The IXY DIGITAL 3000 IS succeeds the 2000 IS, released in September 2007, and represents the flagship model of the IXY DIGITAL series. The 3000 IS realizes improved image quality with a 3.7x optical zoom lens inherited from its predecessor and an ultra high-resolution 14.7-megapixel CCD sensor.
New features introduced on the 3000 IS include a Manual Mode, which allows users to manually set shutter speed and aperture value, as well as a new Quick Mode that enables users to quickly take photos of subjects while the camera continuously adjusts for focus and exposure.
A smooth, curved body and brilliant alumite finish imbue the 3000 IS with a design that brims with elegance.
