The Canon Ixus 105 camera is a great aquisition for the average photographer or any new beginer to digital cameras. This is the first digital camera I have ever used. I must admit I only use it like the average person, whether its capturing moments on days out with the family or taking high quality pictures to sell or share with other on the internet. Since first using it, I have never had any problems. The camera has always been reliable and the main thing to me was how simple it was to use for a complete novice like myself. I also think that it looks very stylish for the features which it presents unlike some of the more bulkier models. Aswell as the amzing pictures it captures, it can also be used as a video recorder. You can also wacth the videos captured on your camera, through a tv set with the leads supplied. this gets a massive thumbs up for me.
