Customer Review

The Ixus 100 IS is super slim, lightweight, and smooth. There are no parts, no disturbing switches and buttons. That makes it the perfect camera for the pocket or shirt pocket, you can plug it in, without having noticed it. Especially for parties where the quality of the recordings is not the decisive criterion, it is therefore optimal.

Positives:
+ Top notch case, good workmanship
+ Good display
+ Very fast autofocus with face detection practical
+ Position sensor
+ HDMI connection for LCD televisions
+ Review viewfinder (quite helpful in sunlight - also helps to save battery because you can turn off the display)
+ HD video (1200x800, 30fps)
+ Flash effectively
+ Easy operation
+ Super portable

Negatives:
-High Noise in indoor shots, even at ISO 80
-12 Megapixels do not make sense - the noise makes the 12MP practically unusable
-despite the 12 megapixel image files are only as large as a low compressed 4 megapixel image - all right?
Mode selector is very fiddly and probably not for Grobmotoriker with thick fingers
-HDMI Cable is not included

Overall, the IXUS 100 IS is a super-slim secondary camera, for example, for Parties, highly recommended. The design is done and provides mE its competitors deep into the shadows. The price is relatively high, but you do not want to give up the camera when you once.

In her class she has earned quite 4 to 4.5 points.
