This is the only digital camera with 5 axis video stabilization and 3 axis still stabilization, resulting in smooth and sharp movies and photos without a tripod. While most DSLR cameras correct videos for movement along two or three axes, this innovative model also compensates for vertical or horizontal shifts along the translational plane, so even while walking movie-makers capture clear and steady 1080p HD video. With a high-speed CMOS sensor, the 16 megapixel camera also is the only point-and-shoot model to correct for pitch, yaw, and roll, so even in low-light conditions it takes crisp still shots without blur. The starlight setting combines multiple images to create streak-free photos at night, and the 48X digital zoom takes extreme close-ups without sacrificing image quality. The camera also has 24X optical zoom (25-600mm equivalent), a 25mm wide-angle lens, and a quick-response auto-focus for capturing moving targets such as kids and pets. Able to record both stills and movies at once, the camera shoots 120 frames-per-second high-speed video with high-def audio and slow-motion playback, and in advanced movie mode it lets cinematographers set their desired frame rate and white balance. Users switch settings and touch up images via a 3" LCD touch screen. Content is stored on an SD card (not included) and can be downloaded via USB. Battery recharges via AC adapter. 4 1/2" L x 2 1/2" W x 1 1/2" D. (3 oz.)
