Canon IXUS 50 Digital Camera - 5.0 MP

Canon,a leader in photographic and imaging technology, releases the 5.0 Megapixel Digital IXUS 50, based on the sleek compact body shape of recently released Digital IXUS 40.
The camera features a 3.0x zoom, a large 2.0"" LCD, high quality VGA video clips at 30fps limited in length only by the capacity of the memory card, high speed USB 2.0, 'My Colour' in-camera colour editing and a Print/Share button for easy PictBridge direct printing and fast file uploads. Its 5.0 Megapixel sensor allows detailed enlargements up to A3 size. For fast start up times, responsive performance and superb, accurate colours and image rendering, the camera features the same high speed DIGIC II processor found in Canon's latest professional series digital SLR cameras.
The Digital IXUS 50 combines the very latest cutting edge technologies and specifications with uncompromising design and build quality, the smallest ever 5.0 Megapixel optical zoom camera continues the IXUS tradition of superbly designed and specified products that just feel great from the second you pick them up.

Power and style:
Key to the cutting edge miniaturisation of the Digital IXUS 50 is the ultra-high refractive index aspherical (UA) 3x optical zoom lens, which delivers outstanding optical performance and corner-to-corner clarity in an exceptionally compact form. It combines with the 5.0 Megapixel sensor to deliver superb images suited for photo quality prints to A3 size.

Big screen movies:
Review and share images and movie clips on the large high-definition 2.0'' LCD. Night Display mode automatically improves visibility when it is dark, while the user-controlled Quick-bright function lets you frame/review comfortably in low-light conditions. Record and playback extended 30 fps VGA movie clips with sound (up to 1GB files possible). Analyse fast action sequences by recording QVGA quality at 60 fps and watching in slow motion.

Groundbreaking technology:
Integrating a Canon DIGIC II processor, the Digital IXUS 50 has power to burn. DIGIC II links all key camera functions, driving fast auto-focus, outstanding camera performance, quick start-up times and first-class image quality. Like a hidden photographer's assistant, iSAPS uses DIGIC II's power to analyse the scene and optimise key camera settings even before the shutter release is pressed. 10 shooting modes including 6 scene modes combine with 9-point auto-focus system (AiAF) to deliver consistently brilliant results in every situation.

Get creative:
Create exciting visual effects with My Colors by making favourite colours more vivid, swapping one colour with another, or making all but one area of an image monochrome.

Photo fun:
For full colour prints within seconds, simply connect the camera to any PictBridge compatible photo printer and push the Print/Share button. It's that easy. With a Canon SELPHY CP series printer, you can even print handy ID photo prints and Movie prints.

Editing and sharing:
Canon's ZoomBrowser EX(for Windows)and ImageBrowser (for Macintosh) help you arrange albums, crop photographs and adjust image contrast and brightness. Access to CANON iMAGE GATEWAY gives you 100MB online space for your own personal gallery, for sharing with family and friends.
