Wifi leads the new fashion Canon IXUS 5 10 HS evaluation.

IT 168 Evaluation After the digital imaging industry entered 20 12, it encountered many challenges in owning high-quality smart phones, especially the instant sharing function of mobile phones made digital cameras very embarrassed. However, it was also in 20 12 that portable digital cameras began to popularize WiFi, so that instant sharing was no longer the patent of mobile phones. Canon IXUS 5 10 HS not only has a replica IXUS shape, but also is equipped with wireless transmission function, which is a typical representative of Canon portable camera with WiFi function.

Canon IXUS 5 10 HS is equipped with a brand-new DIGIC 5 image processor and a high-sensitivity CMOS sensor. The effective pixel is about 1065438+ million. The compact body is equipped with 12 times optical variable lens, and the wide-angle end reaches 28mm, which makes IXUS 5 10 HS easily cope with scenery and indoor shooting.

But when it comes to Canon IXUS series, I believe everyone will always think of fashion and trendy. As the latest camera technology, WiFi sharing is really suitable for IXUS. However, for IXUS 5 10 HS, this fashion route is unusual, mainly because? Retro? Appearance.

appearance design

The appearance characteristics of Canon IXUS 5 10 HS are far from the current IXUS series. The machine adopts retro design and has a square body, which no longer has the sense of streamline and fashion common in IXUS at present. The front piano paint material style is very in line with this retro feeling. From the front, only the built-in flash and? Canon IXUS? The product logo is more prominent and the overall feeling is very simple.

On the top of Canon IXUS 5 10 HS fuselage, all the buttons on the fuselage are concentrated, among which the shutter button and zoom lever are always placed in IXUS series, and the right index finger can be triggered at the touch of a button. There is a playback key and a camera switch next to the shutter key. In addition, there is no other key design, which is extremely simple.

In order to meet the operational requirements, the IXUS 5 10 HS has a full touch screen design on the back, with a resolution of 46. 1 10,000 pixels and a resolution of 3.2 inches 16:9. The operation mode of touch screen conforms to the current digital trend and is one of the development directions of portable digital cameras in the future.

The biggest selling point of Canon IXUS 5/KOOC-0/0HS is its retro style, but I think IXUS 5/KOOC-0/00 is not retro compared with Fuji X/KOOC-0/00 and Nikon P3/KOOC-0/0. The biggest retro design of this machine is very similar to the first generation camera of Canon IXUS released by digital IXUS in 2000. In this way, the appearance style of IXUS 5 10 HS should be regarded as a replica.

Battery and ink cartridge

Canon IXUS 5 10 HS is small in overall shape, so in order to adapt to its small shape, Canon IXUS 5 10 HS adopts a small rechargeable lithium-ion NB-9L battery with a capacity of 870 mA. IXUS 5 10 HS has poor endurance because of its small battery capacity. If users travel, it is best to equip them with a spare battery.

In addition, it should be noted that the storage memory of Canon IXUS 5 10 HS uses a microSD memory card, which is not equipped in the package when purchasing the camera, and users need to equip it separately.

Canon IXUS 5 10 HS WiFi function test;

In addition to the retro appearance, the biggest highlight of IXUS 5 10 HS is its WiFi function. Canon IXUS 5 10 HS can transfer wonderful photos or short films to smart phones, tablets or computers through this function. It is very convenient to share it with friends or send it to Weibo through these devices.

However, I believe that many users also have concerns, that is, whether Canon's WiFi sharing function is good or not. In this regard, the author used an iPad2 to test with IXUS 5 10 HS, and the final result was very satisfactory. Let's see how to use this function.

Step 1: Connect the device.

First, operate iPad2 to download Canon WiFi sharing application.

Download Canon Free App in App Store first? Canon CameraWindow?

Then operate the camera to turn on * * * to enjoy the function.

▲ Click the button at the top left of the screen to turn on the Wifi function.

▲ After startup, you can share four different environments.

▲ set IXUS 5 10 HS as a hot spot.

▲ Connect the equipment with IXUS 5 10 HS.

Then you can connect the camera with the iPad2.

▲ Select the WiFi hotspot of DC on the device.

▲ The device is successfully connected to display the screen.

Step 2: Image transmission

After the connection is successful, we can transfer the image to the mobile device step by step according to the prompts on the camera. The specific method is as follows:

▲ Connection success screen

▲ Click Send to display the picture.

▲ Click to send batch/selected pictures.

▲ The size of the transmitted image can be adjusted.

▲ Send flow chart

When IXUS 5 10 HS is connected to the device, IXUS 5 10 HS display can send the current image to the settings, and at the same time, all the images in the camera memory card can be sent in batches/selectively, and the size of the sent image can be adjusted. Dimensions * * * include M2, s and Cancel (M2 is about 2M, 1600? 1200, s size is about 0.3M 640? 480), canceling the gear is to send the original image, so the sending process will be relatively slower than the first two gears. Through the actual test, the author thinks that it takes about 1 second to transmit an image, and the power will drop by one grid when transmitting about 40 images. It seems that the transmission speed is not slow, but it consumes a lot of power.

Step 3: Equipment Mode

▲ Two modes

There are also two modes for the device to display images. One mode is? Waiting to receive? Mode, which one is it? Check the camera? Mode, which has been demonstrated before waiting for receiving mode, refers to browsing the pictures in IXUS 5 10 HS memory card on the device. What time is it open? Check the camera? After the mode ends, all images of IXUS 5 10 HS will be displayed on the device.

▲? Check the camera? model

The WiFi function of Canon IXUS 5 10 HS is generally convenient, with the advantage that you can directly connect devices to share the photos taken. In addition to sharing images to mobile devices, IXUS 5 10 HS can also wirelessly send images from the camera to the computer through the software attached to the camera, but it should be noted that this function does not support Windows 7 Starter (Simple Edition) and Home Basic (Home Basic Edition). Moreover, due to the high power consumption of the Wifi sharing function, the battery life of IXUS 5 10 HS is seriously damaged again. (Note: It is normal for the body to overheat after using the Wifi function for a long time. )
