As stated earlier, the IXUS X-1 comes into its own when used in out-of-the-ordinary situations. Operating the camera's switches and buttons while wearing gloves or other sports gear is not a problem. All the controls are positioned together, are noticeably bigger and have a special grip, so shooting your desired pictures is easy in most of these situations. Of course, underwater photography requires special features to make using the IXUS X-1 as effortless as it is on land. A clever Underwater Macro function helps combat the illusion of being closer to the sea life than you really are. You can get close-up shots as close as 45cm and still achieve great images. Like Canon's other APS models, the IXUS X-1 is capable of shooting in all the three formats: Classic (C), HDTV (H) and Panorama (P). Mid-roll rewind is also possible.
