![]() | MPN: 5699B006AA The user-friendly Canon Ixus 230 HS is a compact yet strong metal-boded digital camera packed with outstanding technology that makes easy work of capturing stunning photos. The Ixus 230 HS is built around Canon's HS technology, which uses a high-sensitivity 12.1 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and the latest DIGIC 4 image processing engine to creative beautifully crisp and detailed images. The Canon Ixus 230 HS offers intelligent shooting power with a 8x wide angle optical zoom that's ideal for a range of shooting scenarios, from family events to the great outdoors. The 12 megapixel capacity also gives you the rich detail to experiment with larger prints and creative cropping. When you want to point and shoot, Smart Auto mode analyses your shooting conditions and adjusts all the setting to get the best possible results every time. Get creative with high-speed burst mode lets you take 8.7 shots per second at 2.5 megapixel definition, while Super Slow Motion Movie captures a staggering 240fps and plays them back at normal speed for a spectacular slo-mo effect. The Canon Ixus 230 HS supports 720p HD video with stereo sound, and you can frame it all on the large, bright 3 inch LCD screen. Optical image stabilisation reduces blurring caused by hand shake, low light or zooming. Also available in Black - 598ZZ. Useful info:
