Easy to operate, easy on the eye and easy on the pocket. I am well pleased with the product and also with delivery.

I purchased this camera from Amazon. It was delivered from the U.K. (Pixamania) through Amazon. The LCD has two white speckles on it (inside).I would expect for the price payed that the product would be perfect. I now have to return it to Pixamania in France. I have not checked how much this will cost yet and I do not know when I will get a replacement. I suggest you purchase it from somewhere else. I bought from Amazon thinking it would be a "no hassle" buy.

Have had this camera a few weeks now, but am yet to read the manual - which shows how simple it is to use, despite the fact that I've never had a Canon before. Particularly pleasing is the speed at which the camera is ready to shoot after initially switching it on. This ensures that you don't miss that all important shot before the opportunity has passed. The camera is suprisingly small & takes up no more room in your pocket than a mobile phone.
The only complaint I have is that I wish it had a better optical zoom, although that's not really a fault of the camera because I knew it only had a 3x when I ordered it.
Overall, I am very pleased.

The digital Ixus by Canon is a moderately priced pocket size digital camera which is an excellent compromise between paying your funeral fees for a digital SLR and making do with your phone.

It is light, easy to get started with, rewards attention to the manual for more advanced work and accepts an enhanced memory card which means you never have to "change film". My only criticism is the failure to include a spare battery which for the sake of a few quid extra would remove the only other cause of unexpected camera collapse.

I was so pleased with this camera. Its a great all rounder and so simple to use. Picture quality was excellent. would highly recommend it
