Canon Digital IXUS 960 IS

Advantages: Image quality; features features features; titanium body; fast startup time
Disadvantages: 3.7 Optical Zoom is lacking; Competition cameras can shoot more FPS

...and have vowed to buy Canon IXUS Camera's next time around - even viewing the image at 100% the images are sharp and clear of noise all the way up to ISO 400 (ISO 800 and above show noise) The video capabilities also impress me although there is nothing that seperates Canon from the comptition in this category - you can shoot video at 1024X768 at 15fps or 640X480 at 30fps along with some other lower resolution options The camera also has some very ...
...3.7X Optical zoom is a little lacking - especially compared to the offerings from the Panasonic Lumix range - consider waiting for the Canon IXUS 970 IS due in March Competing cameras can shoot faster - i.e more pictures in same elapsed time than the canon IXUS series ... Read review

...me.... This model of Canon IXUS 960IS is new to the digital IXUS range of compact cameras.Its 12MP with 2.5 Inch wide LCD screen camera to be talking in most general sense. It uses the DIGIC III procesor for faster and better performance and image processing. Some of the specifications can be listed as :  18 Scene Modes + some for experts as in manual ( i am not a photgrapher so couldn't explore them)  My Colours Mode  Special ...
...The camera has a perpetual curve design, this means eat easily rests on your hand and slips off easily in your pocket. The On/Off button is on the top of the Camera. A 32 MB SD Card is included with the camera which is not enough for a 12MP camera. The main problem while capturing a image or shooting a video from a Digital camera is off the end-time shaking which makes the picture blurred. This Camera has an Anti-Shake system in form of an Optical ... Read review

Advantages: Image quality, face recognition, viewfinder, ease of use.
Disadvantages: 3.7 zoom, user guide.

...I bought the Canon Ixus 960 IS as a solution to taking a digital SLR, plus lenses etc. due to hand luggage restrictions as it easily fits in a pocket. The image quality is pin sharp, focussing exceptional and since I have problems with camera shake due to arthritis I was overjoyed to find that the image-stabiliser technology works really well, except in the very darkest of night shots (taken on the cruise ship's deck). Facial recognition works surprisingly ...
...The 3.7x zoom is the only real drawback, but it's a small enough niggle. In use I found it easy to swap between the different shooting modes, using the scene mode for most of my pictures. The 'aquarium' mode was especially useful for photographing fish fighting over bits of bread thrown to them by a restaurant owner in Elounda and the 'night scene' mode produced some excellent quality pics of my husband, sat across from me, at an outdoor restaurant. ...

Advantages: Perfect for Holidays or just general use at home
Disadvantages: Price can be a bit steep

...and ended up buying the Canon IXUS 960IS and thus far am impressed! The body work is made of Titanium which is a big plus if you tend to chip or break your camera and the 2.5 inch screen is just right, not too big that it drains the battery and not too small so you cant see it. There are many options on this little camera, including Optical Image Stabilizer (anti-shake) face detection red eye correction 18 Shooting Modes I've managed to try the ...
...pictures have come out a treat, and now enjoying looking back at my memories. One extra feature that this camera has which swayed me to buying it, was the view finder. Many Digital camera's today do not have the view finder as the screen on the back is enough, but in sunny conditions the screen is sometimes hard to see, and you need a viewfinder to take the picture. This is a big plus in my opinion! All in all im am glad i bought the 960, and would ... Read review
