Canon Ixus 300 HS Now Out

The highly attractive Canon Ixus 300 HS is now available to buy. It's the first Canon camera to feature a backlit CMOS sensor, just like Sony Exmor R sensors we've come to know and love.

It also has the brightest lens found so far in a compact camera (f/2 in wide angle), and has an impressive burst mode at 8.4 continuous frames per second.
