The successor model to the popular compact and stylish IXY DIGITAL 10 launched in March 2007, the Canon IXY DIGITAL 20 IS is newly equipped with a 3x optical zoom lens incorporating the company’s lens-shift optical image stabilizer and a high-resolution 8.0-megapixel CCD sensor. Marking a first for a core IXY DIGITAL-series model, the 20 IS comes in five color variations, enabling users to choose the look that best conveys their own personal style.

The body of the 20 IS is made of bright pure aluminum and, while modeled after the square-form body of the 10, incorporates sleek curves using an elegant Curvature Design that shows off its five colors. In addition, the IXY DIGITAL 20 IS is designed for enhanced usability with a 2.5-inch “Clear Live LCD II” monitor, which realizes increased visibility through improved contrast and minimizes variations in display colors when the monitor is viewed at different angles.
