The PowerShot SD950 IS (3.8 by 2.4 by 1.1 inches, 5.82 oz) is designed for point-and-shoot users looking for functionality coming in an elegant and ultra compact package. Continuing the ELPH tradition, the SD950 IS flashes a full-body titanium look and is slightly thinner than its predecessor. As for features, the camera sports 12.1 Megapixel resolution, 3.7x optical zoom with optical image stabilizer, face detection and a 2.5-inch LCD screen.
The PowerShot SD870 IS (3.7 by 2.3 by 1 inches, 5.5 oz) is another camera aimed at style-conscious photo enthusiasts, combining style with substance. The latter includes 8 Megapixel resolution, 3.8x wide-angle optical zoom with optical image stabilization, face detection and a large 3-inch LCD screen. Canon also claims the screen to be scratch-resistant and offering anti-reflection.
The PowerShot SD950 IS and SD870 IS will be available in September, selling for approximately $500 and $400, respectively.
