General Comments

The Canon Ixus V2 digital camera has some very nice points and is a dramatic improvement over the previous model. The controls are far easier to use and are in a more logical combination. The quality of both stills and movie images is very good for a 2 mega pixel camera.

The option of a Waterproof case is a very good addition while the cost is very reasonable. The images that are produced under water are exceptional and rival some film cameras. The waterproof case allows all the funtions of the camera to be used without hinderance, even past the 30 metres it is quoted as working to. Build quality also shines through in the construction of the waterproof case and gives every confidence that the product will last even in harsh conditions.

Overall this camera has all the functions that are required by the average photographer and it gives a good argument against needing anything higher in resolution terms.

Professionals will always require higher quality but the average user may not. Try the camera and be pleasantly surprised.
