+ I love this camera, my old IXUS was great, and this one is fab, i'd recommend it to anyone, after trailing through endless reviews i'm really glad i bought it. The pictures are sharp, and really vivid, the auto function for taking pics is spot on, and I really like the face recognition.

- None as yet!

+ fantastic piece of kit battery life is brillant, great pictures as you would expect from canon

- easy to mess up your settings but is easy to set back to manufacturer settings
but my 13 year old daughter uses it and probably messing too much with it !
so may not be a problem for a older person

+ Easy to use with good quality photo's.

+ sturdy build quality and fast switch on time

- Indepth user manual is on cd no paper manual

+ Sturdy, solid, easy to use and small.

- Software is not as good as previous versions of Ixus - was able to set it up to automatically upload picture then automatically delete images from camera, all by dropping camera into crandle. Have been unable to work out how to do this on this camera. Also doesn't have a cradle, its just a usb connection which is not as slick.

+ The overall feel and positioning of the controls is very good for a right hander, as you'd expect from an ixus. Separate real viewfinder will be bonus on days when a bright sun is behind you. i.s. seems to work well, but won't make a bad shake go away, care still needs to be taken. Lightweight, easy to carry, there's no excuse not to have this camera with you at all times, ready for that moment.

- Not much on the bad side, viewing screen could do with some protection from scratches. The carry strap is only for the wrist as with most/all Canons - it would benefit from an adjustable neck strap.

+ looks lovely, easy to use

- none

+ Just very good overall.

- I can't think of any.

- some features missing e.g. frames

+ Great all rounder, impressed with size, carry it everywhere. Unusual case colour.

- Haven't found any so far.

+ All round great little camera.

- Can't think of any.

+ the face detection technology. rechargable battery so better value for money long term.

- none spring to mind

+ Size & Style

+ Looks great, feels great, menus system fairly inuitive.

- The multishot seems to be overly fiddly and slow, when it is often something you need in a hurry.

+ camera quality and image

- very filmsy

+ 1) Good colour, easy to use and great picture quality.
2) Charger has UK and european power cable which is wonderful.

2) LCD resolution is not that good.

+ The camera looks very smart and is very easy to use. The picture quality is excellent.

- Haven't found any so far. I love this camera.

+ Excellent photographs in a very small package at a low price.

- I accidentally dropped my first one and it stopped working - so not very robust. But I liked it so much I immediately bought another..

+ Easy to use, good features such as digital macro, good quality photos.

- Didn't come with a big enough memory card or camera case.

+ Controls fall to hand - menus easy to learn

- None so far

+ good clarity for the pictures taken and the flash is so good

- red eye correction is not good. even if the red eye correction is on, it doesn't work out well.

+ Have no idea, as Tesco advertised the camera on their site, took the order along with extra storage card, gave me a delivery date then contacted me later to say they don't have the goods. So no camera.

- Who knows, just tell Tesco not to sell things they haven't got.

+ Excellent quality photos. Takes well in low lighting. Automatic mode very easy and pleasing to use. Attractive.

- As it is an older model, it could be better value for money, but I'm very impressed by the quality of photos so would say it is worth purchasing.

+ Light , easy to use, good picture quality.

- Resizing the image is a bit jumpy rather than continuous.

+ Back up Batteries are relatively cheap and available.
Canon Make good cameras
