Canon IXUS 300 HS, a new premium compact camera with manual controls
Often the category of compact cameras is also the reputation of machines buckled only point and shoot, in recent years this trend has been selling less and more and more manufacturers are accustomed to present market devices able to offer manual controls for these types of cameras.
Canon IXUS 300 HS is the latest in this category and has some very interesting technical features, talk about a compact camera with a stabilized lens the focal length equivalent to 28-105mm (3.8x) f/2.0-5.3 able to offer with all ‘ the classic user manual modes P / A / S / M.
The sensor is a 10 megapixel CCD and DIGIC IV processor is the well-known, already seen on the likes of the EOS 50D SLR, 7D, 550D and Canon S90 as a compact luxury and G11. The screen has a diagonal of 3 inches, ie 7.5cm.
The camera in question points to become the reference category, the combination between the sensor and DIGIC IV HS high sensitivity will allow you to take sharp images in any lighting condition. Just to give some numbers, Canon IXUS 300 HS has a maximum sensitivity set at ISO 3200 but in case of emergency it is possible to extend this to ISO 6400, but lost a large part of the resolution established in this case only 2.5 megapixels.
Canon IXUS 300 HS also allows continuous shooting speed of 8.4 images per second and is obviously capable of recording high-definition video at 720p resolution.
The camera will be available in markets around the world beginning in late May at a price of 419 euros.

Trivia: Lady Gaga 4G iPhone commercials?
Examiner.com has recently revealed a probable deal between the American pop queen, Lady Gaga, and Apple to bring the singer in the TV commercials of the future 4G iPhone. 9to5Mac wanted to investigate and asked for information about the record company of the young artis, the Poydor, who responded with a curt "no comment"!
The news affects both the American public and international: a move would surely apt to choose as the face of the much smartphone, produced by one of the most popular technology companies in the world, just as an artist beloved by millions of fans, who can boast sales of ten million albums and 35 million singles worldwide.
The singer does not sound extraneous to the spots on new technologies: Lady Gaga has been spokesperson for Polaroid and Monster. It is also interesting to note that in June will also begin advertising the Monster Ball, the yolks of the singer from the 28th of that month will touch 31 cities in the United States and Canada.
Just wait for the presentation of the new iPhone during the WWDC in early June 2010 and the publication of new commercials to confirm or disprove this rumor!
