Canon Ixus 1000HS

Canon marks 10 years of its stylish IXUS digital camera series with the launch of the Canon IXUS 1000 HS (also known as Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS in the USA) - a high-performance camera in a luxurious metal body. A completely new addition to the IXUS series, the Canon IXUS 1000 HS takes the range to new heights, fusing high-tech features and signature IXUS styling to provide premium image quality and head-turning looks in one outstanding package. Available in silver, brown and pink, the Canon IXUS 1000 HS is one of the most advanced IXUS models to date, exemplifying the innovation that has been consistently present in every generation of the IXUS series.

10 Megapixel Canon IXUS 1000 HS camera

A compact but powerful 10x optical zoom lens makes it the slimmest super zoom camera of its kind anywhere in the world while Full HD video capture allows users to record smooth, 1080p movies. The Canon IXUS 1000 HS is also the second IXUS to feature the HS System, combining a high-sensitivity, 10.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor with powerful DIGIC 4 processing to provide fantastic all-round image quality and high-speed shooting.

Canon IXUS 1000 HS camera features

A perfect combination of performance and portability, the advanced feature-set of the Canon IXUS 1000 HS helps users to get the perfect shot every time. The exceptionally compact 10x optical zoom lens showcases the pioneering optical expertise trusted by millions of Canon owners world-wide, ensuring the benefits of a high zoom lens are not lost for the sake of pocketability. As a result of unique engineering, the Canon IXUS 1000 HS offers both - boasting a slim profile that will comfortably fit into a pocket or handbag. A highly-effective optical Image Stabilizer designed with advanced lens-shift technology allows users to capture sharp images in darker conditions or when the zoom is extended, providing the perfect tool for consistently capturing clearly defined, blur-free images. A new, intelligent Handheld Night Scene mode also makes it easy to take beautiful night shots without a tripod, combining several shots taken in succession into one sharp and optimally-exposed picture.

Record full HD videos with the Canon IXUS 1000 HS

The advanced video performance of the Canon IXUS 1000 HS is among the best in Canon’s compact range, shooting HD movies in full 1920x1080p resolution. Full HD movies are captured at 24 frames per second, providing a smooth, cinematic account of the action being recorded, while stereo sound complements the pictures with clear, CD-quality audio. The lens’ quiet motor allows users to use the optical zoom in Movie mode with minimum audio interference, and a Dynamic Image Stabilizer mode reduces the distracting camera shake effect produced when recording video while moving. Smart Auto in Movie mode immediately identifies the shooting scene and selects the optimal settings for 21 different situations so the user doesn’t have to. The Miniature Mode in movies adds a completely new dimension to video footage - shooting at low frame rates with designated portions of the picture blurred for dramatic and compelling miniature-style, timelapse videos. The integrated HDMI-mini port provides an instant way to share images and video directly on any HDMI-compatible screen, including HDTVs.
