First impressions are that the Ixus 70 isnt the most exciting camera to look at. It’s basically a rectangular slab finished in brushed aluminium and black. Now, don’t get us wrong, it’s not ugly by any stretch of the imagination. Unlike...

This camera is no massive leap forward on the Ixus roadmap, and it doesn’t offer a lot in terms of features or functionality. But then the Ixus 70 doesn’t pretend to be anything other than a highly portable, pick-up-and shoot camera that can d...

Digital SLRs are great for all-round picture quality, but theyre bulky and difficult to carry around with you everywhere. So its always handy to have a quality pocket digital camera to keep with you all the time.
