The Canon PowerShot SD960 IS replaces the previous SD790 model in the company’s lineup, and is based around a 1/2.3″ 12.1 megapixel CCD image sensor, DIGIC 4 image processor, and a Canon-branded 4x optical zoom lens. The SD960 IS’s lens offers focal lengths ranging from a useful 28mm wide angle to a 112mm telephoto, and features true optical image stabilization. Maximum aperture varies from f/2.8 to f/5.8 across the zoom range, and macro focusing is possible to just two centimeters. Continuous shooting is possible at 0.8 frames per second.

There’s no true optical viewfinder, with the Canon SD960 IS instead opting solely for a 2.8″ LCD display with 230,000 dots of resolution. The maximum image dimensions are 4,000 x 3,000 pixels, and 30 frames-per-second 720p (1,280 x 720) movie recording is also possible with the Canon SD960. Sensitivity ordinarily ranges from ISO 80 to ISO 1,600 equivalents, and can be extended to ISO 3,200 equivalent in a high sensitivity scene mode. A built-in flash strobe is rated as good to 13.1 feet (4 meters) at wide angle, and 6.6 feet (2 meters) at telephoto. Images and movies are stored on SD cards, HDMI high-definition and NTSC / PAL standard definition video output plus USB 2.0 High-Speed computer connectivity are on offer, and the Canon PowerShot SD960 draws power from a proprietary NB-4L Lithium Ion rechargeable battery.
