The PowerShot family of cameras follows Canon's tradition of user-friendly features and superior image quality. The PowerShot A650IS digital camera is no exception, nicely filling the market niche for those ready to step up from a point and shoot without purchasing a DSLR. Numerous features make taking beautiful pictures virtually foolproof. From family portraits to macro shooting, the PowerShot A650IS will appeal to photographers of all skill levels.
Superb image quality
Image quality is a top consideration when selecting a digital camera. The Canon PowerShot A650IS digital camera really delivers in this area. At the heart of these high quality images is the camera's 12.1 Megapixels. This high resolution means that photo prints up to size A2 retain their clarity.
Also, a 2.5" vari-angle LCD screen makes it easier to capture images when shooting at particularly high or low angles. There's a standard viewfinder in addition to the LCD screen to suit the user's preference for picture-taking methods.
Images are sharper because of the High IS0 1600, which reduces both subject blur and camera shake. Additionally, the PowerShot A650IS digital camera features an Optical Image Stabiliser that keeps shots clear even when zooming in for a close-up or photographing in low-light conditions without a flash.
Other features allow users of all skill levels to take advanced photos. For example, the Canon 6x optical zoom lens offers a wide shooting range, all without lens changes. Users can easily zoom in and out to frame just the right scene while keeping the image in focus. If you want to change out lenses, however, the PowerShot A650IS enables you to do so. You can try out wide-angle or telephoto converter lenses, for instance.
Portraits
The PowerShot A650IS digital camera offers several features for taking better portraits. In-camera red-eye removal allows you to instantly correct red eye in your subjects. There is no need to upload the pictures to a computer and use special photo correction software. Portraits appear more natural and true to life.
Face Detect technology is another feature that makes it easier to photograph people. Face Detect technology automatically selects the optimal lighting, exposure and focus for the conditions. Both posed and spontaneous photos of people and pets will be more crisp and vivid.
Advanced skills
It would be a mistake to assume that the PowerShot A650IS digital camera is only for beginners. More experienced photographers can utilize their advanced skills in shooting modes that offer complete manual control. In total, the PowerShot A650IS has 21 shooting modes, giving you a wide range of options for capturing the scene.
The Canon PowerShot A650IS is a good camera for honing your close-up photography skills. With 1cm macro shooting, users can take artistic shots and explore their creativity. The Optical Image Stabiliser mentioned above keeps close-ups sharp.
Canon's DIG!C III Image Processor is the brains of the PowerShot A650IS. Overall performance is seamless and efficient, with a quick start-up and auto-focus. The power of this processor translates into longer battery life. Add to that a movie recording function with playback sound, and you've got a camera that's perfect for the average photographer capturing family memories as well as budding professionals.
