This is a smart little APS camera (Advanced Photo System) this basically means that you can take different size photographs. The way it works is you have to change the size by sliding a switch to the desired size such as (P) Panoramic, (C) Classic or (H) H print which is in between. After you do this you can see the new size through the viewfinder. A useful tip is that the clever APS film allows for you to choose at the time of printing what size you would like your prints to be. For example if you have taken many different sized pictures you may want to print them the classic (6x4 inch) size which would be cheaper than panoramic prints. Also if you have taken a picture the classic size you can still print that picture panoramic and get extra details that you would not see if printed classic size. You can see it on your index card (The whole picture) so that you can see the extra image that is available at the other sizes. In general the camera is very easy to operate and fairly small. The build quality is very good and the pictures seem to be of good quality. You should also take into account the quality of film and where you choose your pictures to be developed.
Advantages: Beautifully packaged. Fine build quality.Good results Disadvantages: APS is an expensive format. Camera pricy.
...the proud owner of a Canon IXUS ever since launch - "Gadget Man" strikes again. Its tough no-nonsense stainless steel design gets many admiring glances from photographers and others with an eye for design. Forgetting the looks, and fag-packet dimensions, it's also a damned fine little camera, with its zoom lens and pop-up flash, with an anti-red-eye option.
Its optional remote control is wafer-thin so be sure not to put it in the back pocket of ... ...relatively expensive film type compared to 35mm, but at least the Canon's exposure system is capable of good results in a wide range of tricky light conditions, all without input from the user. The autofocus always seems spot-on so wasted shots are usually down to the user - they have yet to come up with a camera that can detect a cr** subject!!
Take this and a tiny Mini-DV camcorder on holiday, and you're ready for a full pictorial assault guaranteed ...

Advantages: Tiny, good quality picture, good build quality, sexiest camera around Disadvantages: No mid-roll change and pathetic attempt at red-eye reduction
...replace my SLR (a venerable Canon AE-1) but there are times when you don't want to lug a bigger camera around and the Ixus is really tiny.
Other gripes I have are common to all APS and compact cameras and not the Canon specifically. One is that the maximum aperture is very small so the camera wants to use flash in all but the brightest light, even with an ISO 400 film. The other is the horrendous cost of APS photography. Films are more expensive ... ...the camera, the difference in cost between a year or two's worth of APS prints and the same in 35mm would buy me a nice new 35mm compact and is something I'm seriously considering. Having used APS for a few years now, it just doesn't have enough benefits to justify the extra expense. ...

Advantages: Easy to use and reliable Disadvantages: None
The Cannon Ixus APS camera is without doubt the best camera I have ever used. I looks smart, is compact and easy to carry and makes taking pictures so simple my six year old can produce good results. Simply switch it on select the format select the lens point and press. The focussing is taken care of the flash is automatic and the results are stunning. It has red eye reduction, date and title options a timmer facility to take pictures of yourself ...

Advantages: Light, small, good quality underwater photo's Disadvantages: none
Surely I'm not the only person left in the world who thinks that film camera photo's are better quality than digital images? Am I?
Am I the only one who doesn't get orgasmic over the number of megapixels on a digital camera?
Now don't get me wrong, I do indeed own a digital camera myself and they have their advantages, but in terms of picture quality the good old 35mm film is much sharper in my opinion.
Anyway, why did I buy this camera? Well, I already own a CanonIxus AF and am very happy with it but as I often go on holiday to the beach I needed a camera that was not only waterproof but sandproof and indeed throw-about-proof.
So, I duly marched down to Jessops and picked up the CanonIXUS X-1 CompactCamera which they told me, was the smallest waterproof Camera in the world! How priveleged I felt!
Okay, lets start ...
Advantages: Best APS compact on market Disadvantages: It didn't work
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. ...
A wide variety of features, good picture quality, durable (millions of photographs without maintenance), Good Value, and Generally convenient in size and weight to take out with you
Poor Lens, Fragile, and generally a lot better products on the market (However, for nowhere near the same price value) (*)
