Personally, I use a digital camera relatively rare, mostly it is used by my wife.
She had years of digital cameras Nikon and was always satisfied. Now buying a new camera on the go stand on. We looked at various models and at the end we ended up with the Canon Ixus 130. Operation is similar to the Nikon and processing was of the intuited models best (metal housing).
Positives:
Intuitive operation, it is very easy to find right even without manual.
Auto mode is often enough to take pictures in a good quality.
Further functions in manual mode are adequate and bring the desired results.
Willingness to switch is very fast and faster than with our previous digital cameras.
Megapixel number as written previously very high but straightforward, with problems simply lower on a
Provide resolution back.
Face recognition works properly, gimmicks like Lächel- or blink there also are but
beside the point ...
Battery life is also very neat, (about 40sec on average) disappeared eg after several short videos and 70 photos is just a load beam 3.
HD video record convinced me / us completely.
Negatives:
so far only the sound of videos but is actually just a camera to take pictures, plus there is no autofocus in video, but just as it did when sound is just a photo camera.
as negative, one could say even the slider for the zoom of maintenance is relatively small and requires a little feeling in the operation. But the cameras are supposed to be operated with one hand at the present day, and therefore a certain loss of comfort is accepted then stop at something.
All in all, these are all but no negative point, so drop by here to take a point from this camera into the weight.
Price / performance ratio is therefore perfectly and there is full 5 points because you in the evaluation must always evaluate what you would expect for a camera of this size and in this price range.
So I perceive worher critical of this camera but so far let me fully convincing.
If there anything should occur thing to complain about, I will update it in my review.
Buy recommendation: Yes unrestricted. Who sometimes just wants to make images in a good quality and a camera looking that fits in your pocket, but this is to do a good qualitative and robust impression is this the right place!
In this sense, a lot of fun while shooting ....
