General Comments
I bought the Canon Ixus I camera after lengthy research, I wanted a digital camera that would fit in my pocket and take good snap shots. And that's just what I got. The Ixus I has more features that I'll ever use and it has an impressive shutter delay time. It's even smaller and lighter than my mobile phone, wow, and picture quality is very good too.
What has disappointed me is that in ten months of ownership it has spent more than 9 weeks being repaired. The flash packed up without warning, so I sent it off for repair under warranty. After 4 weeks I rang Canon's repair centre to enquire when I would get it back, I have made several calls since to only to be told that I should have it back 'by the middle of next week'. This has gone on for way too long, and certainly has discouraged me from buying another Canon product. Such a shame.
