Advantages: ease of use, compact size, great features
Disadvantages: a bit pricey at launch

Having been really disappointed with the previous digital camera I had (Fuji s5000), I was somewhat reluctant to go an buy another. However, when I bought this little beauty, I am glad I did. The price was a little on the high side at the time, and the 5 MP would be fairly low end compared to some of the 10MP out there right now, but this camera does the job for me. Ultra compact, easy to use, and an internal re-chargable battery that seems to ...
...adore my Ixus. While the above factors are good to consider, we all need to focus (pardon the pun) on what a camera does, and what we need it to do. Take photographs! This Ixus does the basics of taking a photograph very well indeed. Enhancements such as red eye elimination and the anti shake function compliment the fantastic lens in the unit. I have always been impressed by every photograph I take with the camera, and even after one year of ownership, ... Read review

Advantages: Great Screen, Easy to Use
Disadvantages: No Viewfinder

...instead of behind it. Samsung are a name that I have known for a long time but it did not easily drop into photography in my mind. What I can say is that the quality they show in other areas is mirrored in this product. It really is a good piece of kit. Main Features: 4 Mega pixel - This is more than enough for people who 'snap'. Any more than this and you are getting into the pro's world. The pictures come out well and there is no visable pixellation. ...
...see what you are shooting at. Zoom: Both Optical and Digital. Be sensible though. It is not an SLR so don't go thinking you'll be able to zoom for miles. Comp link - Plug into a usb port and any PC with XP will see that it is a storage device and you don't even need to install the software if you don't want to! Bad points : Battery life - Not brilliant. You can get rechargeable ones but that obviously increases the cost. Linked to batteries is ... Read review

Advantages: Great software and is simple to use but still gets good quality pictures
Disadvantages: Few mega-pixels and a small screen

I have had this camera now for two years and so far it hasn't let me down once. Although in comparison to the newer cameras out on the market it is fairly large and heavy, with a smaller screen and less mega-pixels, I've found it to be really good to use. For me the size is just right as anything too small, I lose! The picture quality is is really good and you can take videos with clear sound. It comes in lots of different colours, which is always ...
...I use with it, is really good. It's simple and easy to understand, and lays out your photo in a way which means they are easy to organise. I have found that it gets through batteries seriously fast, but that is probably just because I still haven't bought any decent camera batteries yet. Overall I think it's a great camera for the money, easy to use and good quality, with a wide range of features. ... Read review

Advantages: Zoom Lens High Quality
Disadvantages: Battery life with standard AA Batteries

I really liked the camera Im so peed i sold it!!!! Nice size light and nice to carry round Excellent pictures and quality. Flash was good with many features on it. Didnt like the battery life with it as it soon went with AA Batterys so make sure you have rechargable batterys. Easy file download on the computers and prints excellent photos Mine came with a carry case (leather) and a memory card. I paid over £150.00 from a club book but have ...
...books and credit. Zoom lends which means you can get nice and close to things i used to take some lovely pictures of my dog Very easy easy to us and not complicated. High resolution with the 5mp Nice clear LCD Screen Rating 4 out of 5 because of battery life. ... Read review

Advantages: Reasonable cheap, very easy to use and very good quality photos.
Disadvantages: Bulky, ugly and comes with very few accessories(case etc).

This is my second digital camera, believe it or not my first was chewed up by the dog!! This is the replacement I received from our insurance. I have to admit that when I first opened the box I was very disappointed at the ugly and bulky little camera I was given (shallow I know!), but after having used it for about 2 weeks now I have to say that I can't complain about anything as yet. First of all the camera is very easy to use, after having taken ...
...need to even open the manual! But of course the most important aspect of any digital camera is the quality of the photos, and this is where the camera excels. I would recommend this camera especially for those who have never owned/uses a digital camera before, it has a good range of features which are easy to use. The picture quality is excellent and the camera on it's own is reasonably priced, but be warned this does not include a case or battery ... Read review
