    I bought my Ixus V3 8 months ago. I can only describe it as superb. This camera is so compact and goes everywhere with us - as well as on nights out with groups of friends. It's so easy to use, everyone takes photos with it. I have taken well over 2000 photographs with it to date. I do occasionally have 'red eye' problems, but the software that Canon provide (Photoimpression)is so simple to use it clears red eye up in seconds.
    I was no camera expert and this was my 2nd digital camera (previous Ricoh 300,000 pixel nasty thing), but I would recommend the Canon Ixus V3 to anyone, other than those who want to buy a camera for £250 and expect it to deliver £600 quality photos. If thats what you want then buy a camera for £600. Remember, you get what you pay for !!!

    First impressions :
    The camera retains all the qualities in both features and build that people have come to expect from the Canon Ixus range. In an ever changing world it is also reasuring to see that the functions and design of the camera remain largely unmodified.

    Picture quality remains exceptionally high for the size of lens. Movie mode has been lengthened to a maximum of 3 minutes per clip. Multiple clips can be taken until the card is full of the battery gives out.

    Menus remain ...

    Note: I purchased the USA version of this camera and it is labeled the "Powershot S230." I will refer to it as the S230 instead of the "Ixus v3."

    For objects 6 inches or greater in distance, this camera does an amazing job in its ability to take crisp, clear images. I have had very little problem with the auto-focus. Due to its size, I have found it very convenient to carry in a variety of places. Users aren't merely resigned to taking bland photos as the S230 offers many uniq ...

    Having looked around the internet for reviews on this camera (and only reading good things) I decided to use my hard earned cash and fork out the £350 for this one. After learing the basics I was out and about shooting all sorts. First thing I noticed is shooting using the flash results in extremly bad red eye, even when the redeye option is in use. Secondly using the long exposure results in picture quality being blurred.
    Only get this camera if you plan on using it for still life ima ...

    Having owned the Canon G2 for some time and found it to be an excellent camera I was very interested in the new V3 to use in situations when carrying the "house-brick" G2 was not convenient. After a day of use I was utterly disappointed in the V3. The 9-point autofocus has a mind of its own with very little that the user can do to convince it to focus on the intended subject. I use the word focus here lightly since the images produced when it decides to focus on something you actually want are a ...
