Canon's 2007 slimline IXUS — 7.1MP CCD, 35-105mm 3x zoom, sold as SD1000/IXY 10 abroad
The Digital IXUS 70 was a slim style compact announced by Canon in February 2007, sold as the PowerShot SD1000 Digital ELPH in North America and the IXY Digital 10 in Japan. Its squared-off design revisited the look of the original 2000 IXUS, and the black version was offered as a tribute to that first model.
It carried a 7.1-megapixel 1/2.5-inch CCD behind a 35-105mm-equivalent 3x zoom at f/2.8-4.9. The 2.5-inch LCD had 230,000 dots, video recorded at 640x480 and 30fps, and storage was SD, SDHC or MMC. The compact NB-4L lithium-ion battery powered a body of roughly 86x54x19mm and 125g.
It suits buyers wanting a genuinely pocketable everyday camera with a clean, minimal look. Operation is almost entirely automatic, which makes it approachable for beginners, and the CCD-era colour rendering draws current digicam interest.
NB-4L batteries and chargers are plentiful from third parties, and SDHC support means modern cards up to 32GB generally work. Cycle the zoom to rule out the lens-error fault common to ageing IXUS models, check the screen and metal shell for wear, and confirm images are free of CCD streaking.
