IXUS 100 by J. Bell
I recently purchased this camera along with an 8gb memory card which allows you to save 2500 photos on the highest quality settings. I have a proffessional SLR camera which shares many of the features of this camera and you can also manualy control iso speeds white balance etc as well as having fantastic auto and macro modes.I have taken some great pictures in the dark and in brilliant sunlight. The screen is very large for the tiny size of the camera body taking up most of the rear, the controls are well laid out and intuative to use. I have large fingers and hands and do not have any problems operating as suggested by a previous reviewer. The real gem of this camera is the HD video it records I was absolutely blown away with the quality of the playback on my Sony Bravia and also on my HD PC monitor while the sound playback from the camera speaker isnt great it is more than adequate when played back through PC or TV speaker systems. Man, Woman or older child I would recommend for anyone who wants a small compact top quality camera.

Canon ixus 100 by Rick W. Towers
Found the rating useful and informative, and easy to buy on Amazon.

Product arrived quickly (and was cheaper than anywhere else I could find on/ offline) and does exactly what it says on the tin. Easy to use, loads of features (video, resizing photos, red eye removal etc), TINY in size, yet huge screen to view photos. I've had 2 previous models in the ixus generation and this is by far the best, and compared to other similar brands is an outstanding buy.

You'll need to buy a case to protect your shiny new toy and an SD card.

Even better than expected by Billy's Grandad
This my 4th Canon digital camera, I'm still using an old Powershot G2 (still fantastic results) and a Powershot G6 (a fantastic camera in every respect) but my old Ixus 400 just gave up the ghost and, needing a true pocket camera, the Ixus 100 IS seemed the perfect choice. Most of the good reviews don't come close to describing the ease of use and great results from this camera. The stills are fabulous from a camera/lens combination of this size and the video facility shows great quality when replayed. The camera (mine is black) is also unobtrusive which can be a boon if taking pictures at a party etc. All in all a fantastic camera and by today's standards, excellent value for money.

Small powerful and stunning HD video by Wuzabeeb "mrfussy"
I bought this little camera for my wife to use. The pictures from it are wonderful, the battery lasts a pretty long time, and the 1280x720P video is simply amazing. How it does it with sich a tiny lens is beyond me. I recently went to a family wedding, they had nobody videoing - so I shot as much as I could using this camera. When I got home, and loaded it to DVD ... my wife was as pleased as I was. I also have the EOS5D MkII which is the most amazing camera in the World .. but this little Ixus camera does an incredibly good job at a fraction of the price and size.
Wish the optical zoom was more - but hey - at THIS price!!??

First Time Buyer - Excellent Product! by Mr.T. Mitchell
This is my first digital camera and im thoroughly please with it. As a first time buyer i did quite a bit of looking around before making my purchase and im glad i went for th IXUS 100is. Its plus points are:
-Small, sleek design ideal for anyone that wants a compact digital camera.
-Battery life is immense, took it to a 3 day festival and then used it the weekend after and its battery did not drop below 2 bars.
-So easy to use, i hardly had to read the instructions to get great picture quality. The functions are simple and effective.
If you're a first time buyer or even an experienced owner this camera will provide the functions of everyday use. Its not meant for professionalism, its more fun, quick and simple...with 12.1MP!
