I brought the Ixus for my wife as an xmas present last year and she was taken with it straight away. "It's gorgeous" she said and I went on to describe all the features to her. I had to agree it is very good looking and had all the latest APS features on the market. We spent a very happy Xmas snapping away and even decided to use the Ixus in London on Millenium Eve. We took lots of great pictures of us all in London with the date and time stamped on each photo to show where we were. It was a joy to carry as it was so small and the different picture formats meant that we could take panoramic shots of the Thames. The love affair ended on January the 5th however upon receipt of the five rolls of film that we had taken. EVERY picture was out of focus. We never found out what the problem was as the retailer offered us an exchange which we declined but accept nan offer of a discount on an IXUS 2 which has functioned well since. You can see my full review on the IXUS 2 in CIAO. I have now learnt my lesson and will never use an important event as a test run for a new camera. I advise others to check their Ixus's carefully as this may not be a one off accurance.
