Canon Digital IXUS 750

Advantages: Stylish, Quick and easy
Disadvantages: none really

...stood out. This was the Canon Digital Ixus 750. Amazingly enough, it was the same camera my friend Peter used on our recent holiday to Zakopane, so obviously good news travels fast. Brief description of the Camera and Its features…… The Canon Ixus 750 is a lovely design, shiny silver exterior which houses precision optics and advanced features that deliver better higher quality pictures that opposed to any camera I have ever personally seen. It ...
...honestly. If Connected to a Canon SELPHY CP Series printer you can also print ID photos and movie stills, I haven't personally got this printer, but never the less it is another feature worth thinking about. The software included with my purchase of this camera to allow me to edit, organise and print my photos are Canon's ZoomBrowser EX, accessible for Windows 98 onwards, and ImageBrowser for Macintosh. Canon Image Gateway provides 100MB of web ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, sleek design, great pictures!
Disadvantages: Not cheap.

...Cosmetic Appearance The Canon Ixus 750 has a sleek metal casing available in both silver and champagne (slightly gold, and in my opinion the sexier of the two!) colours. The casing is very solid and will withstand a beating, though scratches do show quite easily. The curve on the left hand side is a trademark of the "Canon style". The shutter and zoom buttons are conveniently located on the top right of the camera which in my opinion ...
...Ixus 400, 430 and 500). Canon had a winning design and has stuck with it, which makes the camera not only up-to-date, but a tried and tested formula. The glass elements give superbly sharp results. It's not all about megapixels as some people would have you believe. You could have a 20 megapixel camera with a rubbish lens and get poor photos, or a 2 megapixel with a great lens and have shockingly good results (don't be fooled by the 'Leica' and 'Carl ...

Advantages: High resolution; 3x optical zoom; fast, reliable operation
Disadvantages: some blurring in low light conditions

...for composing and reviewing photos, canon has squeezed in a small optical viewfinder above it to give the option of conserving the life of the lithium ion battery. in truth, this probably woudlnt be needed, with a single battery charge lasting a week of periodic use. included in the box is a 32mb sd memory card that will store 12 full quality shots, so budget for additional memory too. as for the photos themselves, in our test they displayed plenty ...
...rendition of colours, skin tones in particular. however the occasional shot suffered from camera shake, image blur when shooting in low light conditions without flash. this was partly down to the smooth surface of the camera making it difficult to hold rock steady during the slower shutter speed needed to capture sufficient light under such conditions. opt for flash and theres no problem. although the 7 megapixel IXUS 750 is dearer than some 8 ...

Advantages: Ease of use. Size. Lightweight.
Disadvantages: For beginners. 32MB card.

Before you buy this camera, consider that you will have to account for the cost of a bigger SD card in your budget, the supplied 32MB lacking severely in capacity. In the highest resolution (3072 x 2304 pixels) and quality (Superfine mode - utilisting all 7.1 megapixels - which is a lot), a photo averages at about 2.5 MB in size when saved in the JPEG format. The camera is strong ergonomically and its large 2.5" LCD screen allows easy reviewing ...
...the screen is that its actual quality isn't that great, it can be hard to spot if your image is out of focus without connecting the camera to the PC. There are many ways to take a picture - 15 different presets I believe - which may seem confusing to the complete novice, however the camera is perfectly suited to a 'point and shoot' minded individual. Equally, the novice would find it easy to change these presets, and it is this ease of use that ... Read review

Advantages: 3.0" Screen, Picture quality, ISO1600 mode, price, design
Disadvantages: Small memory card, no grip

...another great feature of this Canon ixus 750 camera. Disadvantages: The tiny memory card that is included with the camera. I was very dissapointed to find only a 32mb SD card when a picture on this 7.1 megapixal camera at the best quality is over 3mb! A bigger card is therefore a must if you want to make some decent pictures. So far, I haven't found any other dissadvantages worth mentioning. one very small disadvantage is the fact that there is ...
...of hour hands. But I think anyone who has just spent 200+ on a camera will ensure this never happens :-). If you use the wrist strap this shouldn't be a big problem Overall I believe this is one of the best camera's in this segment. The camera has pleasantly surprised me in almost every aspect and a part from a few small disadvantages I believe it is worth every penny (or dollar :-) ... Read review
