The IXY DIGITAL 500 expands on the outstanding design and performance features of their predecessors – the long-selling IXY DIGITAL 400 released in March and May 2003, respectively.
The models enhance the convenience and enjoyment of Canon’s Direct Print capability with a Print/Share button. With one push of the new Print/Share button, users can produce photo prints directly from a compatible printer, bypassing the need for a PC. The feature also allows users to quickly and easily transfer images to a Windows PC.Other new print-related functions include ID Photo Print, making it simple to produce photo prints compatible with the major ID-photo sizes of the world, and Movie Print, which enables users to print sequences of video files captured on the memory card. The Canon IXY DIGITAL 500 is the first camera in Canon’s ultra-compact IXY DIGITAL series to incorporate a five-megapixel image sensor, enabling higher image-capture precision than ever before.
The Canon IXY DIGITAL 500 White Limited (released in June 2004) is a limited-edition white-bodied version of the IXY DIGITAL 500 released in March. Coated with a newly developed high-gloss surface finish, the front panel of the new model realizes a translucent whiteness and porcelain-like smooth texture. The IXY DIGITAL 500 White Limited will be available only in Japan for a limited release of 10,000 units.
