A fantastic little camera March 26, 2007

I've had this camera for 2 years now, and unlike other reviewers I haven't had a single problem. It always takes a great picture and even the videos are fantastic. Due to its compact size characteristic of the canon Ixus range, I take this camera around with me everywhere. It has had its fair share of knocks, none of which caused any damage, and so I was disappointed to find other people have had problems. br /If reviews about problems with errors puts you off this camera, dont let them put you off the canon ixus range altogether. Since I got this camera, every member of my family has purchased a canon ixus camera, and none of us have had any problems. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is simply the slight annoyance that it does not have a battery level icon. Although we have since discovered that these little cameras unsurprisingly do not take well to water!!
 Best compact camera I have owned December 29, 2006

This has been a great camera; I bought it for our honeymoon in September 2005 and it hasn't let us down since. I have taken more photos in the past year than in the whole of my life before!! This is largely down to the size of the camera as it now goes everywhere with me. This coupled with good build quality and enough manual control for most users makes it a real winner. br /Battery life is good although you will want to get a spare. I had two cheap no name versions which lasted well for a year but now don't hold their charge. Not a false economy as they were so much cheaper than the Canon original. My spare is now a named 3rd party battery (energizer) which seems to be lasting at least as well as the original if not more. br / br /Downsides are hard to find but red eye is a slight issue. There are two ways to get around this: 1) get your subjects to "look into the orange light" but this only works for posed shots. 2) Use any of the thousands of (often free) software packages to remove redeye easily. br / br /My father in law now has the new Ixus 65 and seems to be just as happy with that with his massive screen and a million more pixels but I'm still happy with this one for now. The next compact I buy will be a Canon.
 Good camera but treat it carefully! October 27, 2006

Really happy with this camera (very small, versatile, etc.) until I too got the dreaded shutter fault and it cost me 80 to get it fixed! br / br /Now I have bought a camera case and will very careful using this in any dusty/sandy environment in the future!
