Beautiful Design in Pure Titanium
Used in aircraft engines for its high strength and light weight, pure titanium gives the PowerShot SD950 Digital ELPH impeccable presence and style, while its curved design perfectly nestles in the palm of your hand, and is a stunning aesthetic achievement. . Its strength and anti corrosion properties combine with the camera's high build quality offer durability without compromising size or weight.
12.1 Megapixel Resolution
The 12.1 Megapixel CCD sensor provides enough resolution for stunning, deeply detailed images and quality poster size prints with room for creative cropping.
3.7x Optical Zoom Lens with Optical Image Stabilizer Technology
The camera's powerful 3.7x optical zoom utilizes Canon's industry dominance in optic technology to deliver quick response, brilliant clarity and pure, true color. The lens is also equipped with Canon's acclaimed Optical Image Stabilizer Technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake so you'll get the steady, crisp, brilliant images - under just about any shooting conditions.
DIGIC III Processor with Face Detection AF/AE
Delivering fast, responsive camera performance and superb image rendering, the DIGIC III processor also drives Canon's landmark Face Detection technology that ensures accurate and bright people shots by automatically detecting faces in a scene and optimizing focus and exposure accordingly. Furthermore, the processor incorporates iSAPS scene-recognition technology using an internal database of thousands of different photos to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
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.
Advanced Video Recording
The camera's movie functions include 30fps VGA recording with sound, and Canon's unique Intelligent Orientation Sensor automatically rotates vertically shot movies for playback on camera, PC or TV via the integrated AV Out connection. You can also shoot extremely high quality full-motion movies at 60 fps QVGA (320 x240), and there is even a 15 fps Compact Movie Mode that's ideal for creating movies you can attach to emails.
High-Resolution Movie Mode
The PowerShot SD950 IS allows you to record extremely smooth, high-resolution movie clips in XGA (1024 x 768 pixels) at 15 fps or select from VGA (640 x 480 pixels) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) with a frame rate of 30 fps for recording up to 1 hour or 4GB. Plus the Compact Movie Mode (QQVGA; 160 x 120 pixels) records at 15 fps for up to 3 minutes, and a time-lapse mode.

High-resolution 2.5" LCD Display
The bright 2.5" LCD screen features a wide viewing angle and an anti-reflective coating for comfortable image framing and viewing, with a screen resolution of 230,000 pixels, and users can select the Image Inspection Tool to display a magnified section next to each captured shot straight 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.
Easy, Flexible Direct Printing Options
The Print/Share button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the camera to a Canon Direct Photo Printer or PictBridge supported printer, press the Print/Share button and print.
