About the Canon IXY DIGITAL 830 IS
The Canon IXY DIGITAL 830 IS, released in April 2009, is a CCD compact with a 1/2.3-inch sensor of about 12 megapixels. Its lens covers 37-185 mm in 35mm terms, roughly a 5x optical zoom, with a maximum aperture of F3.2. Image stabilization is part of the IXY DIGITAL 830 IS, as the name indicates.
The body measures 94.8 x 56.8 x 26.3 mm and weighs about 160 g. A 3.0-inch TFT monitor with 100% field of view displays the image clearly for framing and checking focus. Recording goes to SD or SDHC cards, and power comes from an NB-5L lithium-ion battery, with the ACK-DC30 AC adapter kit as an accessory. Its 37 mm starting angle is on the narrow side, which suits portraits and general snapshots better than architecture. IXY DIGITAL is the name used in Japan.
Buying one used
The camera uses an NB-5L lithium-ion battery; check that it still holds a charge. Test the lens and stabilization, inspect the 3.0-inch monitor, and confirm that an SD or SDHC card records and plays back correctly.
