The Canon PowerShot SD970 IS Digital ELPH is a 12.1 megapixel camera that's fun and easy to use. This stylish camera has rounded lines, a bronze finish, 5x optical zoom lens and Canon's sharp 3" PureColor II LCD to bring form and function together. The SD970 IS features an intuitive set of controls to help you capture the highest quality photos and HD video. New Active Display Technology makes reviewing images fun and easy. With a tilt and a shake of the camera, you can quickly review your images; no need for clumsy buttons or control dials. Industry-leading optics, Smart Auto image capture, and Canon's legendary DIGIC 4 Image Processor make capturing your world easier than ever before!

From a wide, floral landscape to a night on the town with friends, the SD970 intelligently captures your memories--maximizing quality while minimizing effort.

• 3" PureColor LCD II: Framing your photos couldn't be easier than with the SD970's bright, crisp 3" LCD. Smooth color transitions, high-resolution, and scratch-resistant, anti-reflective coatings make composing and viewing effortless, even under bright sunlight.

• Active Display Technology: Active Display Technology utilizes the SD970's accelerometer for fun and intuitive playback of your photos. To browse forward, give the camera a shake. To advance continuously, tilt the camera on an angle and watch your photos splash across the screen. Finding your favorite photos has never been so cool!

• HD Video Recording: The PowerShot SD970 captures beautiful, broadcast-quality HD video! From live concerts to a laid back afternoon in the park, the SD970 is the HD video camera that you can, and will, take with you everywhere.
