The '''Canon IXUS''' (also known as '''Canon ELPH''' or '''Canon IXY''') was [[Canon]]'s famous small compact stylish contribution to the launch of the [[APS]] film system in 1996, a camera with a lot of the APS extras. The appearance of the IXUS was a milestone on the way to modern compact camera design. Canon gave its first APS compacts an exciting individual note with the dark circle around the lens contrasting to the metal body. What stayed of its concept is the rectangled small camera body with zoom lens in the middle. Many APS compacts and even more digital compacts have been styled like that since.

The Canon IXUS (- the first of the IXUS APS cameras - also marketed as Canon ELPH or Canon IXY) was Canon's famous small compact stylish contribution to the launch of the APS film system in May 1996.

It was a fully featured camera with a lot of the APS extras. The IXUS was a milestone of modern compact camera design. Canon gave its first APS compacts an exciting individual note with the dark circle around the lens contrasting with the metal body. What stayed of its concept is the small, rectangular camera body with zoom lens in the middle. Many APS compacts and even more digital compacts have been styled like that since.

The IXUS body is a substantial metal-framed affair in a stainless-steel type finish, with the on-off button in the plastic disc containing the lens. The wrist strap has a small plastic lump in it, which is there to hold a pin to work the tiny buttons for setting the date and message. Many of these cameras have a minor fault, as shown in the "closed" picture - the flash does not close completely.

A special edition of gold-finished cameras was produced to commemorate Canon's 60th anniversary in September 1997. These had 18carat gold plating on some parts, and came in presentation boxes, together with a gold-trimmed remote control and a leather case to hold camera and control[1].
