Canon Ixus 285 HS compact camera

Canon Ixus 285 HS - a camera with great features

The Canon Ixus 285 HS combines high resolution with versatility. Inside the sleek body of the camera is a 20.2 megapixel 1/2.3″ CMOS sensor and Digic 4+ processor. It's a combination that produces clean, high-resolution images, and performs well in difficult lighting conditions up to ISO 3200 sensitivity. There's also enough speed to get up to 7.2 frames per second if need be. FullHD 1080p video recording is included, as well as in-camera time-lapse video when you want to create dynamic content. For your shooting buddy, there's a 12X optical zoom lens which in cinema size terms is equivalent to a 25-300mm focal length. A dynamic image stabilizer is a good addition, especially in telephoto. The compact camera is equipped with a 3″ touchscreen that's intuitive to use, as well as built-in Wi-Fi and NFC. Images are transferred wirelessly and remote access is hassle-free.

The rear display is a 3″ 461K pixel LCD panel.

The included NB-11LH rechargeable lithium-ion battery produces around 260 frames on charge when working with the screen on, and around 370 frames in ECO mode.
