Canon HS pixels. Photos will never be the same again.
Canon's innovative HS System represents a cutting edge combination of a
high-sensitivity sensor and a powerful DIGIC processor that work together to give
premium image quality even in low light. This reduces the need to shoot with flash
or tripod, allowing you to capture the real, natural atmosphere of the moment.
HS System
All HS System cameras use high-sensitivity Many models also feature back-illuminated
10.0 or 12.1 megapixel sensors with bigger CMOS sensors, which can capture more light
pixels than conventional higher resolution than conventional CMOS sensors and
models. Bigger pixels can capture more perform better in low light. The optimised
light leading to increased sensitivity for combination of these sensors and the DIGIC
clearer, more refined images with less processor is the key to HS System's amazing
unwanted noise. low light results.
Low Light Conditions DIGIC Processing
Compared to conventional cameras, Canon's DIGIC processor is the brain inside
HS System captures images with up to every Canon digital camera – processing
60% less noise, more visible detail and information from the image sensor for
more accurate colours in all lighting optimum image quality and fast camera
situations. However, HS System truly excels operation. It offers near-instant startup,
in low light conditions and apart from superb detail and low noise (even at high
