I own the Ixus 40 for 4 days now and they have due to many negative assessments squeezed until no longer possible! All possible shooting situations (indoor outdoor night shots) under different lighting conditions and motives (and in some cases very severe) were tested, and now I have more than 600 pictures on my computer. I met with a lot of skepticism when I shot the numerous images and was not expecting much! BUT: I was always taught better and my breath away it is often the language, the images in layouts on different shooting situations have become absolutely good! Of these, over 600 images is not an image out of focus or even VERAUSCHT. My predecessor was the camera PowerShot A60. From her I knew that when focusing attention should be paid to what the camera takes as a motif (maybe some did not pay attention?). And of course there were times when I did not have the desired subject, because maybe something else was in the picture (there are situations when you want to focus on something else and the camera and its 9 point autofocus can of course do not know if I several possible motives in the picture have intentionally. It is focused precisely itself, which is, of course!) The several times mentioned battery life is not so negative, because I am vollstens satisfied (I can shoot all day and pictures at the end of the day the battery is just empty, but fits and Recharging takes only 90 minutes!). Perhaps it has too many laymen here or there at this UKK faulty production, because what some reports, is either very brazen or the truth! Anyway, immediately ordered a second camera and test! Everything else has already been said: This one shoots pictures and makes videos that will stay a successful one memory forever!
