The IXUS 230 HS compact digital camera packs a powerful 8x optical zoom lens into an ultra-slim body. Anything that might make someone balk at using a telescopic digital camera, such as a large grip or a protruding lens, is abolished along with the conventional image of what a telescopic digital camera should be. With this one camera, users will realize that "big pictures" can come from a compact size. And thanks to CANON's unique curvature design, the camera possesses a supple form, which is combined with superior quality derived from high-grade alumite treatment. Available in a full range of six color variation.
