Canon's Ixus compacts are usually good value for customers with modest photo ambitions, but this one looks like a product of the marketing-by-numbers.

Review : Canon IXUS 155

<b>Canon</b> make two ranges of small <b>cameras</b> the very tiny %C2%96 but powerful %C2%96 <b>IXUS</b> and the slightly larger %C2%96 but a lot smaller than they used to be %C2%96 PowerShot. Here an <b>IXUS</b> offering don%C2%92t dismiss it because it%C2%92s small as it%C2%92s still a very good camera.
