Overall Rating

Small enough to fit in the palm of my hand & in my pocket
Very simple to operate on auto
Easy to download pictures using ScanDisk Compact Flash Card reader
Bad Points
With poor short sight vision, not easy to see the small symbols & settings for non auto use
On/off button a bit small & fiddly
Use of LCD leads to rapid battery power drain
General Comments
I've had this camera for about a month - my first digital - and it is brilliant. I purchased a 64Mb Compact Flash Card & Scan Disk reader, to ease process of downloading to my desktop PC - all very easy. I have yet to exhaust the CF card - I took 88 photos on a trip to Nice and it still had room for more!
Real plus about the IXUS is its size - I can carry it in the palm of my hand or just slip it into my pocket - it makes it quick to retrieve for that spur of the moment shot. Shooting on auto is very simple - once you have got used to the fiddly on/off button. The picture quality is superb. I erase the CF card after every trip - roughly once a week, and create a dedicated folder for each 'event' on my PC.
I'm just starting to experiment with the non auto settings, to get rid of red eye, or to create special effects. This takes a lot more getting used to, as my short sight vision is not great, due to age, and the small symbols on the LCD are not easy to read. I guess this will improve with practice.
If, like me, you are really just a point and shoot person, then this camera is hard to beat.
On average, people found this review very helpful
