and the latest DIGIC 5 processor to deliver exceptional
images even in low light. With an f/2.0 lens, RAW and
GPS this is an expert compact with impact.
Seriously
With a larger surface
than many conventional
compact camera sensors,
this 1/1.7 type, 12.1MP
CMOS uses Canon EOS DSLR
sensor technologies to give
superior performance up
to ISO 6400.

microlens
Colour filter
Larger microlenses with
smaller gaps means more
light is focused onto the pixel.
Larger pixels with bigger
photo-sensitive area allow
more light to be captured.
Improved photocell structure
increases charge storage efficiency
which improves Signal to Noise ratio
and helps to lower noise levels.
