General Comments

After a lot of searching, I bought a Canon Ixus 40 last week and I'm very happy with my choice. I think that the camera produce images with excellent picture quality, both on Auto or Manual programs. It has a 3x optical zoom, 60fps 640x480 video, 50-400 ISO, 6 auto programs, a lot of manual settings and many flash modes. Ixus is only 8.5 cm but it has a very big (2'') screen. Canon additional software is also very good. I think that the only "bad" think is the battery. It takes a special lithium battery but its duration doesn't satisfy me.

My opinion is that Canon Ixus 40 is ideal for someone who just wants to press a button to take a photo but it will also cover more sophisticated needs.
