Canon Digital IXUS 750

Yet another slim and stylish IXUS from Canon, but it doesn't come cheap.

Canon PowerShot SD550 Review

This camera is targeted to Point-and-Shoot photographers with 7.1MP resolution and a 3x optical zoom. It gives very good to excellent image quality. AUTO and Scene Modes simplify shooting, but more advanced photographers can also switch to the Manual...

Review: Canon Digital IXUS 750

A stylish and well-built camera, built to last longer than may of the cheaper cameras on the market with a similar specification (but not a similar price tag), so how does the IXUS 750 compare?..

Software ; Image Control

Price ; Tiny buttons

At the end of the day the styling and design of this camera is aimed at a particular type of consumer. It is a feature rich model, and the features really work, each changing the color and nature of the photos (so many ?advanced? features on other...

Review of the Canon IXUS 750 - Digital SLR Reviews

Taking its place at the head of Canon's stylish IXUS range is the 750, which - without wishing to sound like a luvvie - oozes class.

PC Mag has bestowed its prestigious Editor's Choice award on Canon's ultracompact, and it seems ultraawesome, 7.1 megapixel PowerShot SD550 Digital Elph. As we've reported before and its name kinda indicates, the $409-at-Amazon SD550 is an update of...

Quick performer. Excellent image quality. Unique "My Color" feature. Good ergonomics. Sleek and attractive.

Menus could be improved. No manual settings.

Just like the SD500, the Canon PowerShot SD550 Digital Elph is a versatile, accurate, fun 7MP compact camera that performed very well on our tests and will appeal to a broad section of shooterswhich is why, once again, it wins our Editor's Choice aw

Canon PowerShot Digital Elph review

Canon PowerShot Digital Elph

Ultracompact design; long battery life; excellent burst capabilities; low shutter lag; versatile movie mode.

Few manual controls or scene modes; image quality is far from stellar.

Decent image quality and a well-rounded snapshot feature set make the high-performance ultracompact Canon PowerShot SD450 one of the better choices in the current Digital Elph lineup.

Canon Powershot SD550

Announced August 2005 (only 6 months after its predecessor), the SD550 (which goes by the names of Digital Ixus 750 in Europe and IXY DIGITAL 700 in Japan) is the latest in a long line of ultra-compact 'ELPH' or 'IXUS' cameras stretching back to early...

Excellent resolution, Very compact and pocketable, Beautifully built and all-metal construction, Excellent color and exposure, Manual (custom) white balance, Fast focus and very responsive performance overall, Good flash performance, High performance...

Low contrast fine detail (such as foliage or hair) can look a little soft, AiAF focus unreliable - turn it off, Screen resolution not high enough for a 2.5-inch LCD, Some purple fringing, Slight corner softness at wide angle, Battery life when using...

Okay, so the SD550 hardly breaks new ground, and - coming only six or seven months after the SD500 it replaces - I'd have been surprised if it was.
