After my IXUS130 is getting on in years and gave up the ghost was my first impression that the camera is larger, but still pocket-compatible, valuable in the processing is one of the Ixus usual image quality is for such a camera sufficiently. If it has to be better then the DSRL has to serve .. I've bought this camera to carry them in your pocket to be always ready knips .. For it is made and served its purpose. If the new Live mode me until now thrilled with the first shots. I would buy the camera back and for someone of a small camera looking and beautiful pictures want to ask around without much for the Canon Ixus 155 is a strong buy recommendation.
