How to select the right Canon point-and-shoot



The IXUS series


(Note: This series may be known by other names in different regions. Japan uses IXY, while US calls it PowerShot and/or ELPH, depending on the make.)

The stylish Ixus series cameras are targeted at the fashion-conscious who want a good-looking point-and-shoot. The name of this series has, however, established itself in households, and it is not uncommon to hear people asking: "Which Ixus is good?" That said, the decent image quality of these shooters appeals to enthusiasts who want a camera to bring around for everyday snaps.

In this series


Digital IXUS 990 IS
The 990 IS inherits the same 5x optical zoom lens from its predecessor, the 970 IS, which makes this Ixus the one with the longest zoom range in its family. The new camera has also been upgraded with an accelerometer which can be used in image playback mode by tilting the camera on either side to scroll through pictures.

Other related models: Ixus 970 IS, Ixus 980 IS, Ixus 870 IS and Ixus 860 IS


Digital Ixus 100 IS
This slim and chic point-and-shoot is so compact you can literally slip it into your pocket and forget it's there. Besides the 10-megapixel image sensor and 3x optical zoom, Canon has also managed to squeeze an HD video-recording feature into this petite camera.

Other related models: Ixus 110 IS, Ixus 95 IS and Ixus 80 IS
