Features
Good design and feel is not all that the camera has to offer. Moving one step ahead of the 800Ti, this camera is loaded with a lot of features. To begin with the camera uses the DIGIC III processor with advanced noise reduction technology (we’ll come to this later).

The LCD screen is the anti-reflective 2.5-inch that can display upto 230,000 pixels, and features 3x optical zoom that you can extend up to 12x using digital zoom. One plus point of this camera is the AF/AE face detection technology it uses to detect up to nine faces in the frame. The 9-Point AiAF processing it uses also helps in optimizing focus and exposure accordingly.

The various scene modes that the 900Ti has to offer can come really handy especially to users who don't like waste time fussing around with the camera settings. The camera offers modes like Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Baby, Kids & Pets (for moving pictures), Indoor, Foliage, Aquarium and Underwater. You can take one step ahead of the scene modes by making use of the other shooting modes like Digital Macro, Color Accent, Color Swap, and Stitch Assist. The stitch assist tool is very useful if you want to stitch together a panoramic view.

Also the screen is versatile to recognize motion and based on the position of the camera, changes the view from portrait to landscape and back. Although this gets a little irritating when you try some weird angles and try and view it vertically — you will end up chasing the picture around the camera. It also records video up to 1024 x 768 (1 megapixel) with sound.
