Canon IXUS 285 HS A Digital Camera - Silver Colour

Canon have introduced the IXUS 285 HS A, a "refreshed" version of the discontinued IXUS 285 HS point-and-shoot compact camera from way back in 2016.

The biggest change to this new 20 megapixel, 1080p video, 12x optical zoom IXUS is the memory card slot going from SD to microSD "to help meet emerging needs in the compact camera market". 

The only other changes are that you can no longer download images from the camera to a computer over Wi-Fi and you cannot wirelessly send images from the camera to a PictBridge printer. This is an ultra-slim compact camera which features a 20.2 million pixel high-sensitivity CMOS sensor accompanied by a 12x optical zoom, which gives you an equivalent of 25-300mm in 35mm terms. 

There's also two types of digital zoom available which boosts that reach to 24x and 48x and Intelligent IS (image stabilisation) is included to help keep blur to a minimum. This camera has a Digic 4+ processor and a number of automatic and scene modes which you can shoot in. There's also Creative Shot, which creates five different images with digital filters and crops (along with a standard, clean image) applied from one press of the shutter release button.

It is capable of recording full HD videos, while there's also Hybrid Auto which creates a montage video to accompany stills you have taken during a given day. 

Pocketable style

This ultra-slim and stylish metal-bodied IXUS is easy to carry with you wherever you go and features a flexible 25mm ultra-wide 12x optical zoom lens with 24x ZoomPlus; so you can easily capture every moment, near or far, in superb quality photos and movies. Auto Zoom helps you select the best framing at the touch of a button.

Superb quality

Enjoy exceptional quality, detailed images – even in low light - thanks to a 20.2 Megapixels CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4+ processing. An intelligent optical Image Stabilizer ensures sharp stills and steady movies in any situation, while the large 7.5 cm (3.0”) LCD screen allows easy shooting and playback.

Making great movies is fun and easy. With one touch of a button you can effortlessly shoot great Full HD movies (1080p) in MP4 format. Experience the creative versatility of shooting movies using the optical zoom and still enjoy sharp, steady results thanks to the Dynamic Image Stabilizer.
