Canon Digital Ixus 960 IS ... SDHC, MMCplus / The embodiment of technical and design excellence, the Digital IXUS 960 IS unites 12.1 Megapixels, 3.7x optical Image Stabilizer lens and Face Detection Technology within its sleek titanium form.

Inspired by the smooth curves of the human form, the molded titanium body of the Digital IXUS 960 IS fits comfortably in the hand. The Touch Control Dial offers fingertip access to key camera functions.

The Digital IXUS 960 IS incorporates a 3.7x zoom lens with Canon's renowned optical Image Stabilizer technology to counteract camera shake. The ultra-compact lens incorporates an Ultra-High Refractive Aspherical Index (UA) element for the capture of high quality images throughout the zoom range.

In tandem with IS, user-selected Auto ISO Shift offers enhanced protection against camera shake. High ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto target the blur caused by typical subject movement.

Canon's DIGIC III processor provides lightning quick responses, superb image quality and advanced noise reduction for sharper, clearer images. Face Detection AF/AE/FE and iSAPS analyze the scene, detect subjects in the frame and select the optimum focus, exposure and flash settings.

The video option is very useful too with 640 x 480 (VGA) at 30fps and 1024 x 768 (XGA) at 15fps. The camera takes MMC and SD cards which is of course a popular option - with cards available cheaply. The camera is supposed to take SDHC cards which means it will support upto 16Gb but I have only tried 2Gb cards with it - it works fine. I would recommen...more

I bought this in november last year from Dubai where i halted for a week before going to India, i bought it for approx £185 which compared to the price overe here in london is quite cheap. This 12 mega pixel camera just caught my eyes as i was loooking for a good digi cam and i most of the times i prefer cannon. So i bought it after seeing the features of this lovely camera. It has 2.5 inch LCD Screen, it has image stabilizer technology which helps in when your camera shake a bit. It has Optical zoom lens, there are differect scenes modes which is good, so which in itself is good so that you can try different scenes to click your images, this camera ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Ixus All Rounder (337 words)
by - written on 26/07/09 (Very useful, 33 readings)
Rating:

The Canon Ixus 960 IS has a rather solid and sturdy appearance that truly screams quality and elegance. Upon holding the camera, you can feel the differences in the material and instant know that it is something of substance. Indeed it is, with a body made from Titanium. Even the mention of it would lead you to wonder the amount of physical abuse the camera would be able to withstand. The camera's construction is built sturdily, therefore it is capable of withstanding the occasional knock or drop. The size of the camera is slightly bigger than the smallest compact cameras, however this extra size is justified as it houses functions such as image ...  Read the complete review

I bought the IXUS 960 after lots of comparing with other similar cameras from different brands. Its features stick out as it has 12 megapixels, 3.8x optical zoom, 2.5" LCD screen, the ability to take 1024x768 videos (nearly HD!) and has a good processor. The camera is titanium coated - so it looks nice and is supposed to be resistant to scratch. The response time is fast - I have managed to snap pictures of the Red Arrows flying past!

Premium Review Smart camera for less SLR smart camera users (155 words)

I got this camera in March last year after upgrading from the smaller ixus model. The functions are fantastic. As an art and photography student I was so impressed with the quality and effects you can use without having an SLR - photographs look professional and as if they've been edited. I carry it with me at all times and think its perfect for those quick snaps of something beautiful as well as set up shots where you can use all the settings to get almost any effect. I would recommend it highly as its so easy to use to such brilliant effect and a really good size. I'm always given job of photographer at parties because the pictures seem to capture the atmosphere as ...  Read the complete review

Ease of use newer technologies mean it has been overtaken

Cheap on the second hand market, great quality in build and picture only 4MP - but does this really matter on a Point and Shoot?

takes fair pictures heavy

everything nothing

Good battery stamina, fast processing times, wide range of manual settings Could be better when shooting in low light conditions
