Canon has released a ruggedized digital camera designed and engineered to withstand
the harshest of elements while taking super high resolution photos
. The Powershot D10 features a 12.1 mega-pixel lens coupled with Canon's
DIGIC 4 Image Processor with evolved face detection technology that tracks
the faces of moving subjects and lets the shooter enter the frame seamlessly
with the Face Detection Self-Timer, a 3x Optical Zoom lens and an Optical Image
Stabilizer. The D10 uses its "tortoise" like construction for waterproofing up to
33 feet, cold resistance from 12-104 degrees Fahrenheit and shock proofing up to 4
feet. The Powershot D10 can be taken scuba diving, surfing, snorkeling, skiing,
mountaineering and whatever else you can think of.
