Canon IXUS 130 features a wide angle lens
Designed and manufactured to premium standards, the Canon IXUS 130 camera features genuine Canon 28mm wide-angle 4x zoom lenses  – perfect for group photos and landscapes at the widest setting, and great for portraits or shooting distant subjects using the zoom. Canon’s renowned optical Image Stabilizer system also counters camera shake, helping to prevent image blur, particularly when shooting at full zoom or in low light conditions.

Techradar reviews the Canon IXUS 105 IS and writes:
“The 105’s image performance is everything we’ve come to expect from Canon’s mid-range shooters. Even at ISO 1600 it produces excellent results we’d be happy to print at reasonable sizes. Noise reduction can be a little aggressive but things could be worse. We’re also fans of the tidy design, good looks, and reassuring-feeling build quality.”

Cnet reviews the Canon IXUS 105 IS and writes:
“The 4x zoom is handy and the 12.1-megapixel sensor delivers decent pictures, but, on their own, they certainly don’t justify the Canon IXUS 105’s price. You’re not really getting much in the way of technical innovation, either. What you’re paying for is the IXUS design, style and build quality. The 105 is more of a classy gift than clever tech.”

Canon Digital IXUS 130 equipped with 2.7″ LCD
A high resolution 6.9cm (2.7”) PureColor II G LCD features a new tempered glass layer, providing improved visibility during shooting and playback. ‘Hints & Tips’ messages displayed in the user interface also offer step-by-step guidance around the camera menu, making it even easier for users to find the features they want to access.

Canon IXUS 130 digital camera shooting modes

Users are also offered a range of new and innovative shooting modes that make the Canon IXUS 130 as fun to use as it is stylish. Fish-eye Effect replicates the effect achieved using a fish-eye lens, while Miniature Effect dramatically transforms the shooting scene into a miniature landscape, making subjects appear of model scale. A Low Light mode also removes the difficulty of shooting in dark conditions, making it perfect for capturing the natural ambience when shooting in low light.

Canon IXUS 130 camera technologies
Smart Auto with Scene Detection Technology helps users take great photos by automatically detecting the shooting scene, giving users the freedom to simply concentrate on taking the picture. Detecting 22 different scenes for the IXUS 130, Smart Auto is able to determine a wide range of shooting conditions – such as Portrait, Landscape or Macro – before applying the optimum settings required to capture the perfect shot. i-Contrast analyses images to deliver perfect exposure, adding light and detail to dark sections of images while reducing blow out in brighter areas. Smart Flash Exposure intelligently adjusts the flash to suit both the subject and shooting conditions – in daylight, for example, Smart Flash Exposure will detect and eliminate face shadows caused by bright sunlight by engaging the flash. Motion Detection Technology combats blur by monitoring camera shake, brightness and subject movement, and automatically sets the shutter speed  and ISO level to deliver blur-free results. Servo AF/AE technology, available with the IXUS 130, also tracks moving subjects, maintaining both focus and exposure right up until the moment the user takes the shot.

Canon IXUS 130 features Face detection technology
Face Detection Technology provides perfect people shots with the minimum of effort. Up to 35 faces can be identified at once, with the camera ensuring subjects are well exposed and in focus. Auto Red-Eye correction also detects and removes any red-eye immediately after a picture is taken. FaceSelf-Timer makes large group shots and self portraits simple by using Face Detection Technology to activate the shutter. Instead of the user setting a timer and rushing into position, FaceSelf-Timer cleverly monitors the scene and waits for an additional face to appear before taking the photo two seconds later. Multiple shots can also be taken to ensure the desired shot is captured, allowing users to get the picture they want every time.
