Canon announces the arrival of the latest and most advanced touch screen IXUS – the new IXUS 210. Available in black, gold, silver and pink, the Canon IXUS 210 offers a sculpted metal exterior, a 14.1 Megapixel image sensor and 24mm genuine Canon lens for premium imaging performance to match its iconic IXUS styling.

The new Canon IXUS 210 will focus on bringing an array of interesting picture features and enhancements above and beyond making sure you can just point and shoot.

All controlled via a capacitive touchscreen on the back, the display was responsive and easy to zip through the menus. Icon’s are simply pressed to access things like ISO and even after a quick play we forgot that the camera lacked all the traditional buttons.

Picture modes of worth are the “miniature” mode that is a basic tilt shift effect – making everything look like you’re shooting a model image – and a fisheye lens option that you can adjust the strength of (low, medium and high).
