The Canon IXY DIGITAL 900 IS, equipped with a lens-shift-type optical image stabilizer (IS), is the first model in the IXY series to offer a wide-angle optical zoom. Employing a compact IS unit and a glass-molded Ultra-high refractive index Aspherical (UA) lens, the IXY 900 IS achieves a wider zoom range while also realizing a slimmer body profile. The 3.8x wide-angle zoom, realizing a zoom range equivalent to 28-105 mm in the 35 mm format, allows users the flexibility to shoot such wide-angle images as sweeping landscapes and close-up portraits.
The combination of a 7.1-megapixel CCD sensor and Canon’s proprietary DIGIC III high-speed image engine enables the IXY DIGITAL 900 IS to achieve exceptional image quality throughout the zoom range. Other features adding to the charm of the new IXY 900 IS include a high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD monitor and an elegant, ergonomic body shape based on the Curvature & Wedge Design method.
