Canon Ixus 75 - Highly recommended! April 8, 2007

Bought mine around 3 weeks ago. I wanted a high quality point and shoot camera which had a few extra manual adjustments and other facilities on offer and would fit in the pocket. The Canon Ixus 75 fits the bill perfectly. I've used it thus far in auto, manual, macro and the very impressive photo stitch mode where photographs can be taken from either left to right or right to left and then stitched together using the PC software that is provided with the camera. I should add that this software provides a range of other facilities well beyond the stitch function.
It's probably worth mentioning that this little gem also offers limited stop motion video where you can capture, for example, clouds rolling by or people walking by. It does this by taking a picture every 1 or 2 seconds and then putting them together into a video. Very clever.
It's well built and has a superb 3" screen. There is no viewfinder but, as yet, I've not found that I have needed it. Even in bright sunlight the screen is viewable. Battery life is extremely good. The instruction manuals (basic and advanced) are comprehensive though I would have preferred it if the advanced manual had also been provided in paper version (you will find it on the associated CDROM). But that's a small quibble as is the fact that it doesn't come with a case which you will need to buy separately.
This isn't a digital SLR but if you don't need all the fancy extras and comprehensive manual adjustments that a digital SLR camera provides then I strongly suggest that you at least put this one on your shortlist. This little Canon is highly recommended!
Fantastic Camera June 2, 2007

I've had a number of digital cameras, the last one being a 5mp Ixus 55.
Not a bad camera but found the flash a bit poor and the autofocus had a few 'moments'.
So I looked into the Ixus 75, what a fantastic improvement. The image quality is awesome. I was looking at this and the Samsung NV10, a 10mp camera as opposed to the 7.1mp Canon. The Canon was far better. OK the Samsung could generate larger pictures for blowing up prints but to be honest unless you want bigger than A3 size then the 7.1mp is fine. On a 1GB SD card I can get over 200 maximum size shots which is more than enough. Staples are doing the Sandisk 1GB SD for 9.99!!
The flash is bright and fills in well, the red eye reduction is brilliant (the 55 was poor). Good start up times and quick auto focus, the face recognition feature is very clever!
I can't reccomend this camera enough.

I've been searching for a small digital camera for some time now (over six months!). I'm a complete fusspot. I previously purchased two different models from Amazon and sent them back before eventually resting on this one. It seemed to me no-one was making the camera I wanted. I loved Canon's previous attempts; I know folk who own Canon digital cameras and are very happy with them. Indeed, one of the models I had for a few days was infact the IXUS65 (the forerunner to the IXUS70 & IXUS 75). But the IXUS65's plastic finish really bothered me. It felt cheap and slippery to hold. Excellent software though. So when Canon brought out this model (almost identical to the IXUS65, but in metal) I knew I had found my baby. It arrived a few days ago and it ain't going back. It's beautyful, simple, and a real treat. You could buy cheaper cameras, it's true. You might even be happy with that. But in my experience, you might as well commit yourself to spending the extra and getting something you know is going to deliver. I really can't fault this little machine, and believe me, coming from me that's saying something.
A great compact camera January 20, 2008

I looked at this Canon IXUS 75 and the IXUS 70.
The key differences between the two seemed that the IXUS 70 was fractionally smaller, had an optical viewfinder and 2.5" LCD screen Vs the 3" LCD screen found on the IXUS 75.
Other than that they both had a 3xOptical Zoom (5.8 - 17.4 mm), 7.1 Mega Pixel and Lithium Ion rechargeable Battery.
I opted for the IXUS 75 as I rarely use the optical viewfinder and would rather have a bigger screen to view footage.
The screen is extremely good, visible in strong light and easy to view from all angles with great detail and true to life colour.
The video capture feature runs at 640 x 480 pixel at @ 30 frames per sec. Which is as high as you get with compact cameras and results in smooth clear footage with clear sound
When it comes to still images I have found this camera to give excellent results, clear detailed images with good colure accuracy.
The camera offers good results indoors and out with fast image refresh rates and minimal shutter lag.
The flash is also very capable recharging quickly and coupled with an ISO of up to 1600 fast moving images and low light photography is handled well.
Basic Image management software is supplied with the camera along with all necessary leads to play back images on computer or TV.
My IXUS 75 came with a case, 32MB SD card and leather wrist strap, however I am not sure if all units are packaged this way.
There are no manual exposure options but you can choose multiple scene modes (beach, sport, snow, indoor, etc) as well as full auto, long exposure, exposure compensation, exposure lock, flash on, off, red eye reduction & auto, macro, infinity lock and colour manipulation but ultimately this is an full auto point and shoot compact.
I would describe this camera as a small, portable, easy to use, fully automatic, well made quality offering boasting fine image quality under all conditions with a large easy to view 3" colour LCD screen.
Well I'm very happy with it and it has lived up to my expectations.
Buy it! May 25, 2007

i was surprised how small this camera was when it arrived, but this sleak camera didn't let me down.
Pros:
the 3 inch lcd screen is brilliant, more than enough size to see whatever your taking snaps of
i thought the black was a bit ugly at first, but now i realise its one of the most stylish digi cams on the market
7.1 mp is just right, not too low, not ridiculously high, and you notice the sharpness of every shot
options such as eliminating red eye and focusing on the key areas of the photograph such as faces are handy (but i bet quite a few cams have these options anyway)
good for little videos also, with clear sound
cons:
non so far, im sure here will be some little niggles i come across but nothing big enough to strip this beauty of its five star rating. ive prob missed out some more pros aswell, because theres loads!
ill be using this for holidays, social outings etc, for which it is ideal. just remember, i know nothing about cameras, this is my first ever digi cam, so please dont solely go on my reviuew because you might be looking for something more. go on cameras.co.uk for an indepth review of this camera, that's what i based my purchase on.
p.s. remember to buy the Canon DCC-60 soft leather case, that's the case for this camera, nice snug fit and its not too bulky
