From a toddlers day out at the park to a first road trip adventure, keeping your subject in the center of attention has never been easier. Auto shooting features such as Scene Auto Selector and Target Finding autofocus (AF) work to ensure your subjects are always sharp and accurately captured. The A100 also makes the best of every moment with its 20.1-megapixel*1 image sensor, 5x optical zoom and 10x Dynamic Fine zoom*2. For events that deserve more than just a photo, record them in HD video (720p format) with a simple push of a button.
Add a personal touch to your images during or after shooting with 8 special effects and 6 quick effects. The new intuitive Creative slider also gives you precise control over effects adjustment so you can be sure that every photograph is picture-perfect.
Measuring a mere 19.8mm (depth) with lens fully retracted and weighing at approximately 119g (including battery and SD card), the A100 boasts a slim profile that is nifty for captures on the go. With long-lasting battery life that takes up to 250 images or approximately 65 minutes of HD movie recording, you can count on the A100 to be there at every photo-worthy moment.
