Performance
The IXUS 950 IS took 1.2 seconds to start up and capture its first JPEG. Subsequent JPEGs took 1.7 seconds between shots without flash but slowed significantly to 3 seconds between shots with the flash turned on.

The IXUS 950 IS's shutter lag measured 0.5 second in our high-contrast test and 0.7 second in our low-contrast test, which mimic bright and dim shooting conditions, respectively. The other area where the IXUS 950 IS lags behind its predecessor is continuous shooting. The IXUS 950 IS yielded about 1.4 frames per second (fps) regardless of image size.
