Marie,

The "ixy" version is sold outside of the United States. The Canon SD950 is sold in the US. I hope this helps.

Gary,

These are the exact same camera. I can not speak to the instruction language. It would really depend on where the camera is marketed for. If you do wind up with instructions in Japanese, you can reference the two links above for instructions in English.

According to Japanese manufacturing philosophy the best is made for local Market. Between two of these I would go with IXY 2000.
