Advantages: Excellent images for the price

Disadvantages: .

The Canon Digital Ixus is the best digital camera that I have encountered by far. Granted I have not tried all cameras but for the selection I have played with this tops the lot.
Its sleek ultra-compact style makes it not just practical but also good to look at. Friends will admire the camera pointing at them; blessed by its magnificence.

Spec:-

With 2.1 million pixel CCD it allows images of up to 1600x1200.
2x zoom lens with high resolution allowing wide-angle shots (telephoto) and good zoom.
10 second self-timer.

Other:-

The memory used is a CompactFlash card (camera supplied with 8mb card). 8mb allows between 4 and 46 images (depending on quality) to be stored in JPEG format.
The link to computers is via a USB cable and the camera comes equipped with all the necessary software needed for the transfer if images to your desktop computer. It also comes with Adobe Photodeluxe home edition so that you can play around with your images to get them looking really good (I quite like Photodeluxe as an editing tool although it can be complicated in areas).

Additional ‘Extras’ :-

The camera has a lot of extra options but at an extra cost, naturally. Flash cards of varying capacity are available as well as AC adapter, enabling the camera to run off an AC power source. There is also the possibility of an all-weather case which is dust-proof and water-proof to a depth of 3 metres.

Conclusion:-

The is camera has enough good features and for the price it does the job admirably. The photos are good quality although I’m sure better could be achieved but this certainly is a worthwhile digital camera.
