The official marketing text of Canon Digital IXUS 310 HS 1/2.3" Compact camera 12.1 MP CMOS 4000 x 3000 pixels Silver as supplied by the manufacturer

The IXUS 310 HS boasts a large, intuitive touchscreen, with high-speed functions and Full HD movies. A bright f/2.0, 24mm ultra wide lens, and the HS System capture incredible shots, day or night.

HS System (12.1 MP)
HS System excels in low light allowing you to capture the real atmosphere of the moment without flash or tripod. A high performance DIGIC4 processor and high sensitivity sensor give superior image quality in all situations.

f/2.0, 24mm, 4.4x zoom. Optical IS
A bright f/2.0 lens captures low-light images and fast-moving subjects at higher shutter speeds brilliantly. A 24mm ultra-wide coverage lets you put more in the frame, while Canon’s advanced optical IS reduces blur caused by camera shake.

Stainless steel body
A slim metal body gives the camera a quality feel and makes it a pleasure to use whilst retaining the stylish look that embodies IXUS.

8.0 cm (3.2") PureColor II Touch LCD
The PureColor II Touch LCD has outstanding contrast, resolution and colour rendition. An advanced touch screen interface lets you customize the screen to match your shooting style and makes using the camera quick and fun.

Full HD with optical zoom. Dynamic IS
High quality movies can now be recorded in Full HD (1080p) format. Two additions to greater video quality are crystal clear stereo sound and Dynamic IS, which stabilises movies against wobble and shake.

Smart Auto
Smart Auto is truly automatic, allowing the camera to detect from 32 different scenes. You can take great pictures in confidence, knowing the camera will take care of everything.

High-speed Burst & Super Slow Motion Movie
Capture photos of fast-paced action with up to 8.2 shots/second using High-speed Burst mode or slow down movement up to 1/8th of the real speed using Super Slow Motion Movie mode.

Movie Digest
Movie Digest captures up to 4-seconds of the action before a shot is taken, joining all the clips together from the same day into a single VGA movie to add to your collection of photos.

iFrame movie
The iFrame video format is a simple way to quickly import, edit and share your video.

Creative shooting modes & manual control
Creative shooting modes give you the opportunity to experiment. Fish-eye Effect re-creates the distortion of a fish-eye lens while Miniature Effect transforms landscapes into miniature scale models. For the look and feel of a picture taken with an older style camera try Toy Camera Effect.

Bad Pricey. Occasionally laggy zoom performance.
Bottom line I was very impressed with the quality of the video shot by the 500 HS. The camera can record in high-definition 1080p at 24 frames per second, or 720p at 30 frames per second. I always recommend shooting in 720p, because 24 frames per second can lead t...

As my 100th match fizzled out without taking light, in my desperate attempts to light a romantic fire, I couldn’t help taking another look over the pile of broken, unlit, unburnt, useless pile of ‘no name’ brand matches. It’s always been difficult f...
Bottom line What you sacrifice in high levels of zoom with the IXUS 310 you gain considerably more in image and lens quality. There tends to be a notion for developers to pack in features and increase numbers just to make the camera appeal to a wider market, how...
