Canon’s Slimmest IXUS with 28mm wide-angle lens

FEATURES

The mode can also differentiate between day-time and low-light (night time) scenarios for an effortless capture of the perfect pictures.
•	The Smart Auto mode intelligently selects the proper settings for the camera based on 22 pre-defined shooting situations

•	The PureColor LCD II has a wide colour reproduction range, high resolution, a wide angle of view, resists scratching and smudging, and controls reflected light.

•	Capture more with Optical zoom and 28mm wide-angle
•	Canon’s superior Linear Lens system with lens-shift-type image stabilizer enables you to shoot distant subjects with razor-sharp precision

•	Shoot HD movies and enjoy playback on a big screen TV with the HDMI mini connector
