Sitting at the top of the company’s Digital IXUS range, Canon’s Digital IXUS 900 Ti (PowerShot SD 
900 Digital ELPH in the US) is a stunning piece of engineering. Finished in precision-crafted titanium with the attractive Perpetual Curve (i.e. rounded) design of its predecessors, the slender Digital IXUS 900 Ti (Best Current Price: £245) offers a class-leading resolution of 10-Megapixel resolution, ultra-compact 3x optical zoom lens and Canon’s latest DIGIC III image processor with Noise Reduction technology.
The latest DIGIC III also features Face Detection AF/AE, a new Canon technology that automatically detects faces in people shots and optimises focus and exposure accordingly. Other key advancements include a Touch Control Dial, 2.5-inch wide angle LCD screen and ISO 1600 shooting. More creative photographers should also appreciate the Digital Tele-Converter and Safety Zoom for extra telephoto reach, 18 shooting modes (including XGA movies), ‘My Category’ automatic image tagging, and a range of optional accessories - including an underwater case.
