Product description from manufacturer
With the PowerShot S230, you've got the best of both worlds - the compact size and high style of the Digital ELPH series plus the higher resolution of a 3-megapixel camera. It's the combination you've been looking for! With its 3.2 megapixel CCD, the PowerShot S230 offers the superior resolution you need to create images of extraordinary depth, detail and brilliance. Canon's high-quality 2x optical zoom lens allows you to close in on the action, while the 3.2x digital zoom allows for a combined 6.4x zoom letting you capture intimate details that might have been missed with another camera. The factors that attribute to the S230's outstanding image quality doesn't end with the high resolution CCD or the superior optical zoom lens. Canon has packed into this camera's compact body the new DIGIC Imaging Processor, for even greater picture quality and faster processing speed. Then, Canon took it a step further by incorporating iSAPS (Intelligent Scene Analysis based on Photographic Space) technology for more accurate autofocus, auto exposure, and auto white balance. The PowerShot S230 is one of the few digital cameras to feature wide area 9-point autofocus for taking crisp, sharp images no matter where the subject appears in the image frame. Now take movie clips up to 3 minutes long with the S230! Both picture and sound quality have been improved and an editing feature allows you to delete unwanted scenes during playback. The S230's Photo Effect mode lets you do more with your still images. Choose from Low Sharpening, Vivid Color, Sepia, Neutral, and Black & White. The S230's Intelligent Orientation Sensor senses whether your images were shot horizontally or vertically. So, when you play them back on the LCD screen or download them to your computer, your images are always right side up. Forget about connecting the S230 to a computer just to print. You can choose from Card Photo Printers CP-100 or CP-10, or from Bubble Jet Direct Photo Printers S830D and S530D for full color and full size prints. One connection is all that's needed.
