Good Points
Amazing camera for a party fanatic or student like myself. It always seems to be in my pocket when I need it the most.
Canon are the best cameras I have owned. This one has a solid build, and has withstood snow whilst skiing, and extensive sun exposure.
It has taken great photos, and has never failed to impress others with its size.
I bought it on EBay through a Canon retailer for £100, and for that money I have taken nearly 4000 quality pictures so far. Definitely a good investment.
Bad Points
Sometimes the pictures can be blurry, but this mostly occurs when I've had a few beers.
The zoom is not great.
The battery life is not indicated until nearly flat.
General Comments
Overall the Canon Ixus I is a great camera, and perfect for quick shots at parties and holiday snaps. It has a quality build, and is a fine piece of photographic equipment. It is a definite must for someone who wants to aim and shoot, but has many more options for the more experienced.
