IXY DIGITAL 300a inherits the design elements now synonymous with Canon’s popular IXY (rhymes with Dixie) DIGITAL series – sleek lines, ultra-compact proportions and consummate style.
IXY DIGITAL 300a incorporates advanced optical technology to deliver outstanding image quality. The 300a features a 1/2.7″ CCD sensor with 2 million effective-pixel resolution, an RGB primary color filter, and Canon’s proprietary high-speed Imaging Engine digital signal-processing IC to deliver a high signal-to-noise ratio, high-definition images and faithful color reproduction.
IXY DIGITAL 300a is the first of any IXY DIGITAL or PowerShot compact digital lineup to incorporate Canon’s Intelligent Orientation Sensor, which automatically detects the camera’s orientation and also ensures optimum Auto-Focus, Auto-Exposure and Auto-White-Balance performance.
IXY DIGITAL 300a also offers a number of high-end features including: five popular Photo Effects enabling greater creativity at the push of a button; Intelligent AE for guaranteed optimum exposure performance; five white balance presets; noise reduction; a wide shutter speed range of 15 seconds to 1/1500 second; and a histogram display, which allows the user to check the overall exposure for each photo on the LCD monitor.
Additionally, the IXY DIGITAL 300a use new ultra-high density mounting technology, resulting in a thinner camera body, and the “Camera Direct Print” feature used in combination with the small digital photo printers will provide the user with much enjoyment.
