Although one cannot fault the camera in any way itself I would like to make it clear to others that it seems as though Canon are departing from their old bomb proof build quality and are now using predominantly plastic bodies, at least with this model, and the ixus 95 in part.

It has taken a bit of time to get used to all the settings. Still playing around with the manual controls – not had much success with those yet. Have taken some great macro shots and its nice to have a pocket size camera to take everywhere. Am pleased with style, comfortable to handle and am now getting some fab shots. A perfect substitute for when I can’t carry my digital SLR camera. My only gripe is no sport setting which makes it difficult to take shots whilst on the move -a fave occupation of mine to stop me getting bored while travelling. All in all though a brilliant little camera – For me, worth the extra cost.

For all intents and purposes, this is a very plain looking camera, but it has some astounding qualities: the size is fabulous, fits neatly into a small inobtrusive pouch on your hip, no fussy controls and those there are, are extremely easy to use. The picture quality is absolutley brilliant giving crystal clear photos with stunning colour matching on the large rear lcd screen. It has easy to use software which makes it very quick to download your holiday pictures to the pc… It is worth the very good price and for a first camera or for the more aspiring photographer would make an excellent purchase.

This is really an amazing pocket camera. We didn’t go for the latest Ixus 990 as it only apparently takes HD movies, and we don’t have an HD TV so didn’t see the point. The flash recharges very quickly. The focus is very quick so you can press the button at very short notice and get a great picture. The metal case looks robust enough, though not really able to fathom out why Canon dropped the titanium feature, as was a good selling point of the IXUS 900.
Another reviewer somewhere made a valid point that Canon, the brains behind this great camera, seem apparently oblivious that the memory card they provide is really pointlessly too small, so best to buy a big one at the same time as you get this camera, as you’ll be taking loads of pictures.

This camera was a replacement from a Sony. The design, brand and quality beat sony camera’s anytime. The 14mp camera produces excellent quality prints and easy to use, it’s colours come to life on print. The price is very reasonable too.
