Uncompromising style and great value are fused in the Digital IXUS 95 IS. Ease of use is assured by Smart Auto mode, which uses Scene Detection to intelligently optimise settings for better pictures. Classic IXUS design – The Digital IXUS 95 IS has a light, compact design that slips easily into a pocket or purse. It comes in a choice of four colours: silver, grey, blue or pink. 10 Megapixels – A resolution of 10 Megapixels lets you turn photos into poster-size prints, or creatively crop images without losing the detail necessary for larger prints. 3.0x zoom – A 3.0x optical zoom lens gives you total framing flexibility when composing shots. Canonâ optical Image Stabilizer works to deliver blur-free results throughout the zoom range. Scene Detection Technology for effortless ease – Smart Auto mode uses intelligent Scene Detection Technology to identify the scene based on brightness, contrast, distance and overall hue. The camera then selects the most appropriate scene mode – from a choice of 18 – to obtain automatically perfect settings, for effortless point-and-shoot operation. Anti-blur with Motion Detection Technology – Motion Detection Technology uses a range of advanced methods to ascertain movement of both camera and subject, plus the speed at which this motion occurs. The optimum ISO is then automatically set for any situation. Face Detection Technology – A suite of Face Detection technologies detects up to 35 faces in a shot, adjusting focus, exposure, flash settings and white balance for optimal results with natural-looking skin tones. Faces can even be detected in profile, at an angle to the camera, or from long distances. FaceSelf-Timer takes a shot when an extra face is detected in the frame making group photos easy
While we love those fast, high-capacity CompactFlash cards guaranteed to capture every frame of HD video shot by modern DSLRs, occasionally it would be nice to process those pixels to an SDHC card. The convenience of SD or the fact that you likely have more than a few unused cards lying around is enough justification to switch, at least temporarily. Fortunately, Akihabara News did a quick hands-on demonstration of the PhotoFast CR-7000 doing the SDHC-to-CF adapter thing inside of Canon’s ultra-quick 5D Mark II. Sure, it won’t capture 1080p video, but it seems to handle bursting reasonable well in a pinch. Check the full read over at Aki after peeping the video after the break.
