The PowerShot SD30 Digital ELPH incorporates a great measure of functional beauty and sense of lightness, thanks to the adoption of the latest design techniques and new color variations. The PowerShot SD30 includes a full range of high-performance features, including a 5.0 Megapixel CCD, a retractable 2.4x optical zoom lens (35mm film equivalent: 38-90mm) and 4.0x digital zoom. The SD30 also features Canon’s exclusive DIGIC II image processor, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity, and an easy-to-read 1.8-inch LCD screen, which is larger than their predecessors. It comes with a new Camera Station, the CS-DC1, which lets you easily charge the camera's battery. It also enables video output, image transfer to a PC and direct printing, via the supplied wireless remote control.
