The versatile, affordable Canon PowerShot A100 features a 1.2-megapixel sensor (for 1,280 x 960 images for prints at sizes up to 5 by 7 inches) and 3.2x digital zoom magnification. The built-in flash operates automatically with a feature that reduces red eye, but it can also be turned on or off manually for photographers seeking greater control.
The A100 offers a variety of shooting modes--such as auto, manual, movie, sepia, and black and white--to add style to your photos. You can effortlessly compose your shots using either the optical viewfinder or the 1.5-inch LCD monitor.
The included 8 MB CompactFlash memory card stores up to 32 photos at normal settings, or over a minute of video if you are shooting in movie mode. The A100 connects easily to your PC with the included USB cable so you can easily edit, e-mail, or print out your photos. The camera uses two AA batteries.
