Canon - Digital IXUS 60 guide

Features

The 3x optical zoom lens has a focal length equivalent to 35 - 105mm in 35mm format. The lens has a maximum aperture of f2.8 (wide) and f4.9 (tele). For close up photography the camera has a macro mode that allows you to get in as close as 3cms. The camera also has a 4x digital zoom feature giving a combined zoom capacity of 12x. Using digital zoom will lead to a loss of picture quality.



Fewer and fewer ultra compact digital cameras have viewfinders these days. Canon have found room to include one on the IXUS 60. This is an optical viewfinder. In addition to the viewfinder there is a large 2.5" LCD screen. This is made up of around 173,000 pixels. You can adjust the brightness of the LCD screen to help make it easier to see in bright or lowlight conditions.



The Digital IXUS 60 sports a standard f/2.8-to-f/4.9, 3x zoom lens (35mm-to-105mm equivalent) and offers a basic feature set highlighted by a few notable capabilities. The 64mm LCD is accompanied by an optical viewfinder, a rare combination in ultracompacts. The viewfinder is tiny but welcome, especially when battery power runs low. The camera has a handful of scene presets, plus a VGA movie mode with a QVGA 60fps setting for watching slow-motion clips. Of course, Canon's innumerable image-adjustment parameters let you tinker with contrast, sharpness, saturation and skin tone, as well as red, green and blue levels.



The IXUS 60 lacks certain features, such as built-in memory, image stabilisation, manual exposure control and a live histogram. These would have been handy, but they're not critical, and their absence hardly hurts the camera's appeal.


The built in flash unit has a range of 3.5m. This falls to around 2m when the zoom lens is being used. The flash modes available are Auto, On and Off. You can also access red eye reduction, slow sync and flash exposure lock.

Canon's compact digital IXUS range has a reputation for stylishness allied to a host of included features that will appeal both to amateurs - who just want to point and shoot - and to those who would like to have more control over their photo preparation. It comes as little surprise, then, that Canon has now released two more models (this one and the IXUS 65) that continue in the same tradition.

Stylistically there's little to choose between the earlier IXUS 55 and the 60. Once again it comes in a sleek, all-silver casing, is about the size and shape of a cigarette packet and weighs a laughable 145g. The main change is the increase in the pixel rate, from 5.0-megapixels to 6.0MP, whilst retaining the 3x optical zoom lens (f/2.8 - f/4.9). The image processor remains the DIGIC II which enables fast, responsive camera performance, while iSAPS technology analyses each scene and optimises key camera settings, or so it's claimed.

In all the Canon IXUS 60 is a well made digital camera and take a great photo. It is certainly one of the best pocket sized cameras on the market. Images are sharp and colours are strong. The only real drawback I can come up with is I would like to have see a quicker shutter response.
