The New Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Camera

The New Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Camera

8.0-megapixel Digital Elph Camera with 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilizer

With 8.0-megapixel technology at its heart, the Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital Elph Camera brings you high-resolution images that maintain their sharpness and vivid impact even when they’re enlarged and cropped. The 3x optical zoom is a clear winner when it comes to getting up close and personal. And Canon’s invaluable Optical Image Stabilizer reduces the blur of camera movement, even in tricky, low-light situations.
