For stunning photography with point-and-shoot ease, look no further
than Canon's EOSEOS 1000D. The EOSEOS 1000D brings staggering
technological innovation to the masses. It features Canon's EOS
Integrated Cleaning System, Live View Function, a powerful DIGIC III
Image Processor, plus a new 12.2-megapixel CMOS Sensor and is available
in a kit with the new EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens with Optical Image
Stabilizer. The EOSEOS 1000D's refined, ergonomic design includes a new
3.0-inch LCD monitor, compatibility with SD and SDHC Memory cards and
new accessories that enhance every aspect of the photographic
experience. |
 |
| Take
the plunge. Dive into the world of quality photography with the
friendly new EOS 1000D. Featuring Canon's own 10.1-megapixel CMOS
sensor, this new EOS transforms ordinary snaps into sharp, beautifully
expressive photographs. The APS-C sensor has a convenient 1.6
conversion ratio and delivers stunning, lifelike images. Its efficient
microlens array allows a wide ISO range of 100 to 1600, giving you the
freedom to choose the right imaging option depending on environment or
subject. |
 |
|
Two autofocus modes are available for Live View shooting. In rapidly
changing environments, a quick autofocus mode lets you capture all the
action with only a brief blackout between shots by accelerating
autofocus response (Quick mode). Another easily selected mode allows
uninterrupted viewing (Live mode) while shooting. And for advanced
users, there is Remote Live View shooting, which lets you control the
EOS 1000D from a computer running bundled EOS Utility software. |

dull, underexposed shots into crisp, vivid photographs with Auto
Lighting Optimizer. This smart feature examines exposure and contrast
at the time of shooting. If an image is too dark or lacks contrast,
Auto Lighting Optimizer boosts brightness and contrast to produce more
pleasing results. Auto Lighting Optimizer works in AE modes and when
shooting with flash. |

A wonderfully compact and lightweight design — the lightest in the EOS
DIGITAL series — makes the EOS 1000D an easy take-along companion for
all your outings. Its diminutive size does not hinder usability,
however, as it maintains the same intuitive operability for which EOS
is renowned. Additionally, compatibility with popular SD cards and
high-capacity SDHC cards lets you move up to the world of EOS and still
use memory cards from your current compact digital camera. |

Shoot amazingly crisp HD footage with an unbelievably small camcorder
that lives up to the Sony name. The HDR-TG1 Handycam® camcorder records
Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution video from a lightweight, slim body
crafted from pure titanium. It's tough enough for everyday HD video
shooting and perfect for travel with its compact size that won't take
up much room in your bag. The stylish design incorporates a Premium
Hard Coating for superior resistance to even the smallest scratches. It
records to convenient Memory Stick PRO Duo media, and Sony's ClearVid
CMOS Sensor (with Exmor derived technology) and BIONZ image processor
provide spectacular video and stunning 4.0 megapixel still images. Face
Detection technology is also included, which automatically finds and
enhances faces for beautiful results. |
 |
Sony's newly designed CMOS image sensor delivers bright, vivid, and
spectacularly detailed 2.3 megapixel (effective) video footage, as well
as 4.0 megapixel still images -- all with prolonged battery life. Exmor
technology captures images with high resolution and high sensitivity.
In addition, the advanced Sony BIONZ image processor improves camera
response time and screens out noise so the signal from each pixel is as
pure as possible. |
 |
Made possible by the BIONZ image processing engine, Face Detection
technology recognizes up to 8 faces anywhere in the frame and
automatically controls focus, exposure, and color to help capture
smiling faces brightly and clearly. Face Detection technology also
helps make skin tones look natural without affecting other colors in
the image. |
 |
Featuring Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator, the built-in zoom microphone
focuses audio recording on your subjects in sync with the camera's zoom
lens, helping memories ring true with clear dialogue and crisp,
discrete sounds. |
 |
By increasing the record rate from 60 fields per second (fps) to 240
fps for 3 seconds allowing you to capture 3 seconds of fast motion and
play the video back in 12 seconds. This is great for analyzing a golf
swing or a viewing a bird in flight. In addition, record an audio track
to narrate what is being seen during the video. |

