Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS
Color is the name of the game with compact digital cameras, as more and more subcompact models debut not only in standby silver or no-nonsense black, but come in a host of vivid hues that make them as much a personality statement as an imaging tool. The Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS isn't about to be outdone at this game, as it comes in one of six color options, which include green, blue, hot pink, and a spicy orange in addition to the more modest black and silver options. But aside from its fashionable flair, the PowerShot SD1200 IS backs up its looks with true-blue Canon technology, from an intelligent Smart Auto mode to Face Detection to Optical Image Stabilization. It also features a capable 10-megapixel CCD and improved PureColor LCD monitor for even better image review.

The Canon SD1200 is definitely intended for those who want the luxury of a few manual exposure controls, but really want to let the camera do the work the majority of the time. Its Smart Auto mode senses available lighting, faces, color, and distance to select the best preset Scene mode it has to offer (one of 17). Alternatively, you can place it into standard Program mode, and set options like white balance and exposure compensation. But given the highly portable, fun nature of this digital camera, and the very good performance of its Auto mode, why would you? This is definitely the camera to throw into a bag or a pocket, head out the door, and just have some fun.
On the nuts and bolts side, the Canon PowerShot SD1200 is equipped with a fairly standard 3x optical zoom, encompassing a zoom range equivalent to 35-105mm. An additional 4x digital zoom is available as well. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer Technology is an automatic feature on the SD1200 IS, coming into play whenever the camera senses that an image could be blurry due to slight camera movement - such as minor shakes at full telephoto or in dark conditions where the shutter speed is a little too slow for safe hand-holding. Also built into the PowerShot SD1200 is Canon's powerful DIGIC 4 Image Processor, which has even more finely-honed Face Detection and subject tracking, and incorporates this into a Face Detection Self-timer option.
Tiny and super-compact, the Canon SD1200 measures only 3.48 x 2.16 x 0.86 inches (89 x 55 x 22mm) and weighs in at a trifling 4.23 ounces (120g). Definitely pocket friendly. The Canon SD1200 is currently available at a suggested retail price of US$229.99.
