The large 2.7-inch LCD displays whatever you’ve framed in a bright, easy-to-see manner. Just pass the A810 to your family members or friends, so you can quickly share your photos and video.

Digital photography technology continues to advance and improve; and it’s both surprising and not surprising that Canon could fit a 16-megapixel sensor and a Canon DIGIC 4 image processor in the PowerShot A810. These are the recording medium and power source for sharp photos with crisp, clear details and naturally vibrant colors.

Canon didn’t scrimp on the PowerShot A810’s lens quality, giving this camera a 28mm wide-angle lens with 5x optical zoom, or 28–140mm equivalent focal length range in 35mm format. Move in close to your subjects for more compelling images or position yourself at a greater distance to capture spectacular landscapes. The Digital IS, or image stabilization, mode detects subject or camera motion and compensates to reduce blur, and deliver sharper pictures.

For many new photographers, video is what makes the Canon PowerShot A810 so magical. With a push of the Movie Record button, you’re capturing every moment to remember in 720p HD movies: your child’s first birthday, a look of love at a family wedding and the exotic and exciting cultures and people you meet during your travels.

Face Detection is one of the technologies in the Canon PowerShot A810 that make picture shooting and video recording so easy. Press the Auto button and the A810 goes to work with the capability to detect 32 different scenes. These are 32 different opportunities to be creative and still quickly return to the Smart Auto mode, allowing the camera to make the decisions.

Since the Canon PowerShot A810 is the perfect first-time camera for the absolute digital photography beginner, it only makes sense that Canon added an on-screen help guide. You can easily access it to understand the features and functions of your camera, developing your technical knowledge, as you photograph your world.

Because the PowerShot A810 is built slim and portable and easily operates in the midst of any activity or event, you can select the Discreet Mode, so you never intrude on the fun. The camera goes silent and the flash disengages, so you can still capture those candid close-ups of family and friends without firing the flash in their eyes or interrupting them with camera noise.

As your confidence and experience grows using the Canon PowerShot A810, you can try any of the camera’s six creative photo effects. For example, select the Monochrome effect to see how black and white, sepia or blue monochrome enhances your photos. The Fisheye Effect will give your images a surrealistic look, distorting the familiar into fantasy.

The Canon PowerShot A810 was introduced in late February 2012, with a scheduled late-April 2012 release date. Until then, the camera can be pre-ordered from B&H Photo Video for $109.00 at http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=Canon+PowerShot+A810&N=0&InitialSearch=yes.
