A distinctive curved design and three-tone metallic finish set the Digital IXUS 950 IS apart from the crowd. The convenient Touch Control Dial makes it easy to select menu features when shooting or browse captured images in playback. Useful functions can be assigned to the Shortcut button for one-touch access. An 8.0 Megapixel sensor captures the fine detail in every scene, with enough resolution for photo-quality poster prints. The powerful 4x optical zoom lens incorporates Canon's renowned optical Image Stabilizer technology to counteract camera shake. An Ultra-High Refractive Index Aspherical (UA) lens element ensures exceptional clarity throughout the zoom range. Canon's DIGIC III processor provides lightning quick responses, superb image quality and advanced noise reduction for sharper, clearer images. iSAPS technology analyzes each scene to optimize key camera settings even before a shot is taken. Face Detection AF/AE/FE ensures superb people shots by automatically detecting the subjects in the frame and selecting the optimum focus, exposure and flash settings. My Category tags each image based on face detection and shooting mode for easy navigation, printing, deleting and more. During playback Face Detection Technology allows you to quickly and accurately correct red-eye. A high resolution (230000 pixels) PureColor LCD displays richer, vivid colors with sharp definition. An anti-glare, scratch-resistant coating adds extra protection against knocks and scrapes. Shoot clear, bright images in dim conditions with ISO 1600 - ideal for parties and restaurants or where flash photography is not allowed. Use Auto ISO Shift to avoid image blur with the touch of a button whenever camera shake is predicted. A choice of 18 shooting modes includes Creative Light Effect - an innovative feature that uses the optical Image Stabilizer to create shapes from points of light in the background of dark scenes. My Colors allows color effects to be applied to images and movies direct from the camera. Shoot 30fps VGA quality movies with stereo sound. Use the Time Lapse Movie function to capture changing scenes - a flower's bloom, drifting clouds or a bustling city street - for accelerated playback as smooth video clips.

It is immediately distinguishable that the Ixus 950 IS, is a Canon due to its modern and classy aesthetic feature. With a slightly shinny silver finish and mirror like accents, which makes the camera quite attractive. The only issue is you'll face with its body is the constant need to wipe/clean the front because it does get fingerprints easily and some might find it annoying because they won't be able to see their face clearly in it. The size of the camera is not very compact nor is it big, more of a average size that weights just a bit more. When taking photo graphs you can expect good colour accuracy, a good dynamic range. It also supports ... Read the complete review

This is my favourite handheld digital camera! I have bought Canon Ixus' for many years and I have upgraded mine about a year ago. I find the design not only streamlined and beautiful, it feels good in your hand, it's light weight but feels substantial. I sell photographs online, and when I don't have my big digital SLR I have this in my pocket, and I find the results very good and it has not ever dissappointed me. The macro on this camera is AMAZING, and the detail is fantastic. The viewing screen is big, great to view a slide-show of your photographs and show to friends. Digital ixus also backs up as a little movie camera, and the sound is ... Read the complete review

Overall I would say that I am very happy with this camera. It has several functions that seem to have helped the overall appeareance of my photographs. The image stabilizer and the facial recognition features have produced excellent clear images even when I have not taken the time to steady the composition first. The screen is easy to see even during quite bright sunlight when my previous camera screen could not be viewed, however it also has a view finder which is great when the light is just too bright or at the wrong angle on the screen. I have achieved some very arty shots using the colour select and colour swap options but they do take a bit of practice! On ... Read the complete review

Brilliant camera - I purchased this cannon camera nearly 2 years ago and it is still as good as anything else I have found on the market at the moment. It is still taking pictures of the same quality as when I got it and it's battery life is as good as ever. The colour photos are of amazing quiality and it is an ideal camera for taking on hoiliday. It also has a lovely black and white mode. The battery life is brilliant, I only charged it one on a two week long holidayh to florida. It does however sometimes have quite a few red eyes on the pictures, which can easily be removed via simple down loadable computer programmes. The ... Read the complete review
