Canon IXUS 90 IS, IXUS 85 IS and IXUS 970 IS announced

Canon have announced 3 new additions to their Digital IXUS compact camera range. All models include optical image stabilisation and are based on an enhanced DiGIC III image processor, which includes Motion and Face Detection Technology. In-camera red-eye correction means red-eye can be removed automatically during shooting. Improved Face Detection with White Balance (WB) ensures skin tones retain a more natural appearance in a range of lighting conditions.
