This camera is super handy, easy and awesome. Looks chic and also makes sending images. I had this and an Olympus SZ31 ordered as me in the Olympus Super Zoom had provoked. Although I have decided at the end of the Olympus, but forgive 5 stars for the small Ixus - you just have to know what you want to have - and as a small compact to always have it is ideally suited. I personally like the Creative Modes like, prefer the color filter. I have put a few photos inside. In the macro range, I had no problems. I had read here in a review that the camera does not focus as ever - I could not notice. Because it makes good photos. And the battery life is also great. So whom the 8x zoom is sufficient here has a neat camera for a low price.
