Description — Canon Digital IXUS i Zoom
The Canon Digital IXUS i Zoom is a point-and-shoot compact camera designed around a 5MP sensor in a 1/2.5-inch format, processed by Canon's DIGIC II engine. The body is constructed from aluminum alloy, measuring 96 x 45 x 24 mm and tipping the scales at just 120g — compact enough to slip into a shirt pocket. Autofocus uses contrast detection across a 9-point AF system, while the built-in flash covers five modes: Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye Reduction, and Slow Synchro.
Shooters can choose from five color profiles — Vivid, Neutral, Low Sharpening, Sepia, and Black & White — to shape image output in-camera. The 1.8-inch fixed LCD at 118,000 dots handles image review and menu navigation. ISO sensitivity spans 50 to 400, and the NB-4L battery supports approximately 150 shots per charge.
Files are stored on SD cards and transferred via USB. Video recording is available at 10fps, 15fps, or 20fps at 8-bit depth.
