The 10 megapixel Canon Powershot SD900 has been Previewed by CNET where the write, 'The Canon PowerShot SD900 sits at the top of Canon's PowerShot SD-series of ultracompact cameras, shoulder-to-shoulder with the lower-resolution but more feature-rich PowerShot SD800 IS. With a 10-megapixel sensor that can hit as high as ISO 1,600 sensitivity, the SD900 can shoot large photos even in low light. Unfortunately, it lacks the SD800 IS's optical image stabilization or wide-angle lens, potentially making the higher-resolution camera a bit less flexible in practice.

The SD900 uses a rather narrow 37mm-to-111mm-equivalent lens that's not as flexible as the SD800 IS's 28mm-to-105mm-equivalent version. It also lacks the SD800 IS's optical image stabilization, giving it less of an edge in low light. That said, its 10-megapixel resolution is supplemented by Canon's new Digic III image processor. Canon claims that the Digic III processor improves image quality, performance, and even battery life on their cameras, but we'll have to see what our own tests reveal. Finally, the SD900 has a movie mode that can shoot VGA videos at 30fps, or XGA (1024 X 768) videos at 15fps.'
