No backward compatibility -I had purchased a Canon 4M only last year with a spare battery and memory and this new Canon has a fractionally smaller battery and a different memory card. Annoying!

Lovely to look at. Takes good photos. Easy to load into computer. Battery life seems to be good.

Should be able to crop photos in the camera so no resolution lost. Should have a proper manual of instruction and not need to load a CD each time to check operation. I really feel that the little pamphlet provided is totally inadequate and useless when travelling if you need help. I feel very strongly about the need for a printed manual of instruction that one can take with one on holiday.

Expert reviews for Canon Digital IXUS 750
TechRadar expert review
You can't accuse the Ixus 750 of being flimsy.
Compared with many digital compacts, the Canon feels as though it's been
'built' rather than just put together. Its full metal jacket is sure to stand
the test of time. The Ixus also bucks the trend of relying
purely on its LCD for framing shots, because it has an optical viewfinder as well
as a generous 2.5-inch display. This means that you can squeeze extra shots out
of the camera between recharges of the Li-Ion cell by turning off the LCD, as
well as reducing camera shake in low lighting conditions by pressing the Ixus against
your face…

Camera Type

|
Compact
|
|
There are 2 main types of camera: The SLR and the Compact.
SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras use a prism to reflect the exact image as seen through the lens and so offers a more accurate viewfinder. SLR cameras have detachable lenses offering greater flexibility if you wish to take a variety of different photographs.
Compact cameras have a built in lens and an ‘above lens’ viewfinder which is less accurate but they are often cheaper, more sleekly designed and easier to carry anywhere with you to capture that moment perfectly without having to fiddle with complex settings or a bag full of lenses.
|
Optical Zoom Ratio

|
3
|
|
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
|
Screen Size in Inches

|
2.5
|
|
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
|
Digital Zoom Ratio

|
4
|
|
Not to be confused with optical zoom, digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image thus simulating optical zoom. In doing so, some image quality is lost.
|
Image Stabilisation

|
No
|
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images.
It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.
|
Memory Card Slot

|
Yes
|
|
Having a memory card slot allows you to save data to a memory card and then transfer it to another device. For example you may put a photo from your camera or mobile phone onto a memory card and then plug it into your printer to print directly.
Memory card slots come in many formats:
Compact Flash Card
Memory Stick Duo
Micro SD Card
MMC
SD Card
SDHC Card
|
PictBridge

|
Yes
|
|
An industry standard allowing images to be printed from camera to printer, without needing a computer. CIPA PictBridge Standard Website
|
Macro Mode

|
Yes
|
|
This mode allows close-up photograpy of small objects such as insects and flowers.
|
Video Recorder

|
Yes
|
|
Video recording functionality allows the capture of videos in mpeg or avi format which is great if you want to capture a whole scene, not just one moment.
|
Timer

|
Yes
|
|
Having a timer function is essential if you want to get into the shot yourself. Make sure your camera has this feature if you plan to go on holiday and capture photos of you and your friends or family having fun together.
|
Dimensions (mm)

|
89.5x57x27.4
|
|
The size of the device in millimetres, in width x height x depth.
|
Weight (g)

|
170
|
|
The weight of the product in grams.
|
Flash

|
Yes
|
Whether or not your camera has an in-built flash.
Flashes are essential for fully capturing a low light image.
|
Resolution (Pixels)

|
3072x2304
|
|
A camera sensor, that captures the photograph, is measured in pixels. The number given here is the horizontal amount of pixels followed by the vertical quantity of pixels.
The more pixels a camera sensor has, the bigger and higher quality the image will be.
|
Shortest Shutter Speed

|
1/2000
|
|
This is the fastest speed at which the camera can take a photo. Faster shutter speeds really freeze the action and are great for sports photography.
|
Longest Shutter Speed

|
15s
|
This is the longest exposure your camera will take. The longer you take a photo for, the more light is let in and the more motion is captured.
Long shutter speeds can give fantastic, artistic results.
Try photographing the night sky at 30s or longer to see how the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to curve through the scene.
|
Max. Aperture Lens 1

|
f2.8-4.9
|
Measured in f-stops the aperture of a lens dictates the maximum amount of light captured.
If you want to do low light photography look for something with a wide aperture like f2.8.
The widest aperture is given as a range as it changes when your lens is zoomed in.
|
USB Port

|
Yes
|
|
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
|
WiFi

|
No
|
|
Wifi allows you to connect your device to wireless routers or modems which allows you to connect to broadband internet.
