landscapes, but it's useless for photographing an on-the-move toddler! Plus, if you use the flash, it can add an extra second or more to the delay. Finally, the wide angle is pretty shallow - I kept having to back up from my subjects. It's a handsome camera that takes decent shots under the right conditions. It's just a shame that it performs so poorly under the other 50% of the time you might want to use it.

Comments about Canon Powershot SD950 IS Digital Elph Digital Camera:
I'm a digital SLR user and have had 3 Canon cameras starting with the EOS Rebel, then graduated to the 20-D and now have the 40-D. Love my SLR!! Now, my wife has never had a digital camera before, loves to be the paparatzi at any event, but dubious about what she thought was the complexity of digital cameras. Her old film point and shoot was on it's last legs and she was showing some mild interest in digital cameras so I looked at the various Canon offerings. I have always loved Canon's in-camera Digic processing program so I looked at their most advanced for point and shoot. The SD950 IS looked like it fit the bill...compact, Digic processor, image stabilization, fairly short shutter release times, and got good reviews on the web camera review sites. B&H has always been a reliable source for my photo needs so of course I ordered through them. When I gave my wife the 950 she liked it's size and look, right off the bat. Then I showed her how to use it and she was in love. Fast, easy to use, great battery life...and best of all..great photos!! This is a 12.1 MP camera and it shows when you enlarge in a photo processing program. Proper exposures with fast and steady focus make for shots with very little to edit. The SD950 IS has acutally made me a bit jealous as my 40D is just a 10.1MP..I love it but may have to start thinking about trading up to the 50D! You certainly get what you pay for with the SD950 IS, in a very compact package.

Comments about Canon Powershot SD950 IS Digital Elph Digital Camera:
I evaluated a lot of cameras for my trip to Nepal and settled on the 950. The pics are excellent and easy to download with the cables. The high resolution video is easy to operate and produces great results with good audio. I especially like the touch screen function ring that appears on the display as opposed to searching for a physical button on the camera body. Once you use it, you'll like it.There are only a few minor complaints (the zoom doesn't work on the high res video mode and the playback display button is small) but short of spending $1000 for a high def video camcorder, this little elph did extremely well in the Himalayas, especially for the money. The white balance did not function that well when photographing dark forests against stark mountain scenary but it might have been my lack of expertise. Or it could be a drawback of the compact digitals that don't have the depth of field that larger cameras have.I was planning to replace my S1 with an S3 but it was not in stock at the time. You can see evidence of my camera's quality at [@] although I have reduced the photo qualities for the website. Follow the link to my YouTube video for an example of the 950's video capabilities.
