Canon Digital Ixus 40

Canon have always been at the forefront of the Point and Shoot digital camera market, and the Ixus 40 is another example of how to do this kind of thing just right. The camera it'self is extremely small - it's shorter than an average mobile phone, although slightly wider and thicker. It's definitely small and light enough to sit comfortably in your trouser pocket all day (as mine often does!). The weight is just enough that you don't feel it will break the first time you drop it. As well as the basic job of taking pictures, you also get the usual additional features such as movies (in numerous formats), different types of settings for ...  Read the complete review

Introduction ========== I'd been thinking about a digital camera for quite some time now but always thought it was too expensive. It was only when a friend took our wedding photos with his digital camera that I realised how wrong I was. The cost per print is far less than traditional film and because you choose what to print, you don't waste loads of money printing rubbish. You end up with fewer, better quality photos because you can see whether the photo has "come out" straight away. I was always taking duplicate photos "just in case" and getting double prints when the film was developed because the cost of reprints was so high. Now I can ...  Read the complete review

What a beast! We had a 2Megapixel camera which was starting to play up so I had a good look around at what was available. 4Mpixels now seemed affordable so I set that as my lowest levels. A few photographic sites helped with the selection process. In the end it was the size and weight which made me choose this one. Other cameras may have produced slightly better photos but the size and weight meant that they get left at home just when you want to take a photo. This camera is so neat that it easily fits in a pocket and can go anywhere. Despite the small size the LCD display is big. It does rather take up the whole of the back of the camera leaving little room ...  Read the complete review

I recently received this camera for my birthday, and having previously no desire for a digital camera I was pleasantly surprised. This is one of the smallest digital camera’s I have ever seen, and I personally think this is an important aspect in this modern age. One of the things that put me off digital cameras in the past was their bulky characteristics. This is not an issue here, with the Ixus’ pocket size design. The size of this camera has not meant that other qualities of this camera have had to be sacrificed. It has 4.0 mega pixels, which provides an excellent quality in the finished photograph. The camera is very easy to use with a automatic focusing tool, ...  Read the complete review

I was brought this camera by my husband as a brithday present in June and have never been without it since.... It is nice, compact and lightweight which allows me to carry it in my handbag everywhere. It is even small enough to be able to take out in a small evening bag. The camera features are quick and easy to access and the layout of the display is very easy to navigate and understand. So if like me you are not very technical this is a good camera. The ability to take short video clips has been very usefull for gathering information in my job, as well as trying to show the vet how ill my dog was. VERY VERY USEFUL The ...  Read the complete review
