 Beautiful little camera February 3, 2008
29 out of 29 found this review helpful
I bought this camera for my wife after doing some semi-extensive research into the best products of this type on the market in this price-range. I was not dissappointed - it's a beautiful little camera with stylish (and more importantly sturdy) metal casing. Moreover, i've been blown away by the quality of the pictures. I own a digi-SLR myself and was expecting the pictures from a camera of this price to be comparatively shoddy. I was mistaken - the picture quality is markedly superior to that of other point-and-shoot digis that friends of mine own. The automatic function for taking pictures is great, but there are options for more manual settings should you wish to have greater control over the camera in specific conditions. The re-chargeable battery lasts a long time, which is obviously preferable to AA-battery operated alternatives on the market.
One drawback, common to most digital cameras in this price range, is that you have to count on buying a larger memory card than the one included in the box. It comes with a laughable 32 MB card which will fit about four pictures on the high setting - but before you look elsewhere you should know that this is common practise. Thus, you will need to invest in a 1GB card if you want to go on holiday and not have to worry about image storage. Also worth noting is that you ought to buy a leather camera pouch to protect it, as there is no such item included with this product. Enjoy.
 As good as it gets at the moments? January 24, 2008

Bought new to replace my IXUS 40, killed by dust. This is my third IXUS camera. Not quite as fast as the IXUS 40 though like all the IXUS cameras I have tried, using a single center focal point and turning off the screen helps increase camera speed. The buttons are a bit too recessed, a bit too stylish! Great clear screen though and the optical viewfinder is a must for the continuous shooting mode and for preserving battery life. Photo quality is better than the IXUS 40 with much less purple fringing and sharper corners.
From my brief research I don't think the IXUS range can be beaten for general purpose everyday use but a waterproof and dustproof body would certainly be a real selling point for me. I hope it lasts longer than the 9 months my IXUS 40 managed.

I have several Canon Digital and non digital SLR's. In March I was attracted to buying a non SLR for ease of carrying and with the intention of having it with me at all times. I was surprised by the image quality and ease of use. It is very easy to turn the flash on and off which can be a great help. Unfortunately my wife spotted it and now I hardly get a look in. She loves it and takes great pictures with it. The viewfinder is handy but we've never needed it as the screen seems visible in sunshine and the battery lasts at least for a day's shooting.
I am so pleased with it and as value for money it beats every other camera I've ever owned and there have been a few.
The flash has a limited range (about 6 feet) so beware of that.
Thoroughly recommended as a main camera, an everyday camera or as a back up to more expensive kit.
A Gem! January 2, 2008

I'm travelling Europe for 3/4 months and want to have plenty of photos to remember it by. I therefore spent a month researching as many cameras as possible to make sure I got the right one. This is the camera I decided upon and I'm glad I did.
Pros:
- The camera is small and sturdy, being made of metal. If you drop it you're more likely to damage the ground than the camera.
- The interface is easy to use; I was able to pick it up and use it without reading the manuals.
- There is a viewfinder. You can switch off the LCD screen and use the view finder to save power.
- Plenty of shooting modes including a great macro mode.
- The movies are great quality and the sound is crisp and clean.
- The camera is responsive and has a nice shutter speed to make up for the lack of anti-blur.
- The zoom feature is easy to use, and being optical the pictures don't end up grainy.
Cons:
- Lack of anti blur.
- Face detect doesn't work all the time, but it's not too big a deal.
- The included memory card is only 32mb so you'll need to buy a new one.
I'd like to note that I bought this camera without realising that the battery was li-ion. I was worried about how I might charge it in Europe but to my delight I discovered that the charger comes with a European plug as well. With the Amazon price being 80/90 cheaper than it is in the shops I think that you owe it to yourself to buy one.

I ordered this camera with a 2GB SD card with Christmas money, it came today and I have had a play around to familiarise myself with all of it's features. It is easy to use, takes fantastic pictures, compact and the features are great. The image stabilizer is great so you don't have to worry about a child or a pet suddenly moving just as you take the picture and the colour accent feature is very nice.
