There’s a continual battle among camera makers to build the thinnest model in a particular class. Today’s champion is the Canon Ixus 1100 HS which the company claims is the slimmest 12x zoom compact to grace the shelves. Its predecessor, the Canon Ixus 1000 HS was already impressively slight at 24mm thick, but the Canon Ixus 1100 HS has slimmed its thickness down to a waif-like 21.99mm.
But, of course, we expect more from our compacts that the ability to slip unnoticed into a rucksack. Read on for the rest of the Canon Ixus 1100HS specs to see whether they match up to those slimline looks…
