Editorial Reviews : Canon incorporates the best features of its standard SLR cameras and Advanced Photo System features to produce the EOS IX Lite. It's smaller than most SLR cameras but retains all of the important features you've come to expect for creative control. Because it is an APS camera, film handling is fully automatic. Print quality improvement, index print sheets, and three different picture formats for traditional, wide angle, and panoramic shots are all built in. The EOS IX Lite offers automatic adjustment for close-ups, portraits, landscapes, action scenes, and night shots. There is a high-performance three- point autofocus system, and an advanced built-in flash that activates automatically or can be shut off manually. This model includes a 22-55mm zoom lens, the ideal basic lens for the EOS IX Lite. The lens has an ultrasonic motor drive that delivers precise, silent, high-speed auto focusing.
It integrates six-zone exposure metering sensors with three autofocus points for ideal exposures in all kinds of lighting conditions. The autofocus system also detects whether the subject is stationary or moving, and automatically adjusts focusing so you can get great shots of sports events. This kit comes with a Canon 22-55mm EF lens; you can add any Canon EF lenses or Speedlites to expand your photographic capabilities.
Buyer Reviews : I started 'shooting' for fun and profit three years ago with a fully manual 35mm camera that I'd purchased at a used camera shop just prior to a business/pleasure trip to NYC. Though I enjoyed the creativity and quality of pictures I was able to produce with my minolta, over time it became cumbersome to lug the fully-loaded camera case with heavy lenses. Being fully manual, it was also difficult to get spontaneous or action shots. After a disasterous attempt to photograph elephant seals on a windy beach, I decided to look into a lighter, easier camera that still offered top-quality lenses and APS film benefits. My Canon EOS IX Lite definately fits the bill when I'm traveling or photgraphing my kids. It's lightweight, fully functional and easy to use. I'd like to add a lens, and it probably needs the optional flash attachment. The built in flash is fine for snapshots. I gave the camera a four star rating because I'm accustomed to the quality of photographs I get with the old, manual 35mm. Even though the quality of photos from the EOS IX Lite hasn't been the same, I'm not unhappy with what I've seen so far.
