The Canon IXUS 960 IS is one of the most stylish cameras on the market. It is slightly large for slipping into a pocket, but some people may find the larger size an advantage when it comes to holding the camera steady to ensure blur free photographs. The body of the camera is made out of titanium.
The combination of a viewfinder and image stabilisation is also rare for this type of camera. A viewfinder can come in especially useful on bright sunny days if the LCD screen is difficult to see.
Power is supplied by a rechargeable lithium battery. These slim batteries help to keep the size of the camera down. Images are recorded onto SD and SDHC cards. Instead of building memory into the camera Canon supply a 32mb SD card with the IXUS 960 IS.
To held create portrait photos there is a special face detection focusing setting. This helps to produce sharper shots. If red eye is a problem for portraits then you have access to a red eye correction tool. |
