  • Fashionable Design Its lightweight and compact body stands out from the crowd with its hip design. Plus the camera menus and displays are easily customizable allowing you to change the menu colors, shutter sounds and welcome screen. But don't let its whimsical design fool you; the E1 is still a serious camera that will capture images of stunning quality.

• 10.0 Megapixel Resolution The 10.0 megapixel resolution ensures the kind of detail that makes ordinary images extraordinary, and gives you the freedom to crop images and produce large prints that are true-to-life and filled with rich detail.

 • 4x Optical Zoom Lens The camera's 4x optical zoom lens provides a focal length equivalent of 35-140mm and a fast aperture that can go to f/2.7, so you'll be ready to capture a broad range of shots. Snapshots, landscapes and everything in between are rendered with the clear, bright quality of genuine Canon optics

. • Image Stabilizer Technology for Steady Shooting The Canon PowerShot E1 features their exclusive Image Stabilizer Technology. Camera shake can cause blurring when shooting in low light and at long focal lengths. The advanced Image Stabilizer uses digital technology to detect shake then signal precise lens shifts that effectively cancel it. This means you can take excellent-quality images in many more situations - outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, anytime when lighting conditions are not ideal.

• DIGIC III Processor with Face Detection Delivering fast, responsive camera performance and superb image rendering, the DIGIC III processor also drives Canon's landmark Face Detection technology that ensures accurate and bright people shots by automatically detecting faces in a scene and optimizing focus and exposure accordingly. Furthermore, the processor incorporates iSAPS scene-recognition technology using an internal database of thousands of different photos to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

• Shoot and View Widescreen Images A 16:9 widescreen resolution option is included, producing images that are perfect for your widescreen TV or computer monitor.

• VGA Movie Recording with Sound Movie functions include 30fps VGA recording with sound, and can playback onto a PC or a TV via the integrated AV Out connection. You can also shoot full-motion movies at QVGA (320 x240) that are well suited to PC playback, or a 15fps Compact Movie Mode that's ideal for creating movies you can attach to emails.

 • Wide Range of Shooting Modes 17 Shooting modes help deliver excellent results in almost any situation. Preset Special Scene modes, including Indoor, Beach and Snow, assist with picture taking in tricky lighting conditions, while Color Accent and Color Swap modes enable dramatic color effects to images and movies directly from the camera; keep one color and change the rest to black and white with Color Accent, or exchange one color for another with Color Swap. The E1 also features My Colors photo effects for additional in-camera color customization.

• Easy Mode Canon's Easy mode works in the background to handle all the technical details so you can focus on choosing just the right angle, capturing the perfect expression or framing your shot perfectly. And to make showing off your images just as carefree, it features an Easy Playback mode that makes viewing single images and slideshows on the camera effortless - even if you're new to digital photography.

• 2.5" LCD Screen The 2.5" LCD with 115,000 pixels of resolution, features a selectable Grid Line Display to help with shot composition and a Night Display mode for easy visibility after dark. So, whether you're setting up your shot or playing it back, everything is bright and clear.
