It also features Night Display for easy viewing in low light - a perfect feature for gathering friends and family around to see your images.

Cool, crisp colors to match any personality

Why settle for any old color when you can savor luxurious hues like Blue, Silver, Pink, Green and Brown that give a sharp new edge to sophistication? The pure aluminum body of the PowerShot SD1300 IS is an inspired medium for bold expression, enhancing every gleam of color from the slim profile to the subtle curves that create a visual "softness" you can almost feel. When design takes a confident detour, your world goes along for the ride.

Shoot in Low Light mode for dimly-lit situations

With an ISO of 400 - 6400, the Low Light mode takes the Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS boldly into the shadows! Now even scenes notorious for having insufficient light, such as those lit by candles, fire, or street lamp, come through in fantastic color and clarity, with less noise. You can keep the feel of the scene intact without adding additional light, so the result will be scenes with the visual accuracy, depth and clarity you expect from a Canon camera.
