Powershot Ixus
Which digital camera? Canon Ixus or Powershot?
I currently own an Ixus V3, which is rather old now! I would like to replace it in time for my next holiday, but I don’t know which. I like compact cameras, that’ll fit in my pocket (safer when being a tourist!), but I’d also like it to take a decent shot if my aim is right! I’m not much of a photographer, but I do get lucky with what I catch sometimes. I like to have a decent zoom and ease of use is important. I’m happy to pay up to £200.
Any suggestions?
I have a Powershot 700 and my girlfriend has an Ixus 800. We are both absolutely delighted with them. They both take great photos. The Powershot is a bit more programmeable and has a better optical zoom. The Ixus is easier to use and smaller.
I guess it really depends what you want to take photos of. They are both good cameras but I’d probably go for the Ixus based on useability.
One other factor is that the Ixus comes with a unique battery style (my girlfriend’s had a charger included) but the Powershot will take standard AA batteries if you’re nowhere close to your charger.
