Features and performance are in line with the rock-bottom price, but it punches above its weight for image quality.
This is another from the range of small pocket cameras produced by <b>Canon</b>. The Ixus range normally has solid batteries and the <b>PowerShot</b> range %C2%96 as with this %C2%96 normally are controlled by %C2%91AA%C2%92 batteries to power the unit.
Cheap and cheerful, but not all plain sailing
