Canon’s brand-new high-end compress, a IXUS 300HS, does dual things good: shoots in low-light, as well as shoots during high-speed. The stainless-steel bodied camera will take pictures during up to ISO 3200 (or ISO 6400 if you dump to the reduce resolution) as well as constraint video during possibly 720p, or switch down the fortitude to 320×240 for cinema during the silly 240fps.

There’s some-more. The lens, the 28-105mm equivalent zoom, will open up to the good, bright ƒ2.0 when used during a wide-angle finish (falling to ƒ5.3 at a telephoto end) and a 3-inch LCD has the wide, 16:9 aspect comparative measure (a small uncanny for stills, though good for video). Finally, the sensor is the essential 10MP.

The IXUS 300HS, that is labeled during £380 (and which will doubtless be reduction than a $560 approach conversion when it gets the US price) looks to come somewhere below a glorious Canon S90 in conditions of picture extravagant (the sensor is not as big in a IXUS, for example) but on top of other compacts in a operation, with both a tidy slo-mo mode as well as a primer controls (program, shutter priority, orifice priority as well as primer have been all choices). In fact, as the take anywhere, slide-in-the-pocket digicam, it looks preferred.
