For all intents and purposes, this is a very plain looking camera, but it has some astounding qualities: the size is fabulous, fits neatly into a small inobtrusive pouch on your hip, no fussy controls and those there are, are extremely easy to use. The picture quality is absolutley brilliant giving crystal clear photos with stunning colour matching on the large rear lcd screen. It has easy to use software which makes it very quick to download your holiday pictures to the pc... It is worth the very good price and for a first camera or for the more aspiring photographer would make an excellent purchase.

Although one cannot fault the camera in any way itself I would like to make it clear to others that it seems as though Canon are departing from their old bomb proof build quality and are now using predominantly plastic bodies, at least with this model, and the ixus 95 in part.
