Product Description:
The stylish IXUS III will put cameras onto a next level. It has the latest technical features for enhanced performance and ease-of-use. Canon's optical know how combined with the IXUS design guarantees high-quality photography.The small, robust but lightweight aluminum body (98 x 50 x 33.4mm) is built around a top quality 23.5-54mm, 2.3x zoom lens which guarantees a brilliant image from every distance.

The new unified AE/AF CMOS autofocus and metering system now employs only one sensor that combines autofocus and metering functions.On the back you will find a large, cool looking blue illuminated LCD that is easy to use and simple to understand. When light gets low, you just press a button and the information on the LCD lights up in blue. The IXUS III has five custom functions of which two are new: Center Spot Range metering, which enables you to use only the center spot of the light sensor for metering. Plus a Continuous Shooting function for action sequences.
