Canon PowerShot S50 Digital Camera Features
Superb Detail and Vivid Color 5.0 Megapixel CCD
The PowerShot S50 produces exquisitely detailed images thanks to a high-resolution 5.0 Megapixel CCD. Primary color filters incorporated in the S50 also provides vivid and realistic color without the noise associated with other color filters.
Compact High Resolution Lens with Powerful Zoom 12x Combined Zoom
Close in on all the action with the S50's powerful zoom. The high resolution 3x optical lens takes you in close and then you can zoom up to 12x using the 4.0x digital zoom.
Two Methods Keep You in Focus 9-point AiAF and FlexiZone AF/AE
The PowerShot S50's 9-point AiAF lets you focus your subject no matter where it appears in the viewfinder. For more freedom, FlexiZone AF/AE let you select which part of the frame you wish to focus on without moving your camera. Flexzone AF is available in the P, Tv, Av and M Shooting Modes.
Faster, Better Images DIGIC and iSAPS Technology
The S50's DIGIC Imaging Processor revolutionizes how you shoot digital by allowing the camera to process images faster and improving the accuracy of the autofocus. DIGIC also reduces the effects on noise in your images.
iSAPS technology is an entirely new scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC Imaging Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.
Longer Movies You Can Edit Right on the Camera Enhanced Movie Mode
The S50's improved movie mode allows you to take movies up to 3 minutes long! Movie quality has also been greatly improved over previous models. You can even edit the length of movies or cut out scenes right on the camera.
