The Canon IXY 650 HS is a pocket compact built around a 20.2MP 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4+ processor. Its main draw is a 12x optical zoom covering 25-300mm, far more reach than most phones or fixed-lens compacts, plus Intelligent IS to steady handheld shots at the long end. It records Full HD 1080p at 30 fps, has a 3.0-inch 461k-dot LCD, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC, and shoots up to 7.2 fps. It suits travelers and casual shooters who want zoom and a real optical viewfinder-free camera in a small body, though the small sensor and modest LCD limit it against larger-sensor rivals.
