The IXY DIGITAL 2000 IS, the new flagship model in Canon’s IXY DIGITAL-series lineup,succeeds the IXY DIGITAL 1000 launched in October 2006 and includes a variety of new features and a new body design. The sleek and stylish 2000 IS incorporates a newly designed 3.7x optical zoom lens and a high-resolution 12.1-megapixel CCD sensor. The camera’s sophisticated design employs a stylish exterior made of lightweight yet durable pure titanium,and achieves an elegant “Curvature Design” body form. Furthermore, the camera is equipped with a 2.5-inch high-resolution 230,000 dots “Clear Live LCD” monitor that offers a wide viewing angle and realizes a wide color-reproduction range. A protective cover on the monitor contributes to increased ease of use by reducing glare while also protecting the screen from scratches, dirt and grime.
