Description — Canon Digital IXUS v
The Canon Digital IXUS v is a point-and-shoot compact camera with a 2MP sensor and a maximum still image resolution of 1600x1200 pixels. Images are captured in the sRGB color profile using Canon's proprietary digital signal processing IC. The camera's body is built from a stainless steel front and aluminum alloy frame, weighing in at 190g with dimensions of 87 x 57 x 26.9 mm.
Composition is supported by both an optical viewfinder and a 1.5-inch TFT LCD with 120,000 dots of resolution. A single-point contrast detection autofocus system handles focusing duties, and a built-in flash is available for additional light. Storage relies on CompactFlash media, and the camera connects to a computer via USB.
The Canon NB-1L or NB-1LH lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 120 shots per charge with the LCD on. ISO sensitivity spans 100 to 150, and video can be recorded at 20fps in 8-bit with sRGB color. No image stabilization is present.
