Have long wanted a compact camera that is cheap, has a good zoom, and when the battery lasts a long time. In addition, they should do everything "alone". Manually I should like to say the flash on or off. My choice fell on the new IXUS 170th Anyone looking for a good and compact travel zoom camera in a handy format that should not cost more than 140 Euros, making the Canon IXUS 170 in my view nothing wrong. It is regarded as the successor to the IXUS 155. This role does justice to the whole, although the differences with the larger zoom are minimal. Positives: 12x zoom, which makes you feel good fast enough for snapshots In daylight, very good pictures Battery lasts a relatively long time by (about 400 photos / charge) Easy to use, instructions read not absolutely necessary practical help function in the camera Compact, yet not too small for large hands
Negatives: Visible Noise (which unfortunately is normal for cameras in this price range) when shooting at night
In addition, the camera has no "frills" such as Wi-Fi, but I do not have been important. Conclusion: Square, no wrong: rectangular, practical, good.
