Canon A1200 Black Powershot 12 Megapixels Digital Camera - A1200BK
Shoot Your Way with this Easy, Affordable New Camera.
Sleekly redesigned in classic Black or Silver, the new PowerShot A1200 digital
camera is all about capturing your memories your way. An Optical Viewfinder
gives you an easy, familiar alternative to composing shots with an LCD screen.
Smart AUTO takes care of all the details while you focus on getting the shot
you want, by intelligently selecting the proper settings for the camera based
on 32 predefined shooting situations. And now you can preserve your memories
exactly the way you see them in incredibly true-to-life 720p HD. With 12.0 Megapixels,
you'll be able to blow up your shots without losing a single detail, and the
4x Wide-Angle (28mm) Optical Zoom gets you close to the action quickly. The
camera uses AA batteries, so you'll have power anytime, anywhere. New Discreet
Mode lets you shoot where you never could before, by disabling sound, flash
and AF beam. Looking to put a little artistry in your photography? New Creative
Filters mode makes it easy with appealing options like Fisheye Effect, Miniature
Effect, Monochrome and more.
It's Your Choice: LCD or Optical Viewfinder.
The PowerShot A1200 digital camera gives you a choice that's getting increasingly
hard to find on digital cameras today. It's equipped with an Optical Viewfinder
in addition to the LCD screen. Many photographers prefer this classic, familiar
option that lets you simply hold the camera to your eye and shoot.
The camera's big, bright LCD screen gives you a wealth of important information
about the shot. However, using it to compose and focus requires that you hold
the camera away from your body. Many people do this with one hand, arms away
from the body, effectively creating camera shake that can distort a shot. Using
the Optical Viewfinder helps ensure that the camera is held steady.
The great thing is that from shot to shot, whether you use the Optical Viewfinder
or LCD screen is your choice.
