In the latest move to grab more market share during the festive season, Canon India released its latest PowerShot A 1000 IS camera, that is 20% smaller in size than the older cameras by Canon. The stylish and compact camera would provide users with more functions and mobility. 

A lens with 4x zoom, 2.5-inch wide LCD and a special high-end photographic control for point-and-shoot capability are supported by the Canon A 1000 IS camera. 

Other exciting features include Canon's proprietary advanced DIGIC III Imaging Processor, advanced Face Detection Technology with Face Select and Track functionalities in order to detect up to 35 detected faces in a frame. 

And if users want to change the mode, they simply have to press the Face Selector button. To add more, the exclusive Canon PowerShot camera is equipped with several modes like Auto Red-Eye function; AF-Point Zoom to magnify the AF frame when depressing the shutter halfway; and pre-set Special Scene modes such as Kids & Pets, Fireworks, Sunset and ISO 3200. 

One more thing about this compact camera is that apart from clicking excellent still images, it also can be switched to video recording with sound in Long Play (LP) VGA mode. The video files are stored on its playback for easy viewing at a later stage. 

This is not all!