The EXILIM Pro EX-F1 incorporates a new high speed CMOS sensor and high
speed LSI processor. After building in 6.0 million effective pixels and
a 12X optical zoom, the developers focused on achieving a burst
shooting speed capability that was hitherto unheard of. Using the
camera's ultra-high speed burst shooting for still images or its high
speed movie recording mode, users can capture a split second's movement
with greater detail than before, allowing them to catch each decisive
moment, and even motion that the human eye cannot ordinarily perceive. |
 |
|
Using the still image burst mode, users can shoot at an ultra fast 60
frames per second. In burst mode, the frame rate can also be varied
from between 1 and 60 frames per second while shooting. Up to 60 shots
at can be taken at once, so 60 shots per second for one second, or 5
shots per second for 12 seconds, are possible. |
 |
|
The EXILIM Pro EX-F1 can record high speed movie footage of motion too
fast for the human eye, for ultra slow motion playback. Users can
select a recording speed of 300 fps, 600 fps or 1,200 fps. There is
also a Movie Button that lets users quickly start movie recording
without first switching from still image mode. |
 |
|
The camera features Full High-Definition movie recording capability.
Users can record beautiful movies at a screen size of 1920x1080 pixels,
at a rate of 60 fields per second. The camera can be connected to an HD
compatible television with a separately available HDMI cable to enjoy
viewing movies. |
12X oprical Zoom And Anti-shake
CMOS
shift anti-shake makes it possible to shoot beautiful, blur-free
images, even when shooting at 12X zoom. Now you can move in on faraway
subjects for intimate, natural looking close-ups without worrying about
image blur. |

A590 IS features 8-megapixel CCD, 4x optical zoom lens, ISO 1600 high
sensitivity and Canon's advanced Optical Image Stabilizer (IS). With
the new Face Detection White Balance technology, Motion Detection
Technology that supports Intelligent ISO Speed Setting and precise AF
Points selection, PowerShot A590 IS satisfies the needs of users under
all shooting situations. |
 |
| The
strengthened Face Detection Technology of PowerShot A590 IS features a
brand new Face Detection White Balance function. Coupled with the high
computing speed DIGIC III imaging processor, the camera can identify
and focus on human faces in the picture and optimize the white balance
setting and exposure for the detected object, ensuring the best
portraits.
Face Detection Technology can track up
to 9 faces by pushing half way on the shutter. It automatically detects
the contour of a face to adjust flash exposure and through its new
additional function of Face Detection White Balance to adjust to the
optimum white balance setting according to the subject's skin tone.
This can guarantee the best effect and avoid under-exposure or
over-exposure even the subjects are dressed in whatever color or are
not located at the center of the frame, and ensure the captured faces
in natural skin tone even shooting in dark or light backgrounds or in
environment being lit by lights with different color temperatures. |
 |
Furthermore, PowerShot A590 IS both feature a new Face Select and Track
function that enables the user to manually select and track an
individual face detected in frame. It ensures to capture the finest
facial expression of an individual, especially good for taking group
photo. |
 |
To
satisfy needs of exposure under dark environment or in circumstances
where flashes are not allowed, PowerShot A590 IS provide up to ISO 1600
for shooting at night or in poor illumination situation. The high ISO
speed is also perfect for capturing moving subjects. |
|
 |
Image Stabilizer Technology keeps your shots blur-free, even in low
light and at the long end of the zoom range. Miniature gyroscopic
sensors detect motion, then send a corrective signal, effectively
reducing camera shake. |
| 2.5" High-quality LCD
PowerShot
A590 IS incorporate a 8-megapixel CCD respectively that allows detailed
