Introducing the PowerShot SX130 IS – smart features, smart value

United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, 19th August 2010 – Canon today announces the PowerShot SX130 IS, its latest super zoom digital compact camera to combine impressive imaging technology with family-friendly flexibility and value. Replacing the popular PowerShot SX120 IS, this new model offers a host of intelligent features to make it easier to capture important moments in both high-quality still images and High Definition movies.


With its compact design, intuitive controls and long zoom lens, this is the perfect camera for those who want an easy-to-use, take-anywhere digital camera. Users are able to shoot amazing still images and video in any situation - from family gatherings, to landscapes, to close-up shots of distant subjects.

Easy-to-use features for the whole family
The PowerShot SX130 IS gives great results with a range of smart shooting features, whatever your level of photography expertise. Easy Mode disables most controls and clears the screen of most icons, allowing beginners to concentrate on capturing the perfect shot. For normal everyday shooting, Smart Auto can detect 28 different scenes and ensures the camera is optimally adjusted to your shooting subject – whether you’re enjoying a sunset or capturing that special birthday cake moment. The brilliant built-in Smart Shutter uses Face Detection Technology to make sure you’re always in the frame without having to rush into group shots – all you have to do is wink or smile when you’re ready for the shot to be taken.

Broaden your creative horizon
Manual exposure modes enable experienced users to get more creative, while new photographers can experiment with a range of fun and easy effects. Miniature Effect makes landscape shots look of model scale while Fish-eye Effect mimics the distortion of a fish-eye lens. The PowerShot SX130 IS also supports SDXC cards which can store a huge range of movies and stills without you having to worry about carrying a back-up card, or limiting the number of shots you take.

PowerShot SX130 IS – key features:

  • 12x, wide-angle (28mm) lens with IS 

  • 12.1 MP CCD 

  • Smart Auto and Easy modes detect 28 scene types 

  • 7.5 cm (3.0") LCD
