Canon IXUS 950 IS

Features: DIGIC III processor, Face Detection, Red-Eye Correction, Auto ISO Shift

Pros: Rugged design, developed from a tough aluminum body. It takes excellent picture, with reliable exposure, image colour rendition, detail, clarity, contrast and range. It produces next to no barrel distortion. The AF system is speedy, and the redeye correction works flawlessly.

Cons: It's not waterproof unlike some of the competition. Not as strong as some of the titanium-bodied IXUS models, notable the 960. I couldn't find a battery life indicator, it either does not exist, or is particularly different to locate. A baffling omission if true.

Verdict: A preferable option to the IXUS 960, which only includes a titanium body and marginally higher resolution. Neither which are essential. The 35-140mm telephoto range is standard for a camera of this expense, but some die hards may prefer the 28-105mm equivalent on the IXUS 850. Pricey considering the specification, however, its been built to an extremely high standard.
