Canon Digital Ixus 95 IS Reviews: Digital Compact Camera

+ Neat, solidly built good optics for the money

- Nothing bad to say, it is good value for money

+ This is a great camera, very user friendly with a simple short guide to how to get going and the option of installing the CD for lots more detail. The camera replaces an older much slower one. I like the battery system - so easy and speedy to set up and recharch; so far it seems to have a long charge. I have used the camera a lot and for flash and I really have not noticed a drain on the battery and have only topped it up just in case. Its got a view finder - useful in sunny conditions - my old camera has a view finder so I know how useful it can be. Slim and easily slides in handbag or pocket. Can be used on auto which does/controls every thing for you or there is the option to do your own controlling. All the menu is so eay to use and understand. I am really pleased that I choose this camera and am getting excellent photos.

- So far I,ve not come across any!

+ Very easy to use. Night shots captured really well without flash. Sturdy design.

- was able to format the memory card accidentally. No safeguard as to whether or not format was required as on most cameras.

+ Excellent, all-round compact;. Stunning images even at 12x zoom (optical+digital that is). Just does a great job, whoever is holding it. Can't fault it. Tiny - so wife loves it too.

- Doesn't stabilise the image too well with low lit conditions AND in long zoom. But otherwise.. GREAT!

+ image quality, menu easy to use

- covering material (plastic) could be better quality, or metal

+ Extremely easy to use. Picture quality fantastic. Very clear shots even in dim lighting. It turns on very quickly and you can take immediate shot after shot, as to not miss the moment.

- Haven't found any,

+ Great design, compact, superb build quality. Price. The pictures are sharp and colours bright.

- Some of the buttons are a bit fiddly if you are getting on a bit!

+ It shows the preview of the centre focus prior to taking the photo. Fast recovery after every snap. Recommended for point and shoot users as the settings have been automatically optimised by the camera.

- There are limited settings for different environment, possibly because most settings are automatically adjusted when taking photos. The hinge of battery cover seems easily damaged so need to be careful not to drop it.

+ Its small ,takes perfect pictures ,had a good deal on price ,love canon cameras this is a cracker really recomended,

- Not found any ,

+ This is my first Canon and I am extremely pleased with it, the main reason for purchase was the viewfinder as I had had problems before in bright sunshine with the screen reflecting. It takes excellent pictures and was very easy to use.

- Haven't found any yet.

+ viewfinder,self selection pic modes ,light and easy to use

- none

+ Small and robust

- Cover on AV connection point flimsy. No hand book ( on line ). No memory card included. Wrist strap has no tightener.

+ Optical viewfinder, size

- No aperture or speed priority manual settings

+ Easy to use with good picture quality.

- Cover for the USB lead is fragile and looks like it will break before long

+ Size, clarity of pictures, ease of use

- The cost of the appropriate cover

+ Slim enough to fit in a pocket while maintaining all the features from my old Ixus 500. I also like the sound feature when replaying videos on the camera which the Ixus 500 was sadly missing.

- The price dropped on your web site the day I received it!!

+ Bright pink colour. Excellent functions which make great photos really easy to take.

- delete button is too close to scroll when reviewing photos on the camera!

+ Nice compact size, quick start up, very good point and shoot. scene modes give good variety and other programable features make for good range of subject matter.

- print manual lacks in depth features, scene mode menu not as quick to access as would like (ie on powershot models). no in camera battery charging facility in basic pack.

+ easy to use (on AUTO setting), fast from off to shoot, good video, some very good pictures, solid build overall, good screen playback and sound.

- a bit hit and miss in low light, socket cover a little flimsy.

+ Neat, tidy and easy to use. All you could want from a point and shot camera.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Some of the colours, particularly flesh tones, over saturate

+ Very Easy to use, and the video quality is remarkably good, with good sound. It slips easily into a shirt pocket, so very convenient.

- Haven't found any yet.

+ Excellent Picture Quality

- Zoom could be longer

+ Very sharp pictures even with an unsteady hand

- Manually overiding auto settings is fiddly e.g. to maually out flash on

+ Easy to hold/use/get good results on automatic

- Most of the Manual has to be downloaded and printed off which is tiresome, some instructions are not clear to beginners.

+ Neat, robust, easy to use. Excellent. I bought a Canon Ixus when they first came out and it lasted 6years before it began to "act up", making lines across the screen when I wanted to take a photo. The price had come down so much that I bought a new one with bigger screen, etc. It is so good that I have bought this latest one for my 8yr old grandson and he is really learning a lot about photography with this fabulous camera.

- Can't think of any!

+ Small and light

- A bit fiddly.

+ Image quality is excellent especially when at maximum zoom, small and compact, I wanted a good point and shoot and it does that very well

- Can't think of any really, perhaps attaching the usb cable is a bit fiddly but apart from that.

- I am annoyed that it does not allow you to crop and save a cropped photo. This was not obivious from the specification and I just assumed it would have that facility as we have had cheaper cameras in the past that have had that facility. I thought it was standard these days. Unfortunately by the time I realised I had thrown the box away so can not exchange it for a camera with the crop and save facility. I would love to be able to upgrade if I could??????

+ Very easy, menus easy to find

- Screen a bit fuzzy but actual picture great quality

+ Great looking & good, solid feel

- Poor reaction to different lighting conditions when on automatic settings. Accompanying software is very dated in look & performance.

+ Ideal for my daughter. comfortable in-hand, easy to use and display easy to follow. Picture quality very good for this range of camera.

- none really

+ It is really easy to use and so light. I love the colour as well!

+ Basic controls, good quality photos, slim and compact, by far the best camera on the market for the price

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Brilliant quality and zoom! Also really good on a night out with the night time setting!

- Quite complicated to work out all the settings at first so you have to sit down and work out what everything does.

+ Lightweight, fits easily into shirt pocket

- would have liked a nicer, more substantial carrying case

+ it's thin, it's slinky, it's light, it's cool, easy to use, good quality and just perfect for someone that wants a good and simple camera.

+ Easy to use; quick to power up, quick to take shot, excellent video quality. Quick and easy to review images and transfer to PC.

- Zoom lens motor makes a noise which suggests it will stop working long before the camera does.

+ Very easy to use. Definitely just point and shoot! Has face recognition for portraits and the auto focus works really well. Captures light really well. Looks nice and it lightweight. Would definitely recommend!
