Canon Ixus 960 “superbly easy to use”
18 Sep 2007
The new Canon Ixus 960 IS compact digital camera is easy to use and has been applauded for its photo and video quality, according to a recent PC Pro review.
Released as a replacement for the now-discontinued Canon Ixus 900 Ti, the new camera has a 12.1-megapixel sensor – an improvement on its predecessor’s 10-megapixel sensor – although photographers can also opt for eight-megapixel capture if they prefer.
According to the reviewer, the camera is comparable to the more-expensive Nikon P5100 and does not disappoint as a “quality point-and-shoot, carry anywhere model”.
It also features image stabilisation, so photographers can take handheld shots in low light, as well as a video function with full audio recording 30 frames per second at 640 x 480, although both zoom and focus functions are locked while video is recording.
According to Canon, the Ixus 960 IS also boasts a 3.7x optical zoom lens, a red-eye correction function, 18 shooting modes and a 2.5-inch LCD viewscreen.
