Canon’s PowerShot D10 promises not to disappoint in the advanced technology stakes. High-quality shots are possible with the camera boasting a 12.1 megapixel CCD sensor and a DiG!C 4 processor, which ensures sharp images and true-to-life colour. An impressive 3x Optical Zoom allows users to get close to the action, essential when capturing the vibrant marine world while on a snorkelling adventure. Furthermore, Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer compensates for shaking and vibration when swimming, skiing or surfing, ensuring images captured on the move are blur-free.

The PowerShot D10 features an exciting new Canon technology, Intelligent Auto. Intelligent Auto combines a new Scene Detection technology with Canon’s Face Detection, Noise Reduction and Motion Detection technologies all in the one Automatic mode to ensure that users can easily capture great shots every time.

The new Scene Detection technology makes capturing stunning shots easy by automatically detecting people, distance, brightness, colour and movement information to determine the shooting scene, such as Portrait, Night, Macro, Backlit or even Sunset. The technology then carries out the optimum image processing for that scene, ensuring superior quality images.
