Canon IXUS

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.
