The Canon IXUS II (also known as Canon ELPH 2 or Ixy-320) of 1999 was one of Canon's famous small compact cameras for the APS film system, with all the APS extras. Canon was the first camera maker to realize that super compact cameras were the best they could offer for the small APS film cartridges. From the beginning Canon gave these cameras their distinguishing and exciting outer design. The IXUS range was the most successful APS camera series on the market. Canon's outstanding success as APS camera maker has made IXUS an important trademark in the compact camera market. Nowadays Canon still produces an IXUS line of compact cameras, but these new ones are digicams, not APS.
