Canon IXUS i Zoom: Chic and high-performing

With the introduction of the chic, high-performance IXUS i Zoom, Canon reinforces its position both as a global leader in digital optics and as a manufacturer of the world’s most elegant and stylish cameras.

Compact, easy-to-operate and available in four fabulous colors, the 5.0-megapixel IXUS i Zoom looks as good as the high-resolution images it captures.

Fashion-conscious consumers will love the slim, compact shape of the IXUS i Zoom, which was designed as a stylish accessory.

It fits comfortably in the palm of the hand, and with the choice of four designer colors - Cranberry Red, Sahara Blonde, Ultra Violet and Jet Black - complements an individual’s unique personality and style.

Included with the IXUS i Zoom is a convenient camera docking station. Connect it to a TV, place the camera in the dock, and use the wireless remote to initiate playback.

When transferring photos to a computer, connect the dock to a PC for rapid image transfer. It can also be connected to any Canon Direct or PictBridge-compatible photo printer for fast and easy photo printing. Place the IXUS i Zoom on the camera docking station to charge the camera’s battery conveniently.

As with all IXUS cameras, beauty is much more than skin deep. Inside, the IXUS i Zoom features a high-resolution 5.0-megapixel CCD.

Powered by Canon’s proprietary DIGIC II imaging processor, which accelerates processing speeds, improves autofocus precision, and enhances color reproduction, the IXUS i Zoom offers exceptional image quality every time a photo is taken.

The IXUS i Zoom features a retractable 2.4x optical zoom, a first for IXUS i Series cameras. It incorporates Canon’s superior ultra-high refractive index aspherical (UA) lens to reduce color dispersion and features an ultra slim design to keep the camera compact.

A 1.8-inch LCD monitor makes viewing stills and playing back movies a great pleasure. With a maximum resolution of 118,000 pixels, images are sharp, clear and natural.

To enhance easy composition, the horizontal and vertical grid lines display helps ascertain the ideal subject placement. And when used in the vertical position, the IXUS i Zoom has an alternate shutter button so the camera can be operated with one hand.

Playing back images on the LCD monitor is made even more enjoyable with the slide show function, which allows users to display images as an automated slide show without a computer. Transition effects dramatize the movement from one image to the next, heightening the overall impact.
