Canon Digital IXUS 75

...use. I already have a canon powershots3 IS and have been really pleased with it. However it's not always convenient to carry around as its quite big and bulky. Having read lots of reviews I decided I really liked the look of the canon Ixus 75. Apart from the glowing reviews I read I was attracted by the large LCD screen and the wealth of functions this camera has. Although it is basically a point and shot camera the Ixus 75 has a lot more to offer! ...
...charger, which is a bonus. Canon say you should be able to take about 210 shots before the battery will need to be recharged. I must have taken over a hundred shots and the battery is still fine. The camera is supplied with a 32 MB( enough for about 18 shots), SD card, which is more generous than some. I bought a 2GB card when I purchased the camera. I really think Canon could supply a larger SD card, as it would not add much to their costs! Also ... Read review

Advantages: Very Very easy to use
Disadvantages: High battery consumption

...simple "point and shoot" device, Canon have introduced a clever dial control. This little feature allows you to instantly access all the most useful features of the camera, without having to navigate your way through 50 million menu options. I will admit that I have yet to use the majority of the main advanced features of the camera. The idea of this review is to primarily convey how easy it is to use for even the hardest of "techno -phobics". Having ...
...for those who want to use them. There are only two criticisms I have of this camera. 1st is that it does seem to be a little heavy on battery usage, but then in does do a lot of work for you in terms of making sure you get the best quality shot. A good piece of advice would be to make sure you carry a spare battery supply. 2nd is that in general, the flash is more than adequate, but I have found that in particularly dark settings, the flash does ...

Advantages: Quality Shots, Build Quality, Ease of use.
Disadvantages: None.

The Canon Digital IXUS 75 is a 7.1 megapixel pocket sized digital camera, as soon as i recieved this camera i was very impressed with the build quality, it feels very solid to handle and looks like an expensive camera. The 3inch LCD screen is superb although there is no viewfinder this is not a problem for most people. Battery life is excellent, i have taken 200-250 shots on a 1hr charge. There is a fully automatic mode, good for people who want ...
...indeed and there are several manual options for more adventurous photographers out there, one very cool feature is the portrait mode which softens skin tones giving you nice portrait snaps, the camera has red eye correction so that you can fix red eye but only in playback mode, still a nice function though, overall i would say that this one of the best compact cameras on the market in this price bracket and you would be hard pushed to be disappointed, ...

Advantages: Easy to use, amazing auto foucs, great screen
Disadvantages: slightly more exprensive than other on market

The canon range are great and this is one of the best i have used for the price. The big screen is grreat and is really clear so don't worry about the sunlight onit. The auto focus makes it so much better than other camera like it. Also the canon sotware is amazing all you have to do is usb your camera into the computer and the press one button on the back and the computer will look at your camera and only upload pics that havn't been uploaded and ...

Advantages: Small/ light, great screen
Disadvantages: Sometimes slow to focus

I found this camera to be a great buy, though I don't think I've yet used it to its full potential. I bought the Ixus 75 mainly as a camera to take underwater - lightweight and simple to use, and with a housing available (which my previous compact did not have). One of the best features is the LCD screen - one of the largest available, at 3.0", still usable in bright sunlight and with good screen resolution. One hassle is the lack of optical viewfinder ...
...rarely use this underwater, but on land I like the option! The small size of the camera means there simply isn't room for a viewfinder as well, the screen takes up the entire height of the camera's back. And that's actually one of the great advantages of the camera - it really is tiny. It actually measures up as similar to my previous compact - but just seems that much more compact. There's a range of modes available - some of them rather bizarre, ... Read review
