 A must - Buy it NOW! May 29, 2007

My dad has the original APS format of this camera so when I saw it in the digital format I had to have it. It is very easy to use and dispite what other reviews say the software has been updated and does run on windows vista (as it says on the disc). The lowepro napoli case 5 is also a must as is a perfect fit, like it was made only for this camera. It is not bulky like other camera cases. I did not order it in the bundle but bought it from jessops so I could see how it looked in the flesh.
The camera has some great features such as colour filtering. You can take some really profesional looking photos that are black and white with selected colours only, eg all black and white except the blue sky.The face recognition feature is also a very good feature and there is no fooling it with "fake faces" - such as masks. Clever stuff!
This camera is really very good and for 165 you won't find a better one. Its even better knowing its 250 in shops (see John Lewis or Jessops website).
The images and screen are both very sharp. I dont know how it fairs with movies but I dont really care as I only want to take photos! The software it comes with also allows you to edit the images and can even merge similar pictures together with no visable sign of the join.
As you propably know it has many features for the technically minded wanting to do specific things but it is so easy to use even your grandma can just point and press and then see the outcome.
I would recommend it to anyone!

most people concentrate on the specs of a camera when they write a review mainly cos they take more care than i did on my first use but basically i dropped it from a little over a metre it landed on the edge of a solid metal air vent, whats worse it landed on the lense when it was out...what happened? nothing! a little scratch and everything is working perfectly!
i am really happy with that because i needed something robust. other things battery charges quickly but always handy to have a second to use while it is charging especially as they are not expensive on amazon.
a lovely, tough little camera which takes photos exactly as you would like! :)
IXUS 70 April 28, 2007

As a point and shoot this is perfect. It's small and incredibly easy to use. In the default auto setting it adjusts itself to almost every situation in a fraction of a second and produces large, crystal clear pictures with ease. If you happen to know you're going to be in a specific situation, the range of pre-set situations settings just tweak it that bit further.
The face recognition technology tracks people's faces and adjust portions of the picture accordingly, producing excellent shots in clubs etc which i expect is where alot of people my age will use it. If you delve deeper into the menus there are an awful lot of various settings you can fiddle around with but im yet to venture from the defaults which work just fine.
The only downside is the lack of a case - i bought the DCC-60 case which fits fine but just doubles the size of the camera in your pocket. Another word of warning is the PC software. It refused to install itself on Vista, so after a quick call to Canon's technical support desk it transpired that none of the bundled CD software actuallys works on Vista yet, so you have to plug the camera into the PC and let Vista find the drivers and software itself. Aside from thats it's been plain sailing and i can't give the camera itself anything less than 5 stars.
 The slimmest Canon Digital IXUS yet... April 11, 2007

The slimmest Canon Digital IXUS yet - this camera takes great photos in nearly all conditions - images have great colour and good detail - indoors images can be a little noisey, and the flash might be a bit weak for large group photos (as is the case with pretty much all ultra compact cameras) - but other than this - the camera is very good - very compact (it will fit in any pocket!) - very stylish with a great metal body and a great 2.5" screen - it's very clear and very bright. The camera has a lot of "fun" features such as My Colours - but it also gives you good control on how your images turn out - for example if you want them bright and colourful switch to Vivid mode. It's a shame there's no case provided, but otherwise, this camera is very good, and the price is very good too! You can view sample photos on www.digicamreview.com in the Gallery.
Great little camera August 6, 2007

I tried various cameras before deciding on this one. Doesnt feel cheap and plastic, has a nice little bit of sturdy weight behind it. Rechargeable battery....always a consideration as the AA taking types are a nightmare. Although its not the biggest zoom about, the zoom is fantastic.....when using the screen (with full zoom) the picture will be very blurred but upon taking the picture its super clear. Some nice little function modes as well such as "animals and children", "fireworks", "aquarium". Setting for all different lightings. Has continious picture capability which is great if you want to do stills of a moment. The macro feature is excellent quality. Also a nice little touch on viewing back the pictures is that when you tilt the camera on its side the picture turns with you so you can still view it (not really required but nice touch).
All in all this is as good a camera as your going to get for up to about the 200 range. Nice and compact too fits nicely in the handbag. Top rating.
