The Canon IXY DIGITAL L3 (pronounced “el three”) succeeds the popular IXY DIGITAL L2 released in November 2004. Employing the Curvature Design method to achieve a sleek and graceful body shape that fits comfortably in the hands and offering a choice of four new high-fashion color variations complemented with shiny metallic accenting, the IXY L3 expresses a sophisticated unique styling not seen in other digital cameras.
Canon’s IXY DIGITAL L3 improves on its predecessor with the incorporation of a retractable 2.4x optical zoom lens (35 mm film equivalent: 38-90 mm), featuring a UA lens element, which represents the smallest zoom lens among Canon digital cameras.
Additionally, the L3 model ships with a Camera Station that lets users easily charge their camera. It also enables video output, image transfer to a PC, and direct printing with a PictBridge-compatible printer. Playback on a television is quick and convenient using the included wireless remote control. Moreover, the camera features increased operability with a Vertical Shutter Release function. In the same manner as one-handed image capture is possible on camera-equipped mobile phones, the FUNC./SET button on the back of the camera serves as the shutter-release when the camera is vertically oriented.
