the new PowerShot A1200
digital camera is all
about capturing your
memories your way. An
Optical Viewfinder gives
you an easy, familiar
alternative to composing
shots with an LCD

care of all the details
while you focus on
getting the shot you
want, by intelligently
selecting the proper
settings for the camera
based on 32 predefined
shooting situations. And
now you can preserve
your memories exactly
the way you see them in

720p HD. With 12.0
Megapixels, you'll be
able to blow up your
shots without losing a
single detail, and the

Optical Zoom gets you
close to the action
quickly. The camera uses
AA batteries, so you'll
have power anytime,
anywhere. New Discreet
Mode lets you shoot
where you never could
before, by disabling
sound, flash and AF
beam. Looking to put a
little artistry in your
photography? New
Creative Filters mode
makes it easy with
appealing options like

Miniature Effect,
Monochrome and more.
