The Canon IXUS 285 HS is known as the Canon PowerShot ELPH 360 HS in the US, and is the top of the range point and shoot model in the IXUS line-up, with the IXUS 190 and 185 also available.

• A wide-angle 12x optical zoom lens can be found on the front that is the equivalent of 25-300mm in 35mm terms, with built in optical image stabilisation for steadier shots when shooting handheld or when using the optical zoom. The ISO range goes up to ISO3200 for improved low-light photography. Macro photos can be taken with the subject just 1cm away from the lens.
