Product Description

Canon has launched a digital camera with the flattest zoom the Japanese retailer has ever built, at less than an inch thick. The Digital Ixus 70 digital camera is a combination of style and power. The Digital Ixus 70 provides you with the latest technologies, including an in-built DIGIC III image processor. You're guaranteed beautiful photos every time, thanks to its 7-megapixel CCD sensor. Whether you're taking pictures in soft lighting, at a concert or in dimly-lit interiors, nothing will escape the Digital Ixus 70 digital camera thanks to its 1600 ISO sensitivity. With its different flash modes, you wont have to worry about blinding your subjects, and you can even eliminate red-eye effects with the touch of a button. But the Digital Ixus 70 doesnt stop there; it also includes a face-detection function that recognises up to 9 faces for perfect, colourful, clear pictures every time. The Digital Ixus 70 also includes a video recording mode with sound, letting you take up to 1-hour video sequences in 640 x 480 resolution at 30 images per second on an SD high-capacity memory card. The Ixus 70 will bring style and digital performance to your photos.

The essence of IXUS

Refined IXUS style

The Digital IXUS 70 brings contemporary styling to the classic IXUS design concept. Clean lines and sharp edges combine in an ultra slim body to achieve a look of understated, timeless elegance.

7.1 Megapixels

A 7.1 Megapixel CCD sensor captures every scene with razor sharp detail, for photo quality prints up to poster size.

Ultra compact 3x optical zoom

An Ultra-High Refractive Index Aspherical (UA) 3x optical zoom lens delivers crystal-clear performance in an exceptionally compact form.

DIGIC III with iSAPS

Canon's DIGIC III processor provides lightning quick responses, superb image quality and advanced noise reduction for sharper, clearer images. iSAPS technology analyses each scene to optimise key camera settings even before a shot is taken.

Face Detection AF/AE/FE

Face Detection AF/AE/FE ensures superb people shots by automatically detecting the subjects in the frame and selecting the optimum focus, exposure and flash settings for the scene. My Category tags each image based on face detection and shooting mode for easy navigation, printing, deleting and more.

Red-Eye Correction

During playback Face Detection Technology allows you to quickly and accurately correct red-eye.

2.5" LCD

A high resolution (230,000 pixels) PureColor LCD displays richer, vivid colours with sharp definition. An anti-glare, scratch-resistant coating adds extra protection against knocks and scrapes.

Sharp low-light shooting

Shoot clear, bright images in dim conditions with ISO 1600 - ideal for parties and restaurants or where flash photography is not allowed. Use ISO Auto Shift to avoid image blur with the touch of a button whenever camera shake is predicted.

Shooting modes and My Colors

Choose from 17 shooting modes including a range of Special Scene modes, optimised for specific shooting situations. Apply in-camera colour effects to images and movies with My Colors. Movies

Shoot long VGA movies with sound. Use the Time Lapse Movie function to capture changing scenes - a flower’s bloom, drifting clouds or a bustling city street - for accelerated playback as smooth video clips.

Customer Reviews

Compact and excellent value
Very sturdy and light camera which takes lovely sharp photographs whilst on the move. Fits into my pockets easily with no sharp edges and has a very good quality viewing screen. All the buttons are flush with the casing and it is a joy to use. (Complimented with a Crumpler case in scarlet red)

Lovely compact little camera
A quality camera at a great price. I had an Canon IXUS camera prior to this and decided to upgrade to get better quality pictures. I made an excellent choice, fits in your pocket/handbag, easy to use and simple to upload onto the computer. 100% happy with my choice!!

Perfect pocket camera
Bought this, matched to a Lowepro Napoli 5 case with an Extreme 3 SD card. What a superb combination! Great little camera that takes beautiful pictures. Up and ready to take a shot really really quick with plenty of features to get the perfect piccie. If you want loads of options without going through menus then perhaps you want a DSLR but for £100 you won't get a better quality package. Sure, some people go by "How many Megpixels is it?" but that is definitely not the whole story. This takes great shots. Used in all sorts of conditions and worked every time. Fits nicely in a pocket too, and the pouch is just the right size.
