The IXY DIGITAL 70, successor to the highly acclaimed IXY DIGITAL 60 launched in September 2005, features several performance enhancements, including High ISO Auto to reduce the effects of camera shake and prevent subject blur, and a 6.0-megapixel CCD sensor, improving on the 5.0-megapixel sensor incorporated in the 60.

In addition to a 2.5-inch LCD monitor boasting an improved viewing angle, resolution and clarity, as well as Canon’s highly acclaimed ultra-compact 3x zoom lens, the camera offers the same high-performance functions as the IXY 80, including a My Colors playback mode.
