Canon Ixus 60 - excellent
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by embo1000

Advantages: small, good quality, useful software, simple to use
Disadvantages: shiny screen difficult to see in high sunlight, no battery life meter

...have the same or similar canon ixus cameras have found that the screen seems to either chip underneath somehow, and cause small white marks on it, or just roughly scratch all over it, causing it to lose the its 'pristine shine'! However, this shininess of the screen is also one of the camera's few bad points, as in conditions with a lot of light it becomes very difficult to see the screen. Normally the screen is very good though, and a plenty big ... Read review

A Snappy Little Snapper
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by Pittypomm

Advantages: Stylish, Easy to Use, Good Image Quality
Disadvantages: Price (look for a good deal), Not the latest model

...have since upgraded to a Canon 30D which we take on holiday and have taken some wonderful pictures. I give you this background simply so that you understand what I am using my Ixus 60 for. Not for taking artistic landscapes or perfect portraits - I use the big camera for that. I chose a small camera simply for portability. Why this one? Well as I have said, we already have a Canon SLR and we are very happy with it. I also know quite a few people ... Read review

Canon can !!
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by spike25

Advantages: Build quaility, easy to use, features
Disadvantages: price

I recently purchased the Canon IXUS 60. It is a six megapixel digital camera with a three times optical zoom lens. The camera is a ultra compact digital camera which fits in the pocket very well. The build quality of this camera is impressive and it is also one of the more expensive cameras compared to others in its category . There are one or two interesting features, but the camera remains very easy to use. This is why it appealed to me, it ... Read review

A good quality camera for all places.
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by nikolas_syrimis

Advantages: Very durable, good quality photos, outstanding.
Disadvantages: Colour changes provided are not amazing but OK.

...menu. One cool little feature Canon has introduced is Sound Memo, in which you can record a memo for a picture and view it later on camera or computer. You also have the ability to protect images so other people will not be able to view it without Canon Zoombrowser. You can also rotate the image if you've taken it at a weird angle and the auto-rotate feature has put it in a weird position. And finally, the good old Erase All. In the other sections ...

Quick review of Canon Digital IXUS 60
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by scr204

Bought for partner, have been very impressed with it. Very small, stylish, and have recommended it to many people already. Will be looking to pick up canon's replacement for it, when they release it.

Canon Ixus 60 as reviewed by a sales person
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by jamesofdeath

Advantages: Metal casing, styligh, 9 point focus system, easy to use
Disadvantages: could do with a bigger zoom and better low light shots

...had been speaking to a canon rep not long before this and had sold dozens of these cameras to customers so i thought it was a good solid camera to buy. I like the camera because of its metal casing, not many cameras have this but instead opt for a plastic casing which tends to warp in heat and crack when dropped. The huge 2.5inch LCD screen on the back is clear and made from a light absorbing material as to not get much of a glare from the sun when ... Read review

Canon Ixus 60
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by StevenTreadway

Advantages: Great little camera, good value, better than a Casio!
Disadvantages: Can't think of any!

Excellent Camera, great quality and portability. Takes great pictures easily with its controls easy to navigate. Its battery packs hold's a great charge and only takes about an hour to re-charge. Originally thought to purchase a Casio Exilim but glad i chose canon. The lens quality is supurb, and photo quality remains great even when moving. Digital zoom quality is good and the optical zoom is also very good. Its size is also a bonus as can easily ... Read review

A solid little camera
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by lumbala

Advantages: ease of use, compact, good quality images
Disadvantages: symbols rub off on some buttons

I bought my IXUS 60 in January 2007 (my IXUS V3 finally gave up the goat after 3 years of continuous use). I have always been a fan of the Ixus range and whilst the newer Ixus 800 and 900 models offered more features such as better focusing and face recognition, I rarely had a problem with my old Ixus with focusing so decided that these features were not necessary. I also felt that the 3 million megapixels I previously had was more than enough for ... Read review

the great IXUS lineage lives on
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by xxDanmanxx

Advantages: Great build, small and stylish, easy handling, good specification, optical viewfinder
Disadvantages: Flare on the screen in bright conditions, and limited manual control

A stainless steel body encases the IXUS 60, protecting it from damage, and giving it its stylish look. With a standard 2.5-inch colour screen that is both bright and crisp, and a neat little optical viewfinder making it easy to find those 'perfect pictures' and the superb quality from the 6 mega pixel camera produces pictures you would be proud to hang up. The layout of the camera has a nice feel to it as well, with a combined shutter release and ... Read review

LOVE THIS CAMERA
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by AJR100

Advantages: TINY - Really easy to Use, Great Picture Quality, HUGE screen
Disadvantages: No Image Stabilisation, Needs Special Battery from Canon

...it needs a special rechargable Canon battery (there is no battery low indicator so I suggest you buy a spare battery). Takes a standard SD Card - I got 1gb for a tenner online. Records video with sound and the quality is amazing. Buy it - I got mine for £150 well worth the money. Replaces my Canon Powersot A70 which feels like a housebrick in comparison, ... Read review

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by bmaurice

Advantages: Great quality, easy to use and excellent features
Disadvantages: rechargeable battery needs improvements

I recently bought the IXUS60 online based on the reviews I found on google website. I am not disappointed. For the amateur photographer , this is such an easy to use camera packed with features and pre-set modes for a variety of situations. It's movie mode support JPEG compression. It is compact which for some of you with big hands could prove fiddly to operate in terms of selecting non-default options via the menu navigation/select buttons. The manuals ... Read review

AMAZING!!!!! Look!
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by cooldude28

Advantages: Well worth the money! The picture quality is amazing!
Disadvantages: None

This camera is brilliant. The pictures are just great! Most cameras are good quality, you can pick up a 3 megapixel camera anywhere, but with over 7 megaixels, you cannot go wrong. It is over £100 to buy, but I guarentee you, you will not be dissapointed with your purchase. Easy to use, and kids find it fun to take pictures. Different types of pictures, including black and white, sepia, and more. You can upload them to the computer to save ... Read review

Super stylish
Review of Canon Digital IXUS 60 by bruno-bo

Advantages: Very stylish, hardwearing metal casing with large picture viewing screen
Disadvantages: Quite small and can be difficult to handle

I have recently bought this camera and i think it is excellent value for money compared to similar priced products. It has large screen to view your pictures which are excellent quality due to the number of pixels and you can take more than one picture and the camera will stitch them together which i found useful when taking landscape pictures.I found this camera very easy to use and fits in my bag easily. The protective metal casing also means the ... Read review
