Description — Canon Digital IXUS v2
The Canon Digital IXUS v2 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 2MP sensor with a 1/2.5-inch sensor size, processed by Canon's Imaging Engine. The body is constructed from stainless steel, measuring 87 x 57 x 27 mm and weighing 250g, making it easy to carry without sacrificing durability. Shooting sensitivity runs from ISO 50 to ISO 400, and images are captured at a maximum of 1600x1200 pixels.
Five color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Sepia, and Black & White — offer in-camera processing flexibility. The 1.5-inch TFT LCD with 118,000 dots handles image review, while an optical tunnel viewfinder provides an alternative framing option. Autofocus uses contrast detection across 3 focus points.
The built-in flash covers five modes: Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Forced On, Suppressed, and Slow-Synchro. Storage uses CompactFlash cards, with USB connectivity for computer transfers. Burst mode operates at up to 2fps, and battery life is rated at approximately 180 shots per charge.
