The first impression of the camera is positive.
In her discreet gray the Ixus is visually elegant and stylish.
On the back is a 3.0 inch LCD monitor for image viewing falls on that dissolves 460,000 subpixels. For these very small camera a tremendously large monitor, which I personally liked a lot!
The initial setting of the camera is as simple as ever with Canon!
In principle, you do not need instructions!
Just insert the battery and a-unfortunately not included memory card and off you go!
Date and time are retrieved and the camera is ready.
Somewhat negative I feel that during initial language can not be stopped immediately. Only in the menu area changes the language setting of English can make into German what I feel inconvenient.
Then you can start taking pictures already! And that is very easy with the Canon Ixus 140. Either you stay in automatic mode or switches by pulling down a small switch on the rear panel in the Creative Zone mode, which invites you to experiment. Well, it's more gimmick, but still it's fun shooting in fisheye lens mode or in the setting to make toy camera ".
Personally, I like to do black and white photographs. The results with the Canon Ixus 140 were positive.
Thanks to an optical image stabilizer and a wide Winkle in fast reacting car Fokuses
gelingem most photos and are of really good quality.
Only at low light sources, the photos seemed unclear or blurry.
I also had the feeling that not enough of the flash in these situations.
The flash seems to be the little problem of the camera! Even with the setting:
One can only between automatic "A" from "and slow sync"
Choose! With the red-eye reduction is missing "!
Overall, the Canon Ixus 140 is a truly recommendable camera.
It is small, compact and weighs less! She is powerful and easy to use!
Invites you to a user, easy to make spontaneous photos, because looking at the camera because of their
small size and weight can wear in your pocket with easily.
It remains indeed in the Canon - camera family ...!
Hence my reference:
The little sister of the Ixus 140 Canon Ixus 132 just like it a little better.
It is slightly smaller, still seems a bit more elegant in appearance and has nearly the same features. She is nearly 50 euros cheaper!
