Canon Digital Ixus 75

For some time I have wanted to buy a digital camera that would be small enough to carry in my pocket and would be easy to use. I already have a canon powershots3 IS and have been really pleased with it. However it's not always convenient to carry around as its quite big and bulky. Having read lots of reviews I decided I really liked the look of the canon Ixus 75. Apart from the glowing reviews I read I was attracted by the large LCD screen and the wealth of functions this camera has. Although it is basically a point and shot camera the Ixus 75 has a lot more to offer! I treated myself to this camera a few months ago so I would have time to practise well before Christmas. ...  Read the complete review

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. Build In 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 ...  Read the complete review

My husband is a bit of a photography bore, and has a top of the range Digital monster of a camera that he adores. I wanted something smaller and easy to use that was alway's accessible for taking quick pictures of family/friends etc - so after spending a lifetime questioning the saleman in Jessops my other half declared that this camera would suit me, and it does. Me and technology don't usually get on, but even I find using the functions on this camera easy to understand and implement, and downloading of the shots to your PC is a breeze. It's easy to review and edit the shots you have taken as the preview/display screen is a good size and its proven to be ...  Read the complete review

After owning this camera for 1 year, I'm left wondering whether I originally purchased a delicate piece of electronic equipment. The IXUS 75 is perhaps one of the most durable and well-built cameras I have ever had the fortune to use. It has survived being dropped, trodden on, dropped down the toilet, and having things spilt on it, and it served me faithfully until it was stolen; clearly somebody else knew how good it was. The picture quality was also fantastic; in daylight it took even and well balanced shots, and coped well with mixed-light conditions. The camera really excelled at night, where a complete absence of graininess, and non-overbearing flash gave ...  Read the complete review

I have just read the review on this camera and it just says it all, so I thought I would just review it as a user. This camera is so easy to use and fits into your pocket or handbag so it is always availible. I am a grandmother with active youngsters, it is in constant use and as it is aim and shoot I never miss a thing. The children use it as well the youngest is 5 and he has taken some lovely photos- and some rubbish ones as well but the delete is easy so no problems there- they also love the sound effects that accompany scrolling thru. This is also a very robust camera as you can imagine it gets rough treatment -even an overnight stay in the fridge! not ...  Read the complete review
