Canon IXUS II

The Canon IXUS II is a compact APS film camera that emphasizes style and portability. It features a 23-46mm 2x zoom lens and a sophisticated autofocus system within a very small chassis. The camera includes a built-in flash with red-eye reduction and multiple shooting modes, including a self-timer. Its ultra-compact dimensions made it one of the smallest zoom cameras of its era, appealing to those who needed a camera that could fit easily into a pocket. Prospective buyers should check the motorized zoom for any grinding noises or hesitation. SDS verifies that the APS film cartridge chamber opens and closes correctly, as the specialized loading mechanism can be delicate. We also test the shutter button responsiveness and ensure the rear LCD displays all shooting information clearly. As with all APS cameras, we recommend checking the availability of film processing before purchase, as this format is no longer in production.
