Good – I got this camera to replace the IXUS 30 that I was using. The IXUS 70 is just an improvement on the IXUS 30 I found. It takes very good photos however there are more impressive camera out there if you want to pay that little bit extra like the panasonics. The size is great and fits easily into your pocket. If you are looking for a very good take everywhere camera then this one is good and cheap. Nice small camera that fits in your pocket. It takes good images and the battery lasts for a very very very long time. The screen seems a bit fragile with slight scratching appearing.
