A Closer Look:

5.0 Megapixel CCD The PowerShot S50 produces exquisitely detailed images thanks to a high-resolution 5.0 (S50) Megapixel CCD. Primary color filters incorporated in the S50 also provide vivid and realistic color without the noise associated with other color filters.

Enhanced Movie Mode The S50 improved movie mode allows you to take movies up to 3 minutes long! Movie quality has also been greatly improved over previous models. You can even edit the length of movies or cut out scenes right on the camera.

12x / 11x Combined Zoom Close in on all the action with the S50 powerful zoom. The high resolution 3x optical lens takes you in close and then you can zoom up to 12x / 11x using the 4.0x/ 3.6x digital zoom(S50).
