The Canon IXY 30S is the first IXY-series camera to incorporate the HS System,*
which combines a high-sensitivity image sensor and Canon's high-performance DIGIC image processor. The HS System, also utilized in the well-received PowerShot G11 and PowerShot S90 released in October 2009, combines a back-illuminated 10.0-megapixel CMOS sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor for reduced camera shake, subject blur, and noise. This combination allows users to take clear, blur-free photos that capture the moment, even when shooting night scenes or in indoor settings—both difficult shooting environments for conventional compact digital cameras—without the need to use a flash or tripod.

* With this release, the name of the Dual Anti-Noise System utilized in the PowerShot G11 and PowerShot S90 has been changed to the HS System
