Canon IXUS 75

Reviews

Posted on 01 / 08 / 2007

"What digital camera" magazine rated it top in it's class. Produces lovely full colour widescreen shots. Mini video feature is a fav with my kids.
I've noticed a lack of detail on some photos. A friend said this was due to 'image noise'. Battery life is low.

The in-store demonstrator stated he owned one (always a good sign unless they are lying), the verdict of most camera magazines I've read, online opinion etc., was that the IXUS 75 is the best pocket compact on the market.

Why I love it,

- performance is one second quick, especially the AF system

- styling is excellent

- optical quality

- screen covers virtually the whole of the rear, it's large, bright, and clear

- in dark low light conditions it performs impressively, it does include a AF assist light feature

- lens does not produce any noticeable distortion, colour reproduction at wide angles is superb

Overall, it costs a little extra, but performs near flawlessly. I use it when cycling, so performance in low light was a must, it gets banged around alot so it's pretty rugged and tough. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anything better for shooting stills and video for under £200.
