I bought a camera for my wife. She works for a drug promotion company, works with doctors and pharmacies. She needs a camera both for work and just as a nice accessory. She was given one cell, but she lived for exactly a week. The cause of death was a fall on tiles. Taking pictures with a smartphone did not work. Smart seems to be good, but the aperture ratio is not enough and the detail in the end is so-so. That is, it’s quite good for Instagram, but it’s not suitable for detailed photos of large storefronts with a layout. So I had to buy this little device. I bought a variant of a rich purple color, this is exactly what my wife liked. In a streamlined metal case, with slightly recessed buttons, it turned out to be a stylish little thing. This is one of the most compact and modest digital cameras available on the market. And, with all this, it has a matrix of 20 (!) honest megapixels and a twelve-fold (!) zoom. By the way, this is the top model of the Xus line, so that's not all. The camera is equipped with Wi-Fi and eNeFS modules, which are needed for wireless transfer of photos. You just need to touch the camera with your smartphone and thanks to the operation of eNeFSi, a Wi-Fi connection is established, that is, you do not need to poke around in the menu and enter passwords. It is precisely for this convenience that I love modern technology most of all. The camera takes decent pictures, the detail is good. The flash turns on by itself when needed. The flash is not very powerful for 3-4 meters, it is enough, but more is not needed. Able to shoot high-definition video with a resolution of 1920x1080. The case is frankly how much, so it’s better not to use this camera without a wrist strap. Sometimes the automation works incorrectly and the pictures are blurry, but, according to my wife, this does not happen often. |
The small digital camera of the Canon IXUS series is included in the category of ultra-compact, which is distinguished by its light weight (less than 200 g) and the minimum thickness of the body (up to 3 cm).
Sensor
A 20-megapixel sensor with a typical size of 1 / 2.3 "fits in such a "baby". With its help, you can get good photos and videos with enough light. In other cases, you should not count on super results, because the lens aperture is f /3.6-7.0 is not at all conducive to shooting in poor lighting conditions, especially at the long end (at a focal length of 300 mm when using optical zoom or 600 mm with digital zoom).
Wide coverage
Covering a wide range of focal lengths thanks to the 12x optical zoom makes the model a versatile solution for a variety of types of shooting. It is convenient to photograph landscapes and portraits on it, as well as to make macro shots from a minimum distance of 1 cm. But the camera is not very suitable for dynamic scenes — its rate of fire does not exceed 2.5 fps.
Wireless connections
In the arsenal of the camera, wireless Wi-Fi and NFC modules have found a home, which are used to transfer footage to a smartphone or tablet. Another way to use them lies in the ability to remotely release the camera shutter using a mobile gadget. However, it should be remembered that active wireless connections reduce the duration of work on a single battery charge, which is already very small (about 180 frames).
Creation
Do not try to look in the camera menu for manual settings and shooting in the “raw” RAW format — the camera simply does not support them. But Canon Digital IXUS 285 HS offers the user a range of subject shooting programs. Among them, the creative mode stands out as a special line. It involves shooting a series of shots with different effects and cropping, from which you can later choose the result you like.
