excellent pocket-sized digital camera

(5 out of 5) by Ms. C. Beety on Oct 4, 2009 (london)
I have owned several small digital cameras, up until now most of them sony. The Canon IXUS 85 IS is simply the best digital camera i have ever owned. Quality pictures, very user-friendly and an array of fab settings; overall brilliant! I would recommend this camera to anyone; from children to experienced photographers. Canon rules ok :)

Poor quality

I have had three Canon Digital cameras over two years & after a few months all of them developed lens problems. The problem starts with a sound as though something has come loose inside, then the picture goes to sepia on screen with massive lag between shots. I really wouldn't advise the Ixus.

Awesome

Canon ixus 85 IS

Very good compact little camera giving sharp pictures and good colour. Excellent zooming eye piece good face recognition software and macro. The card and battery case lid opened accidentally once and looks flimsy. The first camera I purchased, the viewing screen was not working and was replaced by Amazon with no fuss or bother. There was no warning that the battery was running out so a spare is a good idea. Excellent hard leather case.
