A solid combination of form and function is the cornerstone of the Canon IXUS 960 IS digital compact camera. Canon set out to build a compact camera that makes it easy to take superior photos. Canon also wanted a digital compact camera with a sophisticated, stylish look. The Canon IXUS 960 IS is the successful embodiment of those goals.
Style
In terms of style, the camera itself is sleek and striking with its titanium body. Titanium is one of the strongest metals, so the durable body of the IXUS 960 IS will hold up well over time. Yet, titanium is also lightweight, so the camera is comfortable and convenient to carry just about everywhere. Smooth curves make for an ergonomic fit when taking pictures.
Image quality
One of the biggest benefits the IXUS 960 IS has to offer is the ability for everyone to take beautiful photos, regardless of skill level or experience. An array of special features combined together make it easy for anyone to capture crisp, vivid images.
With its 12.1 megapixels alone, the Canon IXUS 960 IS is already capable of delivering the highest image quality. The integrity of the image is maintained at prints up to A2 in size. Even sharp poster-size prints are possible.
Canon's DIGIC III processor, built into the IXUS 960 IS, reduces noise for a clearer picture. The processor is also responsible for the camera's fast performance.
Canon IXUS delivers blur-free images. Canons Optical Image Stabilizer enables the capture of sharp photos in two of the most challenging settings high zoom range and low lighting. The Optical Image Stabilizer allows you to take full advantage of the camera's Canon 3.7x optical zoom lens. The high ISO 1600 also helps prevent blurry pictures by reducing camera shake.
Additionally, with 18 different shooting modes, you automatically get the right settings for the lighting and location. The My Colours feature lets you customise your photos with special effects.
Better portraits
The Canon IXUS 960 IS includes features to help even beginning photographers take excellent portraits. There's in-camera red eye removal to eliminate those imperfections that take away from the overall picture. Red eye can be removed in playback mode.
Centering your subject is made easier with the camera's Face Detect technology. Face Detect technology helps you get the right focus, lighting and exposure for photographing people by automatically selecting each of those settings for you.
