Description — Canon Digital IXUS 330
The Canon Digital IXUS 330 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built into a stainless steel body measuring 95 x 63 x 32 mm and weighing 274g. Its 2MP sensor records images at up to 1600x1200 pixels, while the 3-point contrast detection autofocus system keeps operation simple and accessible. Shooters can frame their shots using either the 1.5-inch TFT LCD with 118,000 dots of resolution or the optical tunnel viewfinder.
The camera's ISO 50–400 range covers everyday lighting conditions, and the built-in flash with a guide number of approximately 3 meters handles darker environments. Five in-camera color profiles — Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, Low Sharpening, and Black and White — offer creative flexibility at the point of capture. Burst shooting is supported at up to 2.5 fps.
Images are stored on CompactFlash media and transferred to a computer via USB. The Canon NB-L1H 840 mAh Lithium-Ion battery delivers approximately 120 shots per charge. No image stabilization or weather sealing is present.
