Shoot photos - anywhere, anytime. The slim and lightweight IXUS-class digital cameras from quality brand Canon go everywhere with you. Thanks to their slim, sophisticated design, they fit in any pocket. And despite their small size, the compact cameras are uncomplicated, intuitive to use and super-fast - an ideal companion for snapshots at the beach, sightseeing in the city or just in between with friends. The Japanese company Canon is one of the leading suppliers of camera technology on the world market and is not least known for its EOS series (Electro-Optical System) of (digital) SLR, system and video cameras. Canon's various product families have been delighting beginners and professional photographers alike for decades.
The excellent workmanship and chic metal body make it an ideal choice for beginners and those photographers who just want to capture a moment quickly. With a total weight (including battery and memory card) of around 150g, it is hardly noticeable in your luggage and yet is always ready to hand. Thanks to the automatic programme, no time-consuming settings are necessary if you just want to take a quick photo. The camera conveniently selects the optimal settings for the best possible photo result. And if you want to make a quick video, no problem. Canon IXUS compact cameras record in up to 1080p Full HD. Capturing high-quality video in MP4 format is also easy with the built-in image stabiliser. All cameras in the IXUS range have Wi-Fi, including NFC, which is often available on smartphones. This makes it possible to share your photos and videos wirelessly, or send them to your computer or mobile phone. For example, you can send your freshly taken holiday photos from the beach directly to your loved ones. At the same time, these wireless services also ensure automatic backups of your photos to the cloud.
With handy features like these, taking photos with Canon IXUS compact cameras is really fun. Whether your subject is far away or you want to try your hand at smaller shots: The flexible 25mm wide-angle lens has a 12x optical zoom and is ready for any situation. The zoom can even be used when shooting video, so you can let your creative juices flow. Shooting detail with high image quality is no problem at all these days thanks to the Canon IXUS.
The IXUS range is straightforward: there are three different models, starting at £99 and going up to £189. The runt of the litter, the IXUS 185, comes in three different stylish colours and offers a versatile camera experience that delivers the best results. It's perfect for getting started with photos and videos. The mid-range is filled by the IXUS 190, which is the first camera to add Wi-Fi and NFC features. The IXUS 190 is also available in several colours and delivers brilliant photos. The top model of the IXUS series is the IXUS 285 HS, available in two colours. It, too, has WLAN and, in contrast to the IXUS 185 and 190, upgrades from 720p videos to 1080p video quality.
The Canon IXUS compact cameras impress with their excellent price-performance ratio, their high-quality and sturdy workmanship and are therefore in each a recommended purchase for beginners and hobby photographers.
