Call it Canon caché, or ELPH excellence, but the newest, 7.1 megapixel entry into Canon's legendary line of thin, trim, Digital ELPH cameras – the PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH - continues to push the envelope of easy image excellence, without leaving a telltale bump or bulge when discretely deposited in a pocket or purse.

Indeed, the SD750 Digital ELPH is set to take its proven places out and about, from the high profile red carpet walkways of premieres and parties and the scintillating stylista demands of special nights on the town to cool and casual anywhere/anytime outings.

The PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH builds on Canon's original and iconic box and circle design – now so frequently replicated by others – while maintaining their own individual ELPH identity. The PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH camera design features artfully sculpted contours, evocative etched surfaces and even the option of dual-tone, silver and midnight matte black face and full-black back panel that blends seamlessly with its large and newly enhanced three-inch LCD display.

DIGIC III
The "brain" of this new Digital ELPH is DIGIC III, the newest iteration of Canon's ultra-efficient (and proprietary) image processor. The DIGIC III Image Processor accounts for the camera's higher performance levels including faster start up, autofocus and shutter response times, improved image quality and more efficient power consumption; resulting in extended battery life under typical shooting conditions.

With Canon's new Face Detection AF/AE/FE technology, the camera can detect, lock on and track multiple human faces in a scene simply by pressing the shutter button halfway. The face detection algorithm automatically prioritizes and selects faces and not simply the closest object (based on Canon's Intelligent Scene Analysis/iSAPS technology). It will then optimize the focus, exposure, and flash to ensure the best possible results. Working in concert with Face Detection, the "Red-eye Correction" feature helps to detect and correct red-eye during playback mode. Images can be corrected manually while viewing photos on the LCD screen. Canon's new Face Detection Technology makes for even easier picture taking moments, helping users to ensure in-focus smiles, and assist in the elimination of overexposed faces.

Thanks to the DIGIC III Image Processor's more aggressive noise reduction algorithm, the PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH is able to shoot at ISO equivalent speed ratings from 80 to as high as 1600. This increased sensitivity at the top-end allows the cameras to utilize faster shutter speeds, significantly reducing the effects of camera shake and subject movement during hand held or low-light photography. In addition, the SD750 offers users the option of Canon's new "Auto ISO Shift" feature which, at the touch of a button, can accurately increase the ISO up to 800, in order to help offset camera shake due to low-light or unsteady shooting conditions.

The camera's big and bright 230,000 pixel LCD screens feature Canon's new PureColor LCD and are constructed with a new multi-level coating that reduces glare, suitable for brightly lit environments. In addition, the new PureColor LCD offers a layer of protection to that extra large three-inch LCD screen on the SD750 Digital ELPH camera. The multi-level coating also resists scratches, smudges and fingerprints.

Among the distinguishing features of the PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH cameras are its boldly sculpted lines and spiral etchings. Departing from the familiar edges and planes that represent ELPH design, these smooth contours create an integrated "solid form" shape that is at once, comfortable to the hand and appealing to the eye. The PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH camera features a new "Touch Control Dial" on the rear panel that provides easy, fingertip access to many operations including mode selection, setting ISO speed and other value settings. As with all Digital ELPH cameras, the PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH camera is lightweight and compact, tipping the scales at less than five ounces, and measuring approximately 0.75 of an inch thick, 2.25-inch high and fractionally more than 3.5-inches long.

The PowerShot SD750 Digital ELPH ships with a rechargeable battery pack, a 32MB SD memory card, a USB interface cable, an AV cable, a wrist strap, and Canon's software suite.

Direct Print
Like all PowerShot digital cameras, this newest addition to the SD-series work seamlessly with Canon's petite compact photo printers to deliver stunning high quality borderless prints. Consumers simply connect their PowerShot digital camera to a Canon compact photo printer-such as the SELPHY CP730 or PIXMA mini260 models. Press the bright blue Print/Share button, and within moments1, a brilliant, borderless 4x6-inch print begins to emerge. It is that simple. Canon's compact photo printers are PictBridge compatible, so they work with PictBridge enabled digital cameras to provide users with excellent image quality and ease-of-use, especially when paired with a Canon digital camera.

Windows Vista Ready
As one of Microsoft's Premier Launch Partners, Canon is proud to announce that all PowerShot cameras announced in 2007 are Certified for Windows Vista according to Microsoft standards, without any extra downloads or upgrades. Additionally, all current models are fully compatible with other operating systems including Windows XP and Mac OS X (Versions 10.2 - 10.4).
