#RECtheWorld with Canon’s new waterproof, shockproof and lightweight camera
BRAMPTON, ON., OCTOBER 10, 2019 – Your activity of choice should not limit you on your quest to #RECtheWorld – from jumping on a trampoline, biking down a mountainside, screaming on a roller coaster or feeling the beat at a music festival. Down for just about anything, Canon Canada, a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to announce the IVY REC Clippable Outdoor Camera.
Made to go anywhere while capturing those larger-than-life moments – this new camera is made for adventure, giving users of all ages the ability to capture photos or videos in an instant with just one click. Great for the outdoors, the clippable and wearable design allows users to wear it on a belt or bag and the clip doubles as a viewfinder – eliminating the potential to crack a screen. Easily capture photos and video with the IVY REC then pair it with the handy Canon Mini Cam app[i].
When paired with a compatible mobile device[ii] such as a smartphone, you can keep informed about important settings including battery life of the IVY REC camera, remaining image capacity for the MicroSD card, video recording resolution (720p or 1080p) [iii] and image size. You can also use the app as a live viewfinder to capture photos and videos, and even use it as a remote shutter with a timer. For photos and videos, the app lets you wirelessly transfer them to your compatible mobile device to print and share. The go-anywhere camera is also waterproof[iv], shockproof[v] and lightweight.
The Canon IVY REC comes in three colors: Riptide (Blue), Avocado (Green) and Dragon Fruit (Pink) and is scheduled to ship late October 2019 at an estimated retail price of $149.99* CAD. For more information, please visit canon.ca/ivy .
