This digital camera provides the longest, most powerful optical zoom available. The 26X lens enables close-ups only possible with detachable telephoto zoom lenses--no other camera provides such a zoom with the ease of a point-and-shoot. It also takes wide-angle panoramas (26mm) when the lens is fully retracted as well as macro shots within 1 cm. It has a 12-megapixel image sensor that can take still pictures at a maximum 3968 x 2976 pixel size. Its image stabilization technology combines with its high ISO sensitivity (up to 6400) and fast shutter speeds (1/2000) to capture clear, sharp images without blurring. You can record high-quality videos and audio at up to 30 fps with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. The included USB cable connects it to your computer for downloading pictures. It accepts both microSD and xD memory cards. Comes with a zippered carrying case and 1GB XD memory card. Includes 4 AA batteries. 3 1/2" H x 4 1/4" W x 3 1/2" D. (15 1/4 oz.)
