Available in the market since the mid of March 2009, Canon’s latest model has an edge over its predecessor model Canon IXUS 85 IS/ Power Shot SD770 IS. Being only 18.4 mm thick and the slimmest camera in the current Canon range, it’s not just another typical digi-cam. It offers a 12.1 mega pixel High Resolution that not only allows you to take pictures as large as A2+ size but also enables the user to crop an image without disturbing its integrity.

Where most cameras lag behind in the area of panoramic view capturing, the compact and handy Canon IXUS 100 IS has the unique property of tracking objects even in their fastest motion owing to its Servo AF Mode, which makes it a must buy for sports lovers. Moreover, the Auto Face Detection feature can adjust multiple faces in a frame with par clarity facilitated by 3.0x optical zoom and a 2.5’’ Pure Colour LCD II screen in a very short time due to the DIGIC 4 Processor Service and the i- Contrast option provides appropriate lighting in dark areas without over blowing the already exposed sites. Blur images, mistimed shots, and the infamous red eye effect are all history now, thanks to this wonder gadget for including the brilliant Optical Image Stabilizer, Blink Detection and Auto Red Eye Correction features. And don’t worry about missing a group photo as the Face Self Timer monitors the shot until you join your pals for a snap!

The Canon’s slickest offer doesn’t end over here; it’s able to create print-sharp movies in High Definition (1280 x 720, 30fps) and equipped with HDMI port, it can run those clips on any HD Plasma or LCD for a detailed image preview and review. The Auto Scene Recognition and the optical view finder enable you to record impulsive and natural shots so that you don’t miss those funny moments!

Presented in four sizzling colours; red, golden, black and silver with a petite, smooth and glossy exterior, Canon IXUS 100 IS has redefined the style statement. Weather it’s a formal dinner, a birthday party or a football game with your friends, Canon IXUS 100 IS is both an elegant and chic accessory one can easily carry along anywhere & everywhere. The enhanced User- Interface option makes it an extremely user friendly thingamajig that can be operated without any trouble or confusion.

So, what are you waiting for….go get yourself the
