Excellent camera at a bargain price.,
I bought this camera as a carry around to compliment my Nikon SLR. I have owned Canon IXUS camera in the past ( 90 IS) and was very impressed, therefore I decided to replace it with this as this one comes with a bit more of the latest technology than my old one.
First impressions were pretty good, although the build quality is slightly plasticky. The battery cover is quite flimsy for instance. To be fair though this is at the lower end of the IXUS range.
Now onto how it performs. I wasn’t expecting it to rival the DSLR in overall image quality, and it doesn’t however for a compact I find the image quality very good. The noise control is excellent, you can actually use the images take at 3200 ISO for smaller prints. The lens is pretty decent, delivery good sharpness across the frame, focussing seems to be pretty accurate. I have tried a Panasonic Lumix TZ-6 and a Nikon S560 in comparison, and the Canon has much better image quality than either of them.
Video quality is good, although it won’t play on windows media player. You can zoom during playback, but this is only digital zoom, so if you zoom in too far picture quality degrades.
I would class it as an excellent buy. Canon are currently doing a cashback promotion on this model of £20, so in the end it worked out that it cost me £115 all in.
To finish off I would like to mention the service from Amazon. It was excellent. I ordered this camera on a Sunday afternoon, and used the free super saver delivery option. The camera arrived on the Tuesday.
Overall 5 out of 5, it does everything you could realistically ask of a compact, and isn’t too expensive.

Canon Camera Ixus115,
Great bit of kit! fantastic price and fantastic photos! great fun compact camera, its menu driven, yet easy to work out how to do things! (even easier if you have already owned a canon compact camera) plus points for this camere inc metal body, and I love the slow motion movies! also it can take minature effect shots and fish eye shots to name but a few! in fact give it a week and you should be taking some very good photos, and worked out where every thing is. If your not that adventureous – then simply slide the switch over to auto, and the camera takes the shot for you, but to be honest if thats all you want then there are cheaper cameras about. I love this camera its the best canon I have had so far and would advise any one to buy it. I bought a 16GB SD card for my one, and it can now take over 5000 photos! it dosent come with a card.
