The PowerShot SD700 IS Digital Elph sets a new standard. The first Digital Elph equipped with Canon’s Image Stabilizer technology, its sleek, tri-color body is loaded with high-end features that make taking great pictures more stylish and convenient than ever.

Get close, stay steady
Engineered with Canon’s sophisticated Image Stabilizer technology, the SD700 IS Digital Elph gives you the “shake-free” performance that makes your pictures sharp and clear. No matter how close you zoom in, the SD700 IS Digital Elph keeps everything stable. All you have to think about is your subject.

High performance, high style
This is a camera that could make it on looks alone. But wait until you see its performance. The 4x optical zoom brings you in for intimate close-ups. The 6.0-megapixel CCD produces images of impressive quality with resolution that lets you create big prints.

Canon innovation enhances your experience
The PowerShot SD700 IS Digital Elph features new ISO 800 and High ISO Auto settings that reduce the effects of camera shake and sharpen subjects in low-light situations, giving you greater flexibility for shooting.

Advanced imaging technology improves every photo

DIGIC II Image Processor
Canon’s DIGIC II Image Processor is designed to improve processing speed and image quality, so DIGIC II provides markedly faster startup, autofocus, and playback, plus it assures that every image is more colorfully vibrant.

iSAPS Technology
iSAPS Technology is an entirely original scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC II Image Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance.

Shoot and view wide images
The PowerShot SD700 IS Digital Elph includes a 16:9 widescreen resolution option, producing images and film clips that are perfect for your widescreen TV or computer monitor.

Superior movie quality
Fast Frame Rate Movie Mode allows you to record extremely smooth, full-motion movie clips for up to one minute in QVGA at 60 frames per second (fps) (320 x 240 pixels). With a highly flexible movie mode, you can create the movie that’s perfect for any application. Select from VGA (640 x 480 pixels) and QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) with frame rates of 30 fps and 15 fps for recording up to one hour or 1 GB. Plus, Compact Movie Mode (QQVGA; 160 x 120 pixels) records at 15 fps for up to 3 minutes.

Shooting Modes

    CNET reviewed the Canon Powershot SD 700 IS and gave it a 7.8/10, “Compared to its siblings in Canon’s SD line of compact point-and-shoot cameras, the top-end SD700 IS packs more features into its small frame than higher resolution. It shares the same 6-megapixel sensor as its peers, the PowerShot SD600 and SD630 but has a longer zoom lens and image stabilization to curb blurry photos.The Canon PowerShot SD700 IS is compact, though slightly larger than the other two models. Still, it’s the right size to slip into a jacket or a loose pants pocket. At 6.8 ounces, it’s a bit heavy for its small size, giving it a nice, solid feel.Image quality, much like performance, rates as excellent. The SD700 IS reproduces color very well, and images are clean with few processing flaws. Photos remain consistent and noise-free at low-to-moderate ISO speeds and are acceptable even at ISO 400. At ISO 800, we noticed some distinct noise in our photos, but it was a clean, grainlike noise that left the images very usable. Furthermore, lens sharpness remains relatively consistent around the edges, unlike with some similar cameras. This helps keep fringing to a minimum. The Canon PowerShot SD700 IS is a very strong, compact digital camera that produces great pictures. Its price is a bit high compared to that of its little brothers, the SD600 and SD630, but its great image stabilization and subsequent blur-free photos are worth the extra few quid.”

    Megapixel writes and reports, “The big news in the super compact Canon camera range is the addition of an optical stabilizer on the new PowerShot SD700 IS (called IXUS 800 in Europe), the first in that series to offer such a system. Just as remarkable is the fact that the SD700 retains the dimensions of its predecessor, the SD550, but has the addition of 4X optical zoom, a 6-megapixel resolution, and a 2.5-inch monitor. The PowerShot SD700 IS continues the design formula that has proven successful with previous SD cameras. Although the body of the camera is very compact, external controls are positioned in a logical way, making them easily memorized.”
