Canon Color Accent Feature

Anyway I've been playing around with it a lot and here are some of the pictures I've taken:

My cannon SD700IS does the same thing... I love playing with it!

How do you like your 900 by the way?

I've used mine as well... Here's one of the first one's I took where I accented the red. Wasn't much red in the picture, but it looks kinda cool.

So far I love it, I switched to it from the SD500 and thought other than the MP and bigger display there wouldn't be much difference but I keep discovering more and more new features that they added to the 900
