Canon Powershot SD700 review

The PowerShot SD700 IS Digital Elph features new ISO 800 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting. It also features Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor, which is designed to improve processing speed and image quality. DIGIC II certainly provides markedly faster startup, autofocus, and playback, plus it assures that every image is more colorfully vibrant. In addition, the Canon PowerShot SD700 IS Digital Elph includes a 16:9 widescreen resolution option, producing images and film clips that are suitable for your widescreen televisions & monitors.

Fast Frame Rate Movie Mode allows you to record extremely smooth, full-motion movie clips for up to one minute in QVGA at 60 frames per second (320 x 240 pixels).
