Windscreen, stunning images, brilliant face detection technology - the flash, for example, doesn't result in glared out faces as with some cameras (I'm looking at you Casio!) - you won't be disappointed!!
A bit chunky but still looks extremely stylish! Viewfinder might have been nice but that's in one of the other models (970 I believe?) - I chose the widescreen factor over the viewfinder and to be honest, I haven't regretted it so far!! Video quality isn't so good when fully zoomed in (but it will let you zoom in whilst filming which some cameras won't do). To be honest though if you want to film, buy a camcorder! Also, a bit pricey compared to other 8 mega pixel cameras.
The Canon IXUS 860 IS is the best point-and-shoot camera I've had (and I've been through a few!). Wasn't convinced in the shop (looks a bit chunky) but having stopped off at the beach on the way home, I switched it on and promptly fell in love. The screen is razor sharp with image quality to match. The inclusion of a so-called widescreen lens adds dramatic flair to your pictures. That, plus a range of pre-set image modes makes it a doddle to shoot different images in different situations. Plus there's always the Automatic setting for snapshop photography. I'd always been a fan of the Panasonic range previously - the FX33 was my previous camera. It did have a tendency to lose all detail in the sky though in many pictures - the light seemed to burn the colour out of the sensor. I have the Panasonic FZ18 as my main camera but for when I'm out with my mates the IXUS 860 has to be the one!
