The Canon IXUS X-1 is a compact APS camera, introduced by Canon in November 1999. It is one of the quirkier IXUS APS cameras, being designed for underwater use. The body has a large viewfinder, shutter release button and best shot selector dial for use whilst wearing diving equipment. The film and battery doors, and the date/time/message setting and mid-roll rewind buttons are hidden inside a hinged base which is waterproofed by an orange (rectangular) o-ring and a very positive catch. The selector dial features a "fish" icon, for underwater use. The lens has a fairly wide angle, at 23mm (approx 29mm 35mm equivalent) - useful where there may be limited distance of visibility underwater.
Unlike on other IXUS APS cameras, where the viewfinder is shuttered to cover the different APS formats, the X-1 rotates different bright-lines into the finder. Also unlike other IXUSes, the flash settings are set on the mechanical mode dial, rather than by pressing miniscule buttons.
The IXUS X-1 name was used in Europe; in America, it was called the ELPH SPORT , and in Japan, the IXY D5.
Power comes from a CR2 3v battery.
