Strauss wrote how he was given a laundry list of “fixes” on what to do and what to wear to get “the equivalent of the fanned peacock tail.” They all boil down to one purpose: to stand out and get talked about. Today, nothing sparks more conversation than a Canon Digital IXUS.
This Valentines, Canon introduces the perfect conversational pieces in the Digital IXUS 130 and the cutting-edge Digital IXUS 300 HS. The two became quick favorites among those who dress to impress owing to their unique marriage of powerful performance and sexy look.
The IXUS 300 HS pioneers the use of the High Sensitivity (HS) System that offers unprecedented imaging quality. This digital camera incorporates a 10-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and a DIGIC 4 Imaging Processor that performs superbly even in the most demanding lighting conditions.
Adding to the versatility of the IXUS 300 HS is its bright f/2.0 lens, giving it the largest aperture capability in the Digital IXUS line. With a wider aperture, faster shutter speeds can be selected to counter low-light situations. The lens also facilitates a shallow depth of field to achieve natural background blurring known to photographers as bokeh, which accentuates the subject.
The IXUS 300 HS is the first Digital IXUS camera capable of high-speed shooting. The camera can achieve up to 8.4 shots per second in High-Speed Burst mode, which is highly recommended for a couple’s outdoor activities.
In video capture, the IXUS 300 HS can shoot at 240 frames per second and then playback in Super Slow Motion at 30 frames per second for that cinematic look and feel. Images and videos can be viewed comfortably on the camera’s 3-inch, 16:9 widescreen LCD.
Available in red, black, silver, and white, the IXUS 300 HS makes a perfect Valentine’s companion in capturing romantic moments like a candle-lit dinner or an al fresco date with a panoramic view of the city.
The Digital IXUS 130 IS delivers a 4x Optical Zoom lens with 35mm equivalent focal range of 28-112mm in a svelte case. Only 17.8mm thick and weighing a mere 133g, Canon‘s slimmest camera is perfect for those who want their camera compact but loaded.
It features a Low Light mode where ISO speed can be raised to as much as 6400 to handle challenging shooting conditions. The IXUS 130 IS‘s Smart Auto mode has been enhanced to detect and analyze subject and scene information then automatically selects the most suitable shooting mode for best results.
A common feature in both cameras is the Smart Shutter. Besides having control of the shutter press and timer, the shutter can now be set to be triggered with the detection of a face, a smile, or even a wink.
Creative options that put the fun back in photography are also present in both, such as Fish-eye mode that alters the image for a circular wide-angle effect, and Miniature mode which gradually blurs the peripheral area of an image, causing large subjects to appear in miniature dollhouse-like proportions.
Perfectly combining style and substance, the Digital IXUS 300 HS and Digital IXUS 130 IS are a must for catching a partner’s eye this season of love.
