Canon Ixus 100 IS - Small and oh so stylish

Advantages: Small, Stylish, Auto modes work well, Image Stabilization
Disadvantages: HD Video capability is disappointing

...The Canon Ixus 100 IS is the successor to the Ixus 85 IS model, now with 12.1 megapixels instead of the old 10. The 2.5" screen is retained, as is the optical viewfinder and the 3x zoom capability, but the Ixus 100 IS is packed with new features. Video can now be recorded in HD (720p format) and an HDMI port has been added for viewing your pics on the latest HD televisions. The 100 IS also gets a new DIGIC 4 processor, Autofocus Tracking and Auto Scene Detection! The dimensions have changed in proportion, being a whole millimetre wider than its predecessor, another millimetre taller, but 2mm slimmer with an incredible depth of only 18.4mm. The weight stays about the same at less than 130g and, being similar in size to an iPod, it is very easy to carry around in your shirt pocket/handbag. Indeed, the similarity with the iPod doesn...

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS Digital Camera

Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS -nice little camera

Advantages: Nice little pocket camera with all the necessary features
Disadvantages: Can't really think of anything

...I am not an expert on digital cameras and this is just the second one I bought. So I cannot really compare the Ixus 80 with other cameras. Nevertheless, I really like it. Looks The Lxus 80 comes in Classic Silver, Caramel, Chocolate and Candy Pink in an aluminium body. It is small enough to fit in a pocket and can be tacken anywhere with no problems. As far as I can say it is very reliable and does brilliant pictures for a normal user. Features It works with 8 megapixels .The 3x zoom works for all the general snapshot moments. It comes with an Image Stabilization (IS moniker) to reduce camera shake. As far as I know this is not standard on all cameras yet, but becomes more normal in newer models. The lens is glass, so it?s definitely an advantage towards cameras with a plastic lens. You can certainly see that in the quality...

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 80 IS

Ixus 110 - a great point and shoot camera but nothing more.

Advantages: Range of features, quality of pictures in night time mode.
Disadvantages: Quality of pictures in cloudy weather and low light,

... The looks *This camera looks great. The curvy design makes it something you won't be embarrassed to carry around with you all the time, and it's the perfect size to keep in your admittedly relatively large pocket, but I'm sure it would fit just fine in most handbags. The layout *The Ixus 110 has a relatively minimalist layout which I like very much, but whether such a layout will suit you will definitely be down to personal taste. On the front you've got the flash, lense and autofocus LED, so nothing new there. On the top of the camera there's the shutter relase, shooting mode slider where you select the gallery, photo or video mode, and the on off button. The back of the camera on the other hand sports a much less traditional design, containing the high quality LCD screen and the scroll wheel. Whilst this set up...

Canon IXUS 95 IS: The best amateur digital camera on the market

Advantages: Very high quality pictures for both print and web work.
Disadvantages: The bundled software that comes with it has a very Fisherprice feel about it.

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS

Icky Tricky Ixus

Advantages: Very good colour reproduction.
Disadvantages: AiAF multi-point focusing system a bit suspect.

...I borrowed this camera from a family member and gave it a thorough test over a 4 week period. The IXUS 75 is a 7-megapixel high-spec ultra-compact, featuring an f/2.8 - 4.9 3x zoom lens with a focal length range of 35-105mm, a large 3-in LCD monitor and face detection focusing. With dimensions of 91.6 x 56.8 x 19.6mm and weighing only 130g, this really is an ultra-compact model that will slip nicely into a jacket pocket. BuildIn terms of construction and design this is a nice camera to look at but I didn't really find it that comfortable to hold. The body comprises a sleek metal and plastic body that is a bit slippery and lacks grip. Another negative factor are the rather fiddly controls. The zoom control situated around the shutter button is especially tricky to use. In fact most of the controls are rather small and cumbersome...

  IXUS 400 - Quality At A Price

Advantages: Top-notch build quality and design. First rate results
Disadvantages: No case! Quite pricey for specification level. Shortish battery life with no clear indicator

...I?ve always liked the Canon range of IXUS* pocket cameras, ever since I bought the first, and to my way of thinking, best built model, finished as it was in a hefty satin stainless steel case with just a touch of black plastic around the lens. I guess you?d call this the IXUS 1, except back then it wasn?t numbered, it was THE IXUS. *In other parts of the globe, this may be called an ELPH, as in, ???still, as long as you?ve got your ELPH? (another missed marketing opportunity!) Over a 6-year period it has served us well, except for a failure during its guarantee period, which was fixed free-of-charge. However, only last week while on holiday in Portugal, it developed the same fault, which given its age, I?m forced to conclude will be an un-economic repair. Just lately, I?ve been putting a greater and greater emphasis on using my...

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 400

Canon IXUS 990 IS, excellent camera despite the price

Advantages: Photo quality, ease of use, durability
Disadvantages: expensive, useless memory card, slightly bulky

...This is the second Cannon IXUS model that I have purchased and as before I have been impressed. Picture quality is excellent even when using the digital zoom although a stand is recommended, particularly in poor light. One of the things that make these cameras so attractive is the ease of use, along with a range of camera modes which allow even novices to take good photos in range of environments. I have had the camera for almost 2 years now and it still works well with no signs of drop in performance. The cameras look is stylish with no visible signs of scratches despite its frequent use. The only drawbacks are the cost which is still relatively expensive compared with other models currently out there with the same specification and the size which is quite chunky. Also the memory card provided is virtually worthless due to its...

IXUS for you?

Advantages: Build, image quality
Disadvantages: Buttons can be fiddly to operate

...In some respects I am writing this review to balance out a very unfair 1 star from another writer. Unfortunately another reviewer dropped/knocked the camera off a table and it landed lens first damaging the lens. Accidents happen but it is quite a tecnical bit of kit! The camera was an upgrade to my IXUS 500 as it's had a very tough life so far and I thought it was time to change. I use the 800 alongside my EOS400D so you could say I'm a bit of a Canon'aholic! The IXUS800, like all the IXUS range, has a nice, sleek, sturdy metal body which does protect it from knocks and drops. My 500 has done 10,000 miles being vibrated around on a sportsbike whilst touring Europe, been taken out on boats and covered in sea water, been mountain biking, climbing, caneoing and it still works and takes pretty good images. It's got a few...

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS

Digital Ixus 960 IS

Advantages: Image quality, face recognition, viewfinder, ease of use.
Disadvantages: 3.7 zoom, user guide.

...I've just got back from two week's holiday in Crete and Santorini with this camera and I am very impressed with the shots I've taken. I bought the Canon Ixus 960 IS as a solution to taking a digital SLR, plus lenses etc. due to hand luggage restrictions as it easily fits in a pocket. The image quality is pin sharp, focussing exceptional and since I have problems with camera shake due to arthritis I was overjoyed to find that the image-stabiliser technology works really well, except in the very darkest of night shots (taken on the cruise ship's deck). Facial recognition works surprisingly well, even when multiple faces are grouped together. The 3.7x zoom is the only real drawback, but it's a small enough niggle. In use I found it easy to swap between the different shooting modes, using the scene mode for most of my...

Disadvantages: not very weather proof

...The Canon Digital IXUS 85 IS is a phenominal camera, its zoom goes uo to 4x. It is also made from a light weight casing, making the whole camera weigh 130grams.
