Canon Digital Ixus

I've had my Ixus for about 3 months now and its a fantastic little camera. Canon have got it just right with the styling and the dimensions of the camera as, in my opinion, it is one of the best looking models currently on the market. The Ixus (with a 2.11 mega pixel rating) has 3 settings for picture quality. I just use the medium setting whih results in excelent pictures and reasonable usage of the media card. The camera comes as standard with a Canon branded 8MB Compact Flash card. In medium, this only holds about a dozen images so a media upgrade is certainly a top priority. I have since brought additional 32MB and 128MB Compact Flash cards, ...  Read the complete review

The Canon Digital Ixus camera is awesome because it's absolutely tiny and yet packs in so many functions. The basic functions are easy to use, but some of the more advanced functions are more difficult, just in remembering how to set them. The manual is reasonable and is written in good English. It has 2X optical zoom (35-70mm) and ISO 100 sensitivity. Nothing to write home about, but the image quality is good even in low light situations. The flash mode also seems better than most other digital cameras: it gives even and smooth flash. The cycle time between shots is as good if not better than most other megapixel cameras at about half a second. ...  Read the complete review

*click* The Digital Ixus shares many design characteristics with its non-digital Canon cousins. It's tiny, shiny, gorgeous to look at, easy to use, and has a high "Oooh! Can I play with that?" quotient. Let's not knock the dinkiness factor when evaluating personal electronics. We can be posh and call the Ixus a 'design classic' if we like, but the fact is that it's a dinky (if you're female), sexy (if you're male) piece of kit that is a lot of fun to own. Ultimately that's the best reason to buy one. If you're looking at digital cameras at all, then you probably know the pros and cons of going ...  Read the complete review

This camera exudes sex appeal. It's the size of a box of cigarettes, silver, and high tech. Gadgets have to be sexy for me to speed money on them. Big, square, bricks masquerading as digital cameras were not going to get my vote. Dinky and polished steel was. The Ixus is not only small, but it's light, fully featured and easy as anything to use. Just point and click. The manual is extremely well written. The buttons and User Interface on the back of the camera is well thought out and easy enough to use. The small display is crystal clear and gives a good playback of the picture you've just taken, including a nice zoom function to look ...  Read the complete review

The Canon Digital Ixus is a nice little toy indeed! This small silver camera is ideal for sticking into a handbag, putting in a pocket, or (if you can be bothered buying the case) hanging off your belt. Nice and small, easy to take out, can't be bad things for a camera, surely? But what about the functions? The Canon Digital Ixus is a 2.1Mpixel camera, which is fairly decent as long as you're not expecting any pieces of art to come from it. It has a small LCD screen on the back to view the pictures you have taken, or act as a viewfinder. It also has a viewfinder so you don't have to use the screen if you don't like it, and can opt for the ...  Read the complete review
