The SX800 40xIS is a camera designed for remote surveillance. Equipment employed for such tasks is frequently exposed to difficult conditions, such as strong winds or heat haze. In order to overcome such hindrances, the camera is equipped with a telephoto lens which is supported by high-grade image processing and stabilisation technology to ensure sufficiently strong image quality. In addition, the round, elegant housing made of anodised, resin-sealed aluminium guarantees the robustness and durability required.
