Stylish and slender
Elegantly designed with an all-metal finish, the Digital IXUS 55 is slender enough to slip into your pocket.

Resolution
A powerful 5.0 Megapixel CCD sensor delivers photo quality prints up to A3 size with room to spare for post-shoot cropping.

Ultra compact 3x optical zoom
An ultra-high refractive index aspherical (UA) 3x optical zoom lens delivers crystal-clear performance in an exceptionally compact form.

Visionary technology
The Digital IXUS 55's DIGIC II image processor ensures fast, responsive camera performance and superbly rendered colours. iSAPS analyses each scene and optimises key camera settings even before a shot is taken. The result is immediate high quality images.

Huge LCD
An extra large 2.5" LCD brings pleasure to framing and reviewing your creations. The monitor's wide viewing angle provides improved visibility for sharing playback with friends and family. QuickBright gives instant screen brightness in bright outdoor conditions. Night Display automatically improves visibility in low light for easy night shooting.

Shooting modes
Choose from 15 shooting modes to get that perfect shot. Seven preset Special Scene Modes help achieve great results in tricky lighting conditions. My Colors allows special in-camera colour effects to be applied to images and movies in real time.
