| The EOS IX's fast AF response is
due to the incorporation of the same multi-point AIM system used in Canon's top-of-the-line
35mm SLR camera, the EOS-1N. It may not have the 5-point sensor like the EOS-1N but
its 3-point sensor is very responsive when it comes to tracking a moving subject. Comparison of the widths between a Classic and HDTV print*
*Due to DTP software used, the HDTV thumbnail looks smaller than the C version on the screen. HDTV Print Gallery All APS cameras, regardless of the model, captures the scene as a full-frame HDTV format even if the camera's switch has been set to Classic or Panorama. The HDTV format is the actual framing for all APS models. When the Advanced Photo System was being developed, this format was chosen as the standard due to its 16:9 aspect ratio (also known as the 1:85.1 widescreen movie format), which is also the screen standard adopted for the High-Definition Television (HDTV) by TV and other electronics manufacturers.
As mentioned earlier, the data recording in the APS film strip will enable the printing machine to know which format a particular frame was captured in and will print out the required size automatically. As such, a classic print (4 x 6) is a trimmed version of a fullframe HDTV photo (4 x 8) while a Panorama (4 x 12) is an enlarged portion from the same frame. The Panorama format allowed me to have a tightly cropped print of the Honda F-1 watch, which was shot with the EF 100mm Macro lens, as shown above. Is the EOS IX a worthy investment? If you would like to venture into the world of APS photography with your existing EF lenses, the EOS IX is an excellent choice. If you are looking for something even more compact, then Canon's range of IXUS cameras is the better choice for you. You will not be disappointed with the EOS IX if you buy one. << Back to Main . 1 . 2 . 3 . |
