Canon Ixy IXUS Digital PC1060

In 2003, Canon proved that a digital camera could be shrunk down to the size of a piece of jewelry. The IXY Digital L — known internationally as the Digital IXUS i and in North America as the PowerShot SD10, body code PC1060 — packed a 4-megapixel CCD sensor, a bright f/2.8 fixed lens, and a 1.5-inch screen into an all-metal shell. Small enough to fit in your palm, almost matchbox-sized, this camera is one of the purest, most collectible representatives of the Y2K digital aesthetic. A compact icon that slips into a pocket and sits on a table like a design object.

✨ Why This Camera

The PC1060 offers a unique combination in the ultra-compact class: a 4 MP CCD, a bright f/2.8 fixed lens, an all-metal body, and a miniature size that fits in your pocket.

• 🔍 4 MP CCD sensor (1/2.5"), 2272 x 1704 resolution
• 🎯 6.4mm fixed lens (39mm 35mm equivalent)
• 🔎 Bright f/2.8 aperture
• 📱 1.5-inch LCD screen
• 🎬 320 x 240 video recording (approx. 15 fps)
• 🌈 ISO 50–400
• 🔎 Macro mode focusing as close as 3cm
• 💾 SD card support
• 🔋 NB-3L rechargeable battery
• 🪙 All-metal ultra-compact body

The fixed 39mm-equivalent lens gives a natural, comfortable framing for everyday photography; the lack of optical zoom keeps the camera simple and turns it into a pocket-sized block. In macro mode it can focus as close as 3cm, offering a fun bit of flexibility for small objects and detail shots. The f/2.8 aperture, bright for its class, helps out indoors and in low light.

The choice of a CCD sensor is the main factor behind this camera's color character. Unlike modern CMOS sensors, it produces more saturated, more "filmic" colors; that familiar Y2K look that appears with the flash is this camera's signature. The 320 x 240 video recording is a nostalgic bonus for anyone who wants to carry the authentic digital aesthetic of the era into moving images too.

👀 Who It's For, Where to Use It

A natural choice for anyone who wants to bring the Y2K aesthetic into both their content and their collection, for lovers of minimal, metallic design, and for anyone looking for a pocket-sized everyday camera. The miniature metal body turns the camera itself into a design object.

It delivers characterful shots for café outings, festival and concert moments, nights out, birthday parties, travel, and street photography. Thanks to its ultra-compact size, it fits comfortably into even the smallest bag, or right into your pocket.

🔥 The RetroCameraLand Take

The real strength of the PC1060 is how it packs a serious presence into a miniature body. While most cameras grow in the name of "usability," Canon chose to highlight metal craftsmanship and pocket-friendly size in this model. A decision that elevates the camera from a mere tech gadget to an accessory.

The 4 MP CCD sensor, bright f/2.8 fixed lens, and all-metal body come together into a delightful package in the ultra-compact category. The 1/2.5-inch sensor may seem small by modern standards, but it's exactly this CCD–small sensor combination that naturally produces the "vintage digital" look that's so sought after today. The color character and that familiar Y2K look that comes with the flash are this model's signature — just as fun to use as it is to add to a collection.
