Product Information
Ultra slim and stylish, the black Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS not only looks the part, but produces outstanding photos from a whole host of intelligent Canon technologies with the additional benefit of HD video.

With 12.1 megapixels, the Digital IXUS 100 IS produces rich and clear images that can be cropped and enlarged up to poster size without losing any detail. A 3.0x optical zoom lens provides the flexibility to take shots near or far and the in-lens optical Image Stabiliser helps to produce blur free results.

To help you optimise the quality of your photo opportunities, the Digital IXUS 100 IS features Scene Detection Technology that will automatically select a setting from 18 possible modes to accommodate the brightness, contrast, distance and overall hue of the subject. Furthermore, Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor ensures superb colour reproduction and image quality is maintained even at high ISO speeds, thanks to advanced Noise Reduction. Motion Detection Technology combats blur.

Other features include Face Detection and Blink Detection technologies that make sure your people pictures are of a high standard by enhancing the focus and exposure of faces in the frame, and prevents ruined shots from people closing their eyes at the wrong moment.

You can view your results from the 2.5” LCD, and the Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS can produce high quality movies in high definition for playback on an HD TV.
