The new Canon IXY 51S compact digital camera is the first IXY-series model to feature a 28 mm*1 12x optical zoom lens, offering a wider zoom range than its predecessor, the IXY 50S, released in September 2010. The new camera’s light-folding retractable-prism lens barrel and advanced mounting technology make possible both high-quality imaging and the achievement of a body design measuring only 21.9 mm deep, making the 51S the world’s slimmest*2 12x optical zoom lens camera.
The IXY 51S employs such exceptional basic features as the HS System, which combines a low-noise, high-sensitivity 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor with Canon’s high-performance DIGIC 4 image processor. The camera also newly incorporates Intelligent IS that, coupled with Smart Auto, automatically detects up to 78 scenes and applies the optimal camera settings. The wide 3.2-inch touch-panel LCD monitor includes a Touch Shutter function, enabling users to get the shot they want by simply lifting their finger from the screen.
