The IXY DV 5 camcorder, which replaces the IXY DV 3, makes a fashion statement with an eye-catching new pearl-white/metallic cinnamon-orange finish and an ultra-compact upright body.
The IXY DV 5 is equipped with a compact 10x optical zoom lens that incorporates two aspherical lens elements to effectively correct for spherical and chromatic aberrations for undistorted shooting performance. Moreover, a 1/6″ 680,000-pixel interlaced CCD and Canon’s DIGIC DV image processor enable users to capture high-quality still images and movies.
Other performance-enhancing features include Super Night Mode, which emits a bright LED light as supplemental illumination to permit color video recording in virtual darkness.
The IXY DV 5 digital video camcorder is compatible with the PictBridge industry standard established by the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) for the direct printing of photos from digital cameras. In addition to Canon’s range of Direct Print-compatible printers, users can connect the camcorders directly to any printer enabled for PictBridge and output photos (JPEG) without having to use a computer.
