Take creativity to a new level with the swivel-screen PowerShot A650 IS. 12.1 Megapixels and a 6x zoom with optical Image Stabilizer team with manual control and lens accessories to express your true vision. Canon's extremely popular A Series reaches a milestone with PowerShot A650IS, its new top-of-the-line camera. 12.1-megapixel resolution offers unparalleled resolution for a compact camera, while the powerful 6x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer Technology delivers clear, blur-free images in low light and all through the zoom range. Hallmark A-series value includes Canon's latest-generation DIGIC III Image Processor with enhanced Face Detection Technology, ISO 1600, and red-eye correction for sharp, superior-quality images.

Canon Powershot A650 IS Digital Camera

The 12.1-megapixel A650 IS follows the 10-megapixel A640 introduced this time last year. The PowerShot A650 IS is fitted with a 6x optical zoom lens with a focal length of 35-210mm in 35mm format, versus the previous 6x optical zoom with a shorter range of 35-140mm. The newer camera showcases optical image stabilization. Canon’s optical image stabilization system uses lens shifting technology to reduce camera shake and prevent blurry photos. The mechanical image stabilization is paired with digital stabilization called Auto ISO Shift that boosts sensitivity and allows users to shoot in low-light environments.

The Canon camera also includes a 2.5-inch Vari-Angle flip out, rotating LCD screen similar to that of the older model. The A650 IS, however, has a greater monitor resolution - 173,000 pixels compared to the 115,000 pixel maximum on the A640. With its pivoting capabilities, the camera’s LCD screen enables users to shoot at high or low angles.

ISO 1600 and Auto ISO Shift
ISO 1600 combines with optical Image Stabilizer to counteract image blur. A dedicated ISO button allows quick selection of ISO speeds for flash-free results in low-light conditions. When camera shake is predicted, Auto ISO Shift automatically increases ISO to further reduce the risk of blurring.
