Advantages: Looks Good, Impossibly Small, Great results Disadvantages: No viewfinder, Manual on Disk
...enough to win a gold Canon Ixus i zoom. (5 Mega Pixel)
The first thing you notice about this camera is the size, approx 9.5 cm long, 4.5 cm wide and 2 cm deep it is smaller than my mobile phone and easily slips into your pocket. The monitor is an ample 3.9 x 2.9 cm. Although looks have never been that important to me when choosing a camera I have got to admit it looks great. Of course you would expect any camera bearing the canon name to be a good ... ...would seem to be the case.
The only problem with such a small camera is that there is no room for a viewfinder. This would give added support when holding it to your eye and so cut down on camera shake as well as saving battery life as you could switch off the screen. This is however a small price to pay for the benefit of a camera that you can take anywhere.
The package includes a 16 MB SD card which is just about enough to find out if the camera ...

Advantages: Stylish design Disadvantages: Slow shutter lag
I'm in love with this camera- my husbands borrowed it for an airshow today and i feel like ive got a limb missing!
LOOKS
Very very stylish. About the same size as a mobile phone- in fact, mine has been mistaken for one a few times. Mine is purple but it comes in other colours too, including black and champagne.
IMAGE QUALITY
It is only a small camera yet it produces clear, crisp images.It is great for taking indoor pictures, useful if youve got ... ...but not often. The macro shots are very detailed- more than i expected. SHUTTER LAG
It will take a single shot in a around 1.8 seconds, which is quite slow. This is fine if you are taking a picture of something still, but trickier if you are trying to take a picture of something moving. Saying this, my children rarely stay still and i never seem to have problems getting a good picture of them.
EASE OF USE
It is very easy to use- all the different ...

Snap Snap! Review ofCanon Digital IXUS I Zoomby
CharleneC
Advantages: Sexy looking with brilliant quality pictures Disadvantages: Small screen, hard to see previews of pictures
A Christmas present certainly much appreciated, this camera is a must have gadget. It's light, slim and very attractive looking design, only 9.6 x 4.5 x 2.3cm in size certainly beats all camera's I've seen for looks especially the nice chrime finish and sleek black.
~*~Performance~*~
As far as performance goes, it is fast, easy to use with plenty of variation in quality type, mode etc. The camera is 5megapixels (which is very good for the price), ... ...would be its LCD screen is slightly small, at only 1.8" (due to the camera's small size itself) which is unavoidable, but none the less makes it hard to see clearly the pictures you have took.
It takes vary good quality, and large pictures, with a maximum resolution of 2592 x 1944, and it has a video capture mode, which has a resolution of 640x480. It has red eye reduction, which is useful for people but a word of warning, it does not work on dogs. ...

Advantages: takes excellent pics light weight and very easy to use Disadvantages: nothing
Canon ixus I zoom. I adore this camera so much a big fan of my sister's canon ixus I the 4.0 mega pixel version which also took excellent pictures. I wanted a very tiny camera that is light weight and easy to carry around. This is great to put in your handbag, as it is tiny as a mobile phone.
The I zoom is an upgrade of their ixus I, the 5.0 mega pixel camera that does not have zoom. This has 10 zoom, 2.5 optical and digital zoom altogether is 10x ... ...pixmania website; it comes with a docking station and a little remote control. If you connect the docking station to the TV you can view and use your remote to control the pictures displayed on your TV. This also came with a 16mb mmc card and a wrist strap. I had to buy my own leather case but that was easy to pick up from eBay.
First impression I was impressed it was much smaller then the pictures I have seen, of course I went to the shops where ...

Advantages: Design, Functionality, Usability, Adaptability, Connectivity, the lot. Disadvantages: Optical zoom could be greater.
The Canon IXUS iZoom has an inbuilt excellent 5 megapixal CCD that will allow the user to enlarge their images up to A3 size retaining crystal clear quality. The camera houses a 1.8-inch LCD display which is ideal for viewing back the photos you have just taken. The unit has a 2.4x zoom and a combined 10x optical/digital zoom
The camera has 16 scene modes that allow the user to refine the shots they have taken. The scene modes include sports, and ... ...as red eye reduction. It sports an insanely wide range of pre and post-capture options, allowing infinite levels of customisation and perfection of your images.
The camera is USB 2.0 compatible and comes with a very small 16mb SD card. I recommend you upgrade the card to at least 256mb to get the most out of your camera. I purchased a 2Gb card that can hold over 600 of the cameras very finest quality snaps. And we're talking pretty excellent quality. ...
