Excellent – Overall, I will never buy another brand of camera. The Canon ixus has outlasted any others I have had in the past and by far exceeds the others in quality of shots, battery life, price and durability. Highly recommended!! I absolutely love this camera. After owning several digital cameras over the years (Olympus etc), this has by far been the best for many reasons. The best thing I think is that the battery seems to last forever which is so important for me. I have taken this camera on several long travelling stints where I am shooting stuff all day, and I reckon you still only need to charge it every second day. The charger is fast too, only about an hour to have it fully charged which is great when travelling! All functions of the camera work brilliantly (from the automatic "sunset" type functions, to the manual settings) and the menus are very easy to navigate around. The Macro function in particular works extremely well on close up shots, and captures brilliant detail. The screen is huge and bright and the design of the camera is very compact and stylish. This is also the toughest camera I have ever owned, ive unfortunately dropped it hard a few times, and dragged it around the world in backpacks twice and its still going strong. I also have friends that won Canon IXUS models and they all say the same, it seems these models just keep getting better and better!! Nothing important I can think of! The only thing I havent really successfully captured is fireworks despite trying a few settings.
