Overview

Summary

This camera has features including a 7.1 Megapixel, 1/2.5-inch CCD, DIGIC III Image Processor, 4x optical zoom lens and 2.5-inch LCD monitor. It uses two AA batteries to shoot up to approx. 140 images (based on the CIPA standard when the LCD monitor is on), and SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and MultiMediaCards for the recording media. Images are utilized with a direct print compatible printer, computer and TV via USB 2.0 Hi-Speed.

The dimensions (excluding protrusions) of the main body are 91.2 x 64.0 x 43.1 mm (3.6 x 2.5 x 1.7 in.) and the weight is approximately 165 g (5.8 oz.).
