Of call of the Canon digital cameras, the Canon ELPH series stands out for its compact, lightweight design. Ixus cameras, as the ELPH series is known outside of the United States, offer the same solid construction as other Canon Powershot cameras, only in a smaller package. Canon was the first to shrink digital technology to this size and they continue to make advances. If compactness is important to you, the ELPH series may offer what you need. The Canon Powershot SD110 is the smallest camera in this series. Perfect for the casual picture taker or as a first digital camera, it can easily fit in your pocket and be taken on-the-go. The reason for such a tiny package is that the SD110 uses a Secure Digital memory card. The compromise in size does not reduce the effectiveness of this model, which offers 3.2 mega-pixel resolution, a 2x optical zoom and the ability to take video with sound. The latest additions to the popular Canon ELPH line are the Canon Powershot SD450 and SD550. These powerful five mega-pixel and seven mega-pixel cameras, respectively, offer a wide angle 2.5" LCD monitor, Digic II image processor, and SD card storage. Both cameras also come with a 3x optical zoom. The updated features found on the latest ELPHs simply enhance the already convenient top-of-the-line features offered by the Canon ELPH series. The wider screen makes it easier to view and share images during playback. Additionally, the Digic II processor ensures superior resolution and color quality, as well as improved overall camera performance.
