The Canon Ixus 700 has an equivalent focal length of 37mm to 111mm.

It is all to do with the very small sensor in the Ixus compared to your DSLR sensor size.

The crop factor for the Ixus is 4.8 were as the Nikon will be 1.5. You multiply the the real lens focal length by the crop factor to get the equivalent 35mm camera focal lenght.
