Canon Digital Ixus 70

Best digital camera i have ever owned! I did photography for A level and was unsure what camera I should get to carry on with photography for fun. I chose this camera as Canon has such a good reputation. It is the best camera i have ever used. The pictures are so clear and transferring them to your computer is soooo easy (i use a mac so i have not tried it with a PC). The one bad thing is that it does not come with a case but I bought a really cheap one from e bay, about £4.00, and it works great. The extra features such as red eye reduction are good but I leave that till have placed the pictures on the computer. Lots of features but ...  Read the complete review

The canon Digital Ixus 70 is the most robust pocket size digital camera i have ever owned. This product is slightly heavier than most but that is reasuring as you know its well made. The 7.1mp is ample and picture quality is good until you reach the far end of the digtial zoom where obvious noise starts to appear on the image. The camera suffers slightly from vignetting but i only noticed after purchasing a DSLR and seeing the quality from that. The menu is well laid out and easy to navigate. You get lots of options to play about with and chaning exposure values, scene modes and ISO setting are fairly simple and make you feel comfotable enough to change them ...  Read the complete review

When you first look at the Canon Ixus 70, its square styled body, might not be the best styling for some. But it is a love or hate camera, even for those who don't like its aesthetic appearance they would be impressed with its performance. But the modern styling does appeal to a certain degree. One of its advantages is definitely the 0.3 second delay for the shutter, which is undoubtedly good for a compact camera. The quality of the images are very clear and it has quite a good contrast of colours and it does have reasonable colour accuracy. The quality of recording video is quite good, even on standard quality, but you could increase the quality, which would ...  Read the complete review

It is fair to say, that this is probably not the prettiest camera i've, or you've ever likely seen. It's a slimline, palm sized compact, plain looking, with an uninspiring conventional look, which in my opinion is quite drab! The camera has a relatively small 2.5" (inch) true colour screen on the back! Wow that's small. An looking at the users end, it has the wheels, knobs and buttons found on any camera. It also supports all the usual memory formats, as you would expect from a fairly modern Cannon camera. I also noted upon using it, that the control wheel on the back and selector mode, felt rather loose. Overall, the thing felt like holding ...  Read the complete review

I bought this camera as I needed a new camera fast! It takes sd memory cards which is a plus as these are the cheapest ones to buy. The camera itself is very competitively priced for the size and features. It is a small camera suitable for your handbag or pocket on nights out and not too heavy either. The camera at first I found quite fiddley to use with all the buttons are on one big round button so you have to be quite precise this does take some getting used to and I find it really easy to use now. This might be something to bear in mind if you're buying this for a young/elderly person who might find this difficult to grasp. The camera has a range of functions which ...  Read the complete review
