Canon’s PowerShot SD900 squeezes 10-megapixel resolution and a 3X optical zoom into a curvy,
titanium body.
This champagne-colored digicam looks stylish and feels solid. At 6.7 ounces and 1.1 inches thick, it easily fit into our pocket. Our only complaint about the appearance is how easily the SD900 smudges. After only a few minutes of handling, the camera was loaded with fingerprints.
The 2.5-inch LCD is bright and fills most of this digicam’s rear. Unlike many point-and-shoots we’ve recently tested, Canon included an optical viewfinder, which is nice if you prefer to shoot more traditionally (and save on battery life in the process). All of the controls are on the right side of the LCD. We found switching modes and tweaking settings to be fairly simple.
The SD900 includes 11 scene modes, ranging from Kids & Pets to Aquarium. We tested several of these and were satisfied with the results. You can adjust the white balance, exposure, and ISO sensitivity, but beginners will be satisfied with the default Auto mode. :: LAPTOP Magazine • Canon PowerShot SD900 ::
