One thing, I take pictures for fun and wanted a camera for snapshots with friends, family and leisure. The flash should be as soon as possible and invite the camera handy (not too big but not too small).
I can advise me in the store and I finally decided on the IXUS 105 in brown. The passed since 14 days and I can absolutely recommend the camera. I have set the Ixus on M2 (5 megapixels) and am totally satisfied with the images (both day and night scenes). The flash is available again shortly after admission and quite meet my expectations.
In program mode, shots of people on the move are now and then blurred. At first I was disappointed but then I a review is sunken, in which it was said we should switch to Kids & Pets. I did that and the pictures were great :)
Disturbing I feel only the extremely pixlige display when it is dark. But as long as the pictures are good ...
My conclusion after 2 weeks: Actually, I'm very happy that my 400 has given up the ghost. She was much globiger and the display was mini. No comparison to the 105. The battery life I can not criticize the past. Did one evening about 160 photos and had the battery followed by 2 of 3 bar. The color brown, I find something different. Alternatively, I would have bought me the color aqua.
