The Canon IXY DIGITAL L2 (pronounced "el two") replaces the popular IXY DIGITAL L released in October 2003. The result of meticulous attention to design, materials and finish, the new model raises the benchmark for camera styling, offering users a choice of four high-fashion color variations* - Platinum Silver, Star Garnet, Midnight Blue and Flannel Gray - with distinct surface finishes that complement each color.
The IXY DIGITAL L2 incorporates a 1/2.5" 5.0-megapixel CCD sensor and a high-resolution 6.4 mm (equivalent to 39 mm in 35 mm format) f/2.8 single-focal-length auto-focus lens. In addition to the more powerful CCD, new features for increased imaging performance include wide-area 9-point AiAF, enabling accurate auto-focusing with unrestricted framing regardless of the position of the subject within the viewfinder, and Canon's SI (Super Intelligent) sensor, which automatically detects the camera's orientation, ensuring optimum auto-focus, auto-exposure and auto-white-balance performance. Moreover, Canon's proprietary DIGIC image engine enables processing performance far exceeding that of conventional processors. As a result, the model realizes high image quality, fast initial start-up times, high-speed continuous shooting for long bursts, and low power consumption.
Other features for enhanced functionality include: a selection of five Scene Modes (Portrait, Landscape, Night Snapshot, Indoor, and Underwater), Canon's one-touch Print/Share button, ID Photo Print, and Movie Print. Moreover, a Super Macro Function enables autofocus macro shooting from a distance of 3 cm, and a Quick Shooting Function achieves an almost lag-free shutter response to ensure that photo opportunities are not lost.
