Canon PowerShot SD100 (Digital IXUS II) Review
The PowerShot SD100 (Digital IXUS II) is Canon's latest
ultra-compact digital camera, from a body design and lens point of view
it is loosely based around the PowerShot S230 (Digital IXUS v³) which
was announced at Photokina
last year. Although there are several subtle improvements over the
S230 the SD100 will go down in Canon history for one reason, it's the
first Canon digital camera to use SD / MMC storage instead of Compact
Flash. This has allowed the designers to shave a couple of millimeters
off the camera's depth, width and height, although not as much as we would
have expected. The SD100 has a two times optical zoom lens (improved),
stainless steel case, Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery, DiGiC processing
and an orientation sensor.
The PowerShot SD100 around the world
Just like other ultra-compact's from Canon the PowerShot SD100 will have
different names around the world, this is for historical branding reasons.
Being based in the UK I was supplied with a 'Digital IXUS II', the only
difference is the name stamped on the front.
- US/Canada: Canon PowerShot SD100 Digital ELPH
- Europe/SE Asia: Canon Digital IXUS II
- Japan: Canon IXY DIGITAL 30
Review Notes
Because the SD100 is so similar to the S400 in its design and operation
some sections of this review were based on text from our S400 review.
