Main Features:
2.1 Megapixel Capacity
Digital photography, like analog photography, is about clarity. The S10's 1/2-inch CCD has over 2.1 million pixels, providing rich color, high-resolution and large-image-size capacity. With the ability to provide full-color images at up to 1,600 x 1,200 you can finally get the full-size photographs you want from a digital camera with the Canon legacy of quality and photographic excellence.
USB Connection
Part of being digital is about communication. Specifically, it's about the ability to communicate between your PowerShot camera and your computer. The PowerShot S10 brings your communications into the digital universe with its cross-platform USB connection. By connecting your S10 to your computer (PC or Macintosh) via the included USB cable you can download your photographs at 20 times the rate of the older serial connections. With today's high-capacity storage devices, a quicker download is essential, and with the USB connection, you can now communicate at digital speed.
Storage
Digital photography provides the wonderful ability to capture high-resolution large-size photographs, with stunning color and rich detail. The only problem: where to put these photographs, which can have file sizes well over a megabyte each. Floppies can't stand up to the task of holding even a few of these high-quality pictures.
Enter PowerShot and the CompactFlash card.
Each PowerShot camera comes with a CompactFlash card, like
a little digital hard drive, which can hold up to 8MB worth of images. That's more storage
space then a handful of floppies. And you can get CompactFlash cards in sizes from 2MB
cards all the way up to the IBM microdrive, at 340MB. It's like loading 45 rolls of 35mm
film all at once.
With PowerShot and the CompactFlash card you never need to worry about film or space
again. You know you can rely on Canon to deliver the rich high-quality photograph you
want, and you always have room to store it. PowerShot makes room for your photographs in
the digital present while making space for you in the digital future.
Canon Lenses
Today's digital cameras are technological marvels, with abilities unthought of even a few years ago. However, ultimately digital cameras are just that, cameras, and like all cameras they are only as good as their lenses. Canon has been in the business of making great lenses since the 1940s. The camera's electronic components, from the CCD to the CompactFlash card, all rely on the camera lens to deliver a clear, sharp, high-quality image. With the all-glass aspherical Canon lenses in every PowerShot camera, you get the image quality you need. Look at the world through your mind's eye, but photograph it through a Canon lens.
Detail Features:
Are you digital yet?
You are because the PowerShot S10 brings you high resolution, large storage capacity and the latest features you want at an affordable price.
- Smallest in its class: Extremely compact design that is only 4.1 inches long, 2.7 inches high and 1.3 inches wide (with lens retracted). In addition, the PowerShot S10 is just 9.5 ounces excluding battery and Compact Flash card.
- Simple Controls: Large, easy to use control buttons placed just where you'd expect to find them. The Omni Selector centralized button offers advanced functions logically arranged in one place.
- 2.1 Million Pixel Resolution: PowerShot has what photographers crave: rich image density, and incredible image clarity. The PowerShot S10's 1/2-inch 2.1 megapixel Charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor creates full-color and B&W high-resolution images up to 1,600 x 1,200 pixels.
- USB High-Speed Interface: The USB (Universal Serial Bus) allows the PowerShot S10 to communicate with your computer 20 times faster than standard serial port connectors. You can connect directly to USB or use the RS-232C serial port.
- CompactFlash: We don't use film, we use something far better, the most powerful image-storage media-compatible Type I and II CompactFlash memory cards. The PowerShot S10 also supports IBM's 340 MB microdrive. Because the CompactFlash memory cards are reusable and can hold so many images, you need never worry about film or developing costs.
- Lens: The Canon name is synonymous with high-quality optics. Our TTL-auto focus lens assures that a clear, sharp image is transferred to the CCD. Canon's high-resolution, minimal low-distortion f/2.8 (wide angle)-4.0 (telephoto) all-glass aspherical optical 2x zoom lens has a focal length of 35 to 70mm (in terms of 35mm film). It opens the door to the future of Canon digital imaging, yet it's the smallest zoom lens in the world.
- Power Sources: The PowerShot S10 is powered by a lightweight 2CR5 lithium (or NB-5H rechargeable NiMH) battery and an internal CR2016 lithium battery that insure date/time stamp backup. You have all the power you need to be digital.
- Software: With the PowerShot S10, taking great pictures is only the beginning. Just point and click to capture your images, and then utilize the easy to use PowerShot Solutions Software CD-ROM to enhance the images to your liking. This comprehensive software package is fully compatible with PC and Macintosh computers. It includes: Adobe PhotoDeluxe and PhotoStitch for both Mac OS and Windows. And the ZoomBrowser EX for windows or the PowerShot Browser for the Mac.
- The PowerShot S10 digital camera gives more. More in the way of digital technology, digital imaging and value for your money. The PowerShot S10's easy to use features and powerful imaging quality makes it one of Canon's greatest digital achievements.
