David, Flimwell, East Sussex

Small, neat, very well put together, easy to use and smart looking little camera. Very good picture quality for such a small camera. This is my third Ixus *0 series after a 40 and then a 60 - even though I've never been disappointed, Canon still seem to manage to get them better with each incarnation! Slight gripes with the previous version have been improved, with a better A/V connector cover and (I think) an improved battery life.

Not much. It would be good to have better battery life, and a spare battery is definitely a good idea for long days, but then it does have a superb 2.5" so you can't have everything!

Small but solid. Easy to use and upload pics.

Comes with memory card which only takes around 8 pics so need to buy another card with larger capacity (easy to do so no real problem)

The photographs are very sharp.

The access covers (memory card & USB cable connection) are made of plastic and are flimsy. it's only a matter of time until the weak hinges snap.

I bought this for my mum for her 60th birthday, even she can use it!! This is easy to use, the screen is big enough for her to see and it looks great. Now I want one.

Very lightweight, and the picture quality seems even better than my last Canon camera which was dropped in the road and ran over !

The only slightly irritating thing is the slider to re view your pics, it seems too close to the video setting and sometimes ends up on that one. The layout on the switch is top middle and bottom position to look at pics-- Its difficult to describe, but it wouldnt put me off buying Canon again.

Hannah, Surrey

Very stylish, user friendly and light weight. LCD screen is excellent in all situations.

Doesn't come with carry case. The memory card provided with the camera is too small- making it necessary to buy another. Image quality is no where near as good as I expected. There is a grainyness on the photos and lack of sharpness, even when on the best possible quality setting. My 9 year old 2.0 megapixel camera I was replacing produces better pictures so very dissapointed!
