| I recently purchased this camera along with an 8gb memory card which allows you to save 2500 photos on the highest quality settings. I have a proffessional SLR camera which shares many of the features of this camera and you can also manualy control iso speeds white balance etc as well as having fantastic auto and macro modes.I have taken some great pictures in the dark and in brilliant sunlight. The screen is very large for the tiny size of the camera body taking up most of the rear, the controls are well laid out and intuative to use. I have large fingers and hands and do not have any problems operating as suggested by a previous reviewer. The real gem of this camera is the HD video it records I was absolutely blown away with the quality of the playback on my Sony Bravia and also on my HD PC monitor while the sound playback from the camera speaker isnt great it is more than adequate when played back through PC or TV speaker systems. Man, Woman or older child I would recommend for anyone who wants a small compact top quality camera. |
Even better than expected.

| This my 4th Canon digital camera, I'm still using an old Powershot G2 (still fantastic results) and a Powershot G6 (a fantastic camera in every respect) but my old Ixus 400 just gave up the ghost and, needing a true pocket camera, the Ixus 100 IS seemed the perfect choice. Most of the good reviews don't come close to describing the ease of use and great results from this camera. The stills are fabulous from a camera/lens combination of this size and the video facility shows great quality when replayed. The camera (mine is black) is also unobtrusive which can be a boon if taking pictures at a party etc. All in all a fantastic camera and by today's standards, excellent value for money. |
Small powerful and stunning HD video

I bought this little camera for my wife to use. The pictures from it are wonderful, the battery lasts a pretty long time, and the 1280x720P video is simply amazing. How it does it with sich a tiny lens is beyond me. I recently went to a family wedding, they had nobody videoing - so I shot as much as I could using this camera. When I got home, and loaded it to DVD ... my wife was as pleased as I was. I also have the EOS5D MkII which is the most amazing camera in the World .. but this little Ixus camera does an incredibly good job at a fraction of the price and size.
Wish the optical zoom was more - but hey - at THIS price!!?? |
Amaizing macro

| I just bought this camera because the good reviews I saw, and I have to say that I am really surprise with the quality of all of it in general, but above all...the macro in manual mode, I love macro and I was in doubt if buying a big camera or this one, thinking that I wouldn't be able to take good macros, but my goodness!!! It gets so close!!! I am really happy with it and I am only started to know it, I think this little thing has more than one surprise hidden as you get to know it. And so small but practical... Really, the money is really worth it. |
Amazing Camera, Read!

After waiting a week for this camera to arrive due to Royal Mail issues, I am supremely amazed with this camera.
As soon as I excitedly opened the box, there you can see the little elegant black beauty. It looks stylish, it's compact and feels amazing in the hands. It looks much better in real life than it does in the Amazon images.
As soon as I turned it on, within 1 second I was already up and ready to shoot images, MY were they amazing. Every single shot I took stole my breath away. Now I'm not easy to please but my last camera was a low-end Samsung 7MP D75 Camera, and I thought that took good images, but this, this is out of the 5-star rating system, I would rate it 100 stars if I can. See for yourself when you take images. They're vibrant, crystal clear, full of colour and with a bright screen they look stunning.
Now the video. I didn't think the video would be very good but when I tried it indoors it was AMAZING, true HD. Crystal clear image. I watched it on my laptop and it looked fantastic in full screen. The camera is full of features and options.
Now some people did say that the buttons are too small and I slightly agree with them. At first you will feel they are small but you'll get used to them quite quickly.
On that note, I have to say the camera is extremely easy to use. I quickly learned how to shoot in manual mode, how to take Macro shots, how to enable/disable the flash, how to delete images, how to rotate them, etc.
It also has auto-rotate; twist it right and it rotates the image right automatically, twist the camera left and it rotates the image left, just like my C905.
I haven't seen any bad points in the camera and I would DEFINITELY recommend it to ANYONE, even the professional photographers. I am truly stunned and this is the best camera I've had, beating my C905 8MP Phone and my Samsung D75 7MP Camera right out the picture, and for that price, you can't even fault it whatsoever.
A small compact easy-to-use camera boasting amazing true HD images & video.
5-Star, very highly recommended.
Hope you liked my review! |
