Anonymous, “Experienced hobby-ist photographer”

Same style operation as my previous two IXUS cameras; Excellent indoor photo quality; excellent photo zoom

The outer silve case scratches very easily - mine is already marked, and it has only been in a ladies handbag iwth a soft lininig. The wrist strap looks cheap and does not match the quality of the camera. The memory card supplied is a waste of time.

Michel, Pencaitland

Excellent Auto-Focus and very good scene selection such as indoor image, night, portrait and childs...

Zoom may be a bit too short?

Image quality, build,design, ease of use - great controls, long zoom and good macro facilty - great looking camera

Can be a little difficult to hold - but once used to not a problem - true manual modes would have been nice but knew about that before purchase lower end of zoom could have been a bit wider

Simple to use, with "intuitive" menus and controls - and fantastic images as a result! Nice, compact body so it's never a burden when you're out and about. Best camera I've ever used.

The on/off button is not positioned well, making switching the camera on/off quite tasking.

Snowy, West Yorkshire

Excellent image quality, good choice of modes and settings. Nice build quality.

Owners (printed) instruction manual does not contain enough information. Detailed information has to be loaded and printed out from CD. Over 236 pages. On/off switch a bit fiddly.
