The IXY DIGITAL 30 takes the IXY signature concepts of style and ultra-compactness to a new level, employing a range of technical and design innovations to realize the smallest and lightest camera (as of May 2003) ever in the IXY DIGITAL series lineup.

The IXY DIGITAL 30 is Canon’s first digital camera to use the postage-stamp-sized SD Memory Card format, contributing to greatly reduced body dimensions while also offering the high-capacity, high-speed memory necessary for digital photography.

This developments enabling boosted performance while facilitating an ultra-compact body design include the world’s smallest retractable 2x zoom lens (as of May 2003), an ultra-thin TFT LCD monitor with integrated backlighting, a thin-profile Li-ion battery, and a highly efficient compact light-guide flash. The model also benefits from extremely dense packing innovations, enabling the further shrinking of the system’s main circuit board.

This digital camera features Canon’s proprietary DIGIC digital signal-processing integrated circuit, enabling processing performance far exceeding that of conventional processors. As a result, the IXY DIGITAL 30 realizes improved image quality, quicker initial start-up times, faster continuous shooting with longer bursts, and improved power consumption, contributing to longer shooting and photo-replay times.

Matching technology with style, the model utilizes a newly developed Platinum White Finish exterior coating for a sleek appearance that emphasizes the camera’s slim-line lightweight design.
