Canon IXUS V Digital Camera

Canon IXUS V Digital Camera
Canon have taken the popular Digital IXUS and added a "v" for video. The Digital IXUS v (known as the S110 Digital Elph in the US and IXY Digital 200 in Japan) builds on the original Digital IXUS platform by firsty adding the ability to take short movie clips of either 160 x 120, 320 x 240 or 640 x 480 resolution. And secondly support for direct printing (to Canon compatible printers). The only visual difference between last years Digital IXUS and the Digital IXUS v is the small gold coloured microphone on the front case.
