The new Canon IXY 600F, the world’s slimmest*1 8x optical zoom camera, includes such features as Intelligent IS, the HS system and Full HD video, while the 51S incorporates a 12x optical zoom lens-an IXY-series first.
The 600F compact digital camera incorporates a 28 mm*2 8x optical zoom lens to support a variety of angles of view, from wide angle to telephoto. Employing a straight retractable lens system, the camera’s lens configuration measures only 18.89 mm across, enabling it to be contained within the area of a one yen coin, when the power is switched off and lens retracted. With a body depth measuring only 22.1 mm, the 600F’s compact design achieves the world’s thinnest 8x optical zoom lens camera.
The Canon IXY 600F newly includes Intelligent IS, a feature that automatically selects optimal image stabilization settings based on the shooting situation, such as during normal conditions, macro shooting and when using a tripod. Further contributing to beautiful, more effortless imaging, the camera features the HS System, which combines a low-noise, high-sensitivity 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor and Canon’s high-performance DIGIC 4 image processor to deliver minimal blur and reduced noise when shooting in even low-light conditions, such as night scenes or indoor settings, without using a flash or tripod.
