It may be hard to remember now, but it is worth remembering that what Apple did for the personal computer with its iMac, Canon did for camera design with the original Ixus. So strong is the design ethos of the brand that even in this incarnation the...

We have to say, the Ixus 960 is one of the nicest cameras we’ve seen, with a titanium body and sleek finish – you just want to caress it gently in your hands. It’s also nicely balanced and most controls are intelligently set out. But on...

A superbly easy-to-use and feature-laden compact camera that’s well worth the price. Same titanium shell as before, with a lowlight ability. It doesn’t look much different to its illustrious predecessor, but the gorgeous 960 IS, which rep...

When it comes to look and feel the 960 IS definitely our favourite IXUS in a while. It’s bulkier and weighter than normal, but in a good, reliable way, rather than a weigh-your-troos down fashion.And it’s no surprise that the 960 IS is bigger...

The Canon Powershot SD950 IS may be a bit larger than most ultra-compact but it makes up for it in image quality and performance. The 12 megapixels sensor here does show some image noise, even at ISO 200, but details are still well-kept until ISO 400...
