Equipped with a 3x optical zoom lens and the same high-performance 10.0-megapixel CCD sensor and DIGIC III image engine as the PowerShot G7, Canon’s new IXY DIGITAL 1000 boasts the highest image quality in the IXY series to take over as the flagship model from the IXY 700, released in September 2005. Moreover, sporting a body construction that employs pure titanium-known for its lightness, durability, and rust- and dirt-resistant properties-and boasting a stylish, ergonomic body shape created using the Curvature Design method, the IXY DIGITAL 1000 distinguishes itself above others. The Canon IXY DIGITAL 1000 offers users enhanced operability with the incorporation of such features as a large 2.5-inch, high-resolution 230,000 dots LCD monitor with a wide viewing angle, and an easy to use “touch-wheel” operation panel.
